    As federal agencies scramble to avert or delay sequester-tied furloughs, the Obama administration continues to spend millions of dollars on foreign aid to the Palestinians – and seek millions more, despite past efforts by Congress to freeze the money.

    Not to mention all the support he has already given to our enemies in Libya and Syria. It's a tough job creating and sustaining an ample supply of enemies for us to fight but somebody has to do it. The global bankers and corporations depend on endless wars for endless profits. Be a real shame if they had to take a cut in pay or face a lay off.
