GOP lawmakers are calling on the Obama administration to cancel $400,000 in economic aid to foundations run by Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi following his rambling diatribe at the United Nations this week and the hero’s welcome he gave to the Lockerbie bomber last month.
The State Department notified lawmakers earlier this month of its intent to disburse $2.5 million in economic aid to Libya, including $400,000 for Qaddafi’s foundations.

What I would like to know is why Obama would give taxpayers money to a foundations run by Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi to start with!

Am I the only one that see something wrong with this picture?
You, of course, noticed in the Libyan’s speech at the UN how he referred to Obama as an African? Wonder why?
2.5 million would extend unemployment benefits for some..
