About the first GOOD move by Obama in his ENTIRE presidency so far.

Still, it's not perfect. He should have taken that 400 million from the Israel ``aid package``...

Or better yet, don't give anything to anyone.

While Obama is doing that, he's increasing the American arms in Israel for Israel so they can be ready for a long war...
U.S. to store $800m in military gear in Israel

The U.S. Army will double the value of emergency military equipment it stockpiles on Israeli soil, and Israel will be allowed to use the U.S. ordnance in the event of a military emergency, according to a report in Monday's issue of the U.S. weekly Defense News.

The report, written by Barbara Opall-Rome, the magazine's Israel correspondent, said that an agreement reached between Washington and Jerusalem last month will bring the value of the military gear to $800 million.

What about NO MORE MONEY FOR ANYONE?

And what does 400 million do anyway? The Iraq war costs 800 million/day...

So this is just PR from Obama nothing else.

I can commend the President for making this offer.

Nothing is perfect I might add.

Considering what they have been living off of, which is next to nothing as well as unemployment reaching almost 50%.

$400. Mil should at least help provide basic food such as Rice, Flour, Beans and Oil. As well as to repair some homes even if just as far as tarps and drywall are concerned.

Anything at all would help.
