U.S. Move to Give Egypt $450 Million in Aid Meets Resistance
By STEVEN LEE MYERS

The Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it would provide Egypt’s new government an emergency cash infusion of $450 million, but the aid immediately encountered resistance from a prominent lawmaker wary of foreign aid and Egypt’s new course under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It seems that the Obama administration has forgotten a founding principle. Imagine that.... :roll:
