“US sent $221 million to Palestinians in Obama’s last hours,” by Matthew Lee and Richard Lardner, Associated Press, January 23, 2017:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials say the Obama administration in its waning hours defied Republican opposition and quietly released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority that GOP members of Congress had been blocking.
A State Department official and several congressional aides said the outgoing administration formally notified Congress it would spend the money Friday morning. The official said former Secretary of State John Kerry had informed some lawmakers of the move shortly before he left the State Department for the last time Thursday. The aides said written notification dated Jan. 20 was sent to Congress just hours before Donald Trump took the oath of office.
In addition to the $221 million for the Palestinians, the Obama administration also told Congress on Friday it was going ahead with the release of another $6 million in foreign affairs spending, including $4 million for climate change programs and $1.25 million for U.N. organizations, the congressional aides said. The aides and the State Department official weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity….

concerned canadian says
wtf !!!
thats a lot of money
couldnt they sent it to detroit
DFD says
$221,000,000?
I would have expected at least a billion. Look what the poor iranians had received.
Sarc off
John C. Barile says
The Iranians will give Hamas a cut of our jizya payments to them.
ich says
why would any country pay another it knows is bad…i bet obama gave up his lunch money
gravenimage says
Obama gave up *our* lunch money…
Koose E Mack says
Obama=POS
somehistory says
Our supper, dinner, clothing allowance, medicine and vacations for the next several decades. Utility and transportation money.
Notice that taxes on utilities just keep going up.
j.t. haley says
..yeah..Dearborn..no doubt..
A Harris USA says
Canadian, dear soul, take a lesson from this money give away to terrorist.. Never ever, put a Muslim in power!!! Ever wonder why there was such an out pouring for the Trump movement? Those here who have eyes to see and a brain knew that Obama was nothing but a Muslim enabler who used OUR money to expand terror………..not fight it.. To many of the younger set, who were to young to remember 9-11, bought the “good Muslim”, fraud, and have been brain washed to believe any Muslim is a good Muslim will never understand facts, only fantasy..
anthony rivera says
THAT IS SUCH A BIASED OPINION “To many of the younger set, who were to young to remember 9-11, bought the “good Muslim”, fraud, and have been brain washed to believe any Muslim is a good Muslim will never understand facts,” IM ASSUMING your of an older age? if so wisdom has’nt been to kind to you . i agree with your points of view except for the above statement. every religion has there nutjob radicals. i am a christian ; and our nutjob radicals in Christianity would be WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH , just to name one of MANY. so NO not all muslims are deadset on killing americans and not all muslims are BAD.
quota raven says
Anthony – re “so NO not all muslims are deadset on killing americans and not all muslims are BAD.”
No, Only those muslims who subscribe to and obey the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam.
Read it, understand how abrogation applies, and get back to us.
Cheers!

Sandy says
Great video to educate us on the “TRUE” intention of “MOST” and yes, I didn’t say all Muslims. But if they are true believers of their faith, they believe in Jihad! I encourage you to take the time to watch this long but informative video. Former CIA agent explains it all.
billybob says
Is it too late to put a “stop payment” on that cheque?
DFD says
Definitely. Any possibility of that, and he would have arranged for cash transfer.
Choi says
Obama probably gave it them in Gold REMOVED from Fort Knox
Richie says
Just curious, did Obama do ANYTHING to help the Christians being persecuted in the middle east?
DFD says
You’re joking, aren’t you?
Richie says
It was as if denied they even existed
Choi says
NOTHING!
He saved not one Christian
Detoilet Cheeseman says
Whites in South Africa maybe?
Brenda says
No but I want yo know WHY!?
A Harris USA says
Ritche, HAHA!! Obama the Muslim traitor needs to be in jail!! Instead, he runs free and does as much damage as he can !! Funding terrorist with OUR money, oh, that was his final slap to the decent people of the world… Pack up Obummer and head back to Kenya, never want to see that filth again!!
Dave Flang says
Did Obama cry out with “Allah Akbar” when he sent the money.
DFD says
Probably
Choi says
In his Head and “Heart”
markalta says
I always thought that Congress had to approve fiscal issues…how could the President do this?
gravenimage says
Probably why he didn’t send more…
Choi says
A LAWLESS President up to the 11th hour
And this Bastard is going to become the Ultimate Community Organizer,
Koose E Mack says
It was approved…but two Republicans put a HOLD Order on the funds. The question is, can anything be done to prosecute Kerry and Oblamer?
Adrian Johnson says
Thank God for those two Republicans.
Who are they so I can thank them?
Michael Ray says
Yes, that the real question. How to actually bring these criminals to justice?
Mo says
Money from where?! My God, how evil this traitor is! When will he brought to justice for his treason?!
Carpediadem says
Gee, one would think the Repubs would have done something about him years ago… but….
davej says
4 million for fighting climate change, 221 million for Islamic terrorists.
Pretty plain where his sympathies lie.
T. harvey says
I’m astonished that the American public isn’t making a BIGGER DEAL of this! Hopefully President Trump will try that traitor and lock him up for good. Anyone else guilty of the BS Obamanation and Killery pulled would’ve been locked up ages ago! Go get them Trump!
underbed cat says
So “woman” were used by pretty smile Obama, thru his leftist muslim sor(u)e losers to get the passoniate woman to march for a diversion to hit the media of paid for news,of headcounts and protesters of delusion so Obama’s decision to pay money to a terrorist group called Hamas ie Palestinian terrorist, so they can send more hell to Israel….Sounds like clever, hands clean behind the curtain-crimminal operation” with all the word means.” Approved by the other clever group who denies it’s own existence…the MB. and a secretary of State up to his shoulders in fodder and a pension…..very interesting. Very clever boss. If anything Trump has to ignore some of the bait and get more clever….quickly.
jmileau says
Because most of the Amican public was not told of transfer. The MSM had/has a vested interest in supporting the former President.
Champ says
obama is such an evil TRAITOR–not only to Israel but to the American people, as well.
MacUalraig says
You’re right… Tax dollars to those murderous bastards?!
Makes me blood boil.
Charles R. Curtis says
Champ… You are so right in your statement but it needs expanding.
Obama is NOT just a TRAITOR to Israel and the American people, he is a TRAITOR to the whole “Free Christian And Non-Islamic World”.
He has, since first becoming President of the United States of America, bank-rolled any and all organisations that have the avowed intent of bringing down modern civilisation and ensuring the implementation of a Worldwide Islamic Caliphate, where peoples of the world will have Hobson’s Choice… Either convert to the murderous devil sect of Islam.or be summarily slaughtered in the most barbaric way.
As an aside, may I, on behalf of all those in The British Isles who agree with the majority of the American electorate, congratulate America on its wise choice of Donald J. Trump as President.
MacUalraig says
Who are the Palis?
Are they the same people the land was named for by that Roman fellow?
Aavspatti says
They are Jordanians.
Carpediadem says
No they are not. They are from Jordan, Syria and Egypt.
dsinc says
That Roman fellow named it Philistine and the only Palestinians there were Jews. No Arab was called Palestinian ever until Yassir Arafat invented the “Palestinians”
maghan says
There were no Arabs there during Roman times. The Arabs invaded from Arabia to colonize all of West Asia. But look at that Palestine Mandate map of 1922. The land was to be divided between Israel and Jordan. That 2 state solution has long been extant.
gravenimage says
Very true, Maghan.
Lesley says
If Obama had only treated his own country 1/10th as well as he has treated the terrorists, he would have been a decent President…
I’d like to see Obama in the prison cell next to Hillary. Dare to dream >:-(
Roselle R says
Lesley,
Agreed! Also Soros, Kerry, Huma Weiner, and a slew of other islamic terrorist backers.
eur says
How many qasam rockets can they make with that money?
Mike says
Who needs toy rockets. You can buy a loose nuke got $40,000,000. I think Israel will need to make the first strike on them and Iran.
mortimer says
It’s obscene how much money is waste on the Pally terrorists. At the rate they were paid to attack Israel and foment hatred and trouble, they could have made every single Pally a millionaire. Why didn’t hey just give the money to the families directly? It would have done more good and less harm.
Obama must be a secret Muslim. The truth will come out. Obama has given more money to terrorists than any US president or rather all of them combined.
gravenimage says
Yes–none of this has gone for infrastructure, and little has gone to improve the standard of living for the average “Palestinian”. Most of it has gone to line the pockets of the “leaders”, and–much worse–has gone to waging violent Jihad against civilized Israel.
There may have been a time when American presidents would not have realized this, but that was long ago. That Obama shoved this through in the last days of his presidency likely means that he understood that most of the American public would not support this.
Cicero says
When the epithet “Muslim” was levelled at Obama I was dubious. After all his mother was a Christian: he was brought up by Christian maternal grandparents.
For a short spell of time ,as a child he went to a school in Muslim Indonesia and heard the muezzin’s call to prayer several times a day.. Such childhood memories linked with sense of security at that time give rise to a positive predisposition to the idea behind that sensory memory.( in this case the azaan is linked to a positive association with Islam). That was my reasoning.
However when I heard his outgoing speech in which he specifically mentioned Muslim Americans and called for the American to respect and give them unconditional regard I realised that in his heart this gentleman and man of power identified with Islam.
For those muslims who heard his speech would understand that Obama was telling them , albeit in coded language , ” I am a fellow Muslim”
jewdog says
I hope that all of the Jews who voted for this guy and who went to the latest protest are happy. Maybe the PA will name a landmark after you: Idiot Street.
gravenimage says
In final hours in office, Obama sent $221,000,000 to the “Palestinians”
……………………….
Well, I knew Obama would do as much damage as possible on his way out, so I cannot say I’m entirely surprised. Still–$221 million may translate to a *lot* of dead Jews–*Ugh*. I hope Israel is especially vigilant!
efoc says
Definitely gravenimage. Seeing this happen is disgusting. Obama has proven to be one of the most destructive and clueless Presidents ever. Shame on him – he could have at least spent this money on his own people. But, true to form, he decided to assist America’s enemies and felt that this was more important, even up until his last moment in power.
quota raven says
To Efoc:
“Clueless”? Really?
Not the word I’d have chosen.
Cheers!

efoc says
Fair enough. I could say worse but restrict myself 🙂
Max de Mestre-Allen says
He did spend it on his own people.
efoc says
Very droll 😉
Wtyson says
This will be used to wage war on America in the future
b.a. freeman says
mr. obama is a traitor. he *wants* to see the blood of innocents flowing in the streets in the hope that when that happens, the left will be in control of the government, and can seize control of the nation after declaring martial law to “protect” the citizens who cried out for help. if a few thousand, or a few tens of thousands, or perhaps a few million (if iran gets its nuke soon) dead americans are generated, well, that’s OK with him, because the Correct People will end up in control.
besides doing all he could to ensure mass death in the streets, mr. obama also did all he could to discredit local control of police with his hateful BLM movement. with enough complaints, the left hoped to nationalize the police, which would make seizing control later much easier. if a race war started, well, that was a price worth paying, because the Correct People would end up in control.
and just in case the nation proved resilient enough to shake off the blows mr. obama launched, he tried very hard to encumber future generations with massive debt that would be sure to cause financial collapse. if everybody were to be ruined and unable to buy food and housing, it would be a price worth paying, because he and his ilk would end up in control.
why would i think such awful things about mr. obama? first of all, what highly-intelligent LEADER would fail to make basic checks, such as ensuring that islam is peaceful? if mr. obama did not know that islam was evil, he could have – and should have, as a LEADER – assigned somebody the task of looking closely at islam to see if it was safe or not. if he didn’t know about islam and didn’t check, then he is an incompetent fool who should not have been leading the nation for eight years. if he DID know it was evil and didn’t say anything, then he is a traitor. mr. obama is *not* stupid. thus, just these three policies tell me that he is a traitor.
Carpediadem says
And where were the Repubs? Happily playing along/
no_one says
I am glad this guy is out of the oval office. Good there are term limits for presidents.
Gwenie Mugliston says
Why isn’t this donation to the “Palestinians” of our tax money NOT the act of a traitor? Why?
davej says
Put together the pictures of Obama in Muslim dress with his fawning support for Islam since he became President. Once the brain worm enters it can never be eliminated. There is no question but that his primary allegiance is to Allah, not to America.
ElderlyZionist says
So Obummer gave another bug pot of my tax dollars to the PA, which they will use, among other things, to fund stipends to the families of their fedayin suicide terrorists. Wonderful. The only mitigating circumstance is that the PA top dogs will no doubt steal most of the money and squirrel it away in the same Swiss banks that hold Arafat’s fortune.
Jaladhi says
So our hard earned tax dollars are sent to the murderers by our outgoing President. Can Trump block the check from cashing!!! Perhaps it was sent to Cayman Island Bank for transfer.
Bezelel says
He will run out of other peoples money, eventually.
Eric Jones says
This $221 million could have been better spent on eradicating lead poision in the water supply of Michigan and other parts of the USA. Americans have always been a no prioroity for Obama.
O Obama, I am glad you are gone!
Eric
Joseph Toubian says
This is unbelievable and heartful
T. harvey says
If this is all true, then he is a Traitor! I’m sure The Teump administration won’t let this go..or any other corruption that Obama got up to. Damn him and the Clintons!
Kay says
“Officials say the Obama administration in its waning hours defied Republican opposition and quietly released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority that GOP members of Congress had been blocking.”
—————–
Did he not have to get congressional approval? It says GOP members of Congress had been blocking the release; how did he weasel around it?
quota raven says
This transfer of money is way outside the limits of the power granted to the Presidency written in the Constitution. It is CONGRESS, not the president, who are charged with spending money, if I’m not mistaken.
And to Gravenimage, above, who sez Obama “pushed it through” during the last few days of his office. W/all due respect, I think it more accurate to say he “snuck it through”.without, apparently, even consulting Congress.Given his lack of respect for the Constitution, US Law and protocol, and his fondness for giving the middle finger to the USA, he didn’t even bother to “sneak” much. He probably signed the Executive Order (?) with a flourish.
Cheers!
quota raven
gravenimage says
Probably true, Quota.
Mark A says
I thought Congress has control of the public purse. Couldn’t Congress have stopped this?
Obama just had to continue doing damage to the country up until his last minutes in office.
Another quarter of a billion borrowed dollars wasted on top of the $9 trillion plus that Obama has already added to the US national debt.
But after the Palestinian Authority threatened war if the US Embassy was moved to Jerusalem and called Donald Trump assorted names following the Inauguration, I wonder whether this money will be the last American taxpayer dollars the PA sees for the duration of the Trump Administration.
I certainly hope so.
TassieR says
Terrorists were pardoned, welcomed, generously financed – and all this without even a shadow of accountability? Something is very rotten in the Land of the Free: future historians may think that the bastard was, in fact, the ISIS leader, not the American President.
underbed cat says
You know TassieR, I often wanted to say just the same, he shares more world view and characteristics with the “isis leader” ….so he had a dual role. American by birth maybe., but isis inspired as it oozed out of his pores, the concern about islamic slander, is truly only a command from allah….and he knew it, many did not.
Baucent says
A lot of that money to the PA will end up in the Swiss Bank accounts of senior PA officials, such is the corruption of that organization. The same outcome of much of the money from the EU countries.

Yes, tats tend to be sneaky like that…

n tesdorf says
Trump should put a quick “stop payment” on that cheque to the Palestinians and deduct it from
Obama’s future earnings. Given a choice of watching videos of Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or
Obama, I prefer the former four dictators as they show more integrity, responsibility and less religiou driven mania than Obama.
Barry says
Dr. Luke tells us in his gospel (17:2) that it is better for a person to be cast into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for that person be the cause for someone to stumble. There is a God, and He will judge every person’s actions – including Presidents. If a single penny of the money sent to the PA is used to harm a single soul, then whoever provided that money is directly complicit.
Sam says
And this traitor has high approval rating. What an ignorant nation we have become. Help Trump as this is our survival for a free nation.
rappini says
How the hell can that POS send that money with out congress authorization. If they approved it I would fire the speaker Ryan asap.
underbed cat says
Ryan seem clueless to me about the roots of terrorism. islamic doctrine and although he works hard, he appeared before the election silenced, excussing, and did not appear to understand the influence by the muslim organizations that have worked hard to use a misinformation warfare campaign to smoke screen the agenda to bring sharia to undermine the Constitution. Whether he know now I can’t say, but we need someone informed….or a updated briefing by a counterjihadist who many years ago was ignored.

Andrew Halmay says
Obama must be indicted on a long list of charges starting with treason. HE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO WALK FREE.
Hummer says
Walks like a duck talks like a duck-is anyone really surprised-it’s wrong and Obama needs held accountable as the smell of this reeks. The other thing that gets me is that we are mired with debt- where does a President get access to any such funds and not go through the House for approval.
Ric says
Obama is unconscionable, a man whose sole allegiance has always been Islam. Collaboration with the enemies of Western-Democracy has never caused this subversive a twinge of conscience, as he is a man without principles. His handing over the so-called Palestinians two-hundred and twenty-two million dollars is a slap in the face to not solely President Trump but taxpayers footing this seditious payout to those bent on the annihilation of Israel and in soon thereafter, the Western-Democracies. Western-Democracies mollycoddle and appease Islam, the religion of bloodletting, while their citizens are raped and murdered by the aforementioned.
Obama and others within the EU loathe Israel while holding Islam in high esteem. Obama has little empathy for the non-Muslim victims, especially Christians and Jews. Thankfully, Obama is no longer president; however, this man has not set his Marxist agenda aside. He and his true allies, Islam, are prepared, the little mullah that couldn’t, will adhere to his Holy Cause, the Caliphate.
disgusted says
Why don’t they hang this Traitor. We have the morning shows on TV praising him. Never tell the poverty ridden towns he would not visit. How was he ever elected to be President. What money and countries were involved in getting him elected. FBI will not even tell if Michell is transgender. Are the children adopted. Has he got a hidden son. If he was not black and a Muslim all this would be told.
paul says
Don’t worry. Abbas took it all personally…. Not a dollar for the poor muslims but one is now really rich.
There also likely is an agreement for a payout to obola. kickbacks R us!
Trump should give them equal amount in missiles…. until money is returned.
