[quote=kevmartin;99061]I have no problem with him spending the money. Unfortunately I am extremely doubtful of his motives being in the slightest bit noble. I think he wants to leave some kind of legacy that will be seen as something positive from the 8 years in office, so he won't be remembered through history as a president known only for his screwups.

Hey Kevin
I have question his motives at times, I hope this is not the final action he completes before his term is up.

The truth is..we will always have poverty stricken people with us with 3rd world countries, and as DA said..troubled times right here in our own backyard. We help out as much as possible to other countries in need. As the president of the United States of America..I duly believe he should have matters here tied up first and foremost. Thats why he is the President of the United States,,to take care of America first.

I like to believe his judgment with the war was just that..watching out for the United States so they dont invade us again..possibly during his term. Some say..if we weren't there they would be here..I don't know..but 911 indicates that possibility..

Its not to sound as though I dont care but no..I think the money should aid America first with our own economic hardship..as said earlier..we have been helping other countries forever in a day..we cant cure everything..
