Against GOP objections, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that the Obama administration is sending $147 million in funding to the West Bank and Hamas-run Gaza.
Despite a “hold by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla.,” the administration is arguing the money needs to be sent on humanitarian grounds. They did not, however, explain how they plan to force Hamas to use the money for humanitarian purposes.
And while “administrations generally do not disburse funding over the objections of lawmakers on relevant committees,” those associated with Obama have proven more than willing to sidestep Congress to place American tax-dollars in the hands of their friends throughout the world. It was, after all, just last month that the administration circumvented Congress and gave $1.5 billion in aid to the Muslim Brotherhood-run Egyptian government.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration intends to provide some $900 million to help rebuild Gaza after the Israeli incursion that ended last month, administration officials said Monday.
In an early sign of how the administration plans to deal with Hamas, the militant Islamist group that controls Gaza, an official said that the aid would not go to Hamas but that it would be funneled through nongovernmental organizations.

NIce way of showing you didn't actually watch the clip in the OP......
Obama in fact rectifies himself, after having said 70 million, to saying clearly without doubt... 70 BILLION...
No wonder this took place during the Olympics. I thought he was sane, but I guess even though he's not a fan of Nuttyyahoo then he is apparently a fan of the other zionists that stand behind the terrorist state of Israel.
Pathetic....
No, the thread title is: Obama signs 70 BILLION DOLLAR pledge to Israel Whch he didn'/t do, he signed one for 70 million, then made a slip of the tongue. Ergo, thread title inaccurate.
