This is one place I where I am in agreement with Obama. We have to help keep Jordan stabilized. I´d rather send it to Jordan than to Egypt, but too late.

200million will buy a lot of jihadists ....

It really is time to STOP all foreign aide. Why are the American tax payers responsible for this outrage. Jordan has oil and is part of the cartel, they can provide money for their people. We send hundreds of billions of dollars abroad, and all we do is make the leaders of these countries richer, while their people still live in squalor, not a good return on our money. It is time we took care of HOME first, the liberals are always complaining about the poor, well use that money and setup ways to employee those on food stamps and welfare so they can become productive citizens instead of lazy TV bon bon eating wanting more and more for doing nothing.
Rant off

Probably go right to the Muslim Brotherhood, / Jihadis, rather than to the sorta decent government they have there.

That has been the MO so far from 0bama.

he better check to see if he needs that money to buy more ammo....

Obama and the congress who support him are guilty of aiding the Arabs, Muslims, Pakistani´s, Palestinians and every culture East of OUR shores...Has this ´president´ taken a look at OUR OWN people such as the American Indians, the people in Appalachia, the people in the backwoods of Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, and every State in OUR OWN country that needs help to bring them out of insane poverty??? Why is this so called president so hell bent on helping everyone else with OUR Billions of taxpayer dollars and not give a damn about OUR OWN poor??? The Jordanians are going to vote for him are they??? What a disgrace he is. Not worthy of wearing that flag pin he sports...must be to cover a hole in his jacket...

Barrack Obama: The only person in the entire world with a credit card that has no credit limit, or requirement to make payments on the accumulated debt.

Where´s the Arab League? Can´t Saudi Arabia do this?

The proposed aid money is designed to help the 450,000 and growing Syrian refugees sheltered by Jordan. This form of assistance is what the US has always done, from the 1948 Berlin Airlift to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. It´s part of the DNA that makes up USA.

The problem with such aid is that it is often seized by local thugs who either claim credit for the aid or who sell the food, tents, medicines and other basics for large profits. And, since even $200 million doesn´t last long when feeding/housing/treating 450,000 to surely 1 million by June, we get blamed for being miserly.

If our involvement to Syria is limited to programs like this rather than a military incursion and long-term occupation to keep Muslim sects from slaughtering each other, then this is a positive step. Remember, the religion of peace loves death and destruction.

Why bother going to Congress O? Just go straight to China and tap them for it.

JUSTSAYNO

I cannot believe the morons that want to continue financial aid - to any country. The majority ends up in the bank accounts of the kleptocrats. Can anyone name one thing that our trillions in financial aid has produced other than a bunch of billionaire criminals who let their own people die in the most miserable of manners?

And do we borrow the money from China?

One of Perry´s best ideas: no foreign aid unless a country is a loyal friend.

Many would not pass muster.

The king could take $200 mil out of his (whatever they use for a piggy bank).

Jordan is an ally. The country is under enormous strain from Syrian refugees. The brotherhood has targeted the King. We need to do what is possible to help stabilize the country. I´d like to see the Saudi´s step and help too. If the brotherhood manages to oust the King they´re next.

Use the $200M of our money that Obama is giving to the Palestinians. It costs American taxpayers millions anytime Obama, Biden, or Kerry leave the country as they go to each country passing out our money.

The Jordan Gummint spoke his language...

"Mo´ money, Bro!"

Muslim to Muslim, doncha know.

The over-rich Saudis should pay, not U.S. taxpayers, who are gouged by Saudis oil prices.

The Saudis can afford to pay for everything.
There´s no democracy there, so their people cannot object... they´d get beheaded.

Sorta like where the U.S. is "headed."

Two hundred million dollars for Jordan? Aren´t they the folks who danced in the streets when our towers fell?

Who has standards? You have standards. I have standards. Who has no standards? Answer The NSA ( No Standards Administration). When will we get fed up? Soon, I hope.

Abdulllah is not his father.

Where do Americans apply for foreign aid ?

Will somebody explain sequester to Zippy and take away his golden card ?
