Winners Don't Cheat

I got an email from someone called Nina Pellegrini (at something called vitaproductions.com) - whom I don't know, telling me that Obama & the Democrat Congress approved $20 million for the immigration of Palestinian refugees, associated with Hamas, into the United States, and stipends of verious kinds at taxpayer expense.

First she declares that H.R. 1388 is the offending legislation.

Now, I've heard about this, and while it strikes me as perfectly likely for ZerO to do...he didn't.

H.R. 1388 is "The Give Act". The one creating his little brownshirt army. Okay, that's an exaggeration. But you know what I mean. It has nothing to do with Palestinians.

Then Nina declares that ZerO did this by Executive Order. Again...he didn't.

Nina should PICK ONE....was it legislation, or an executive order?

Don't get me wrong. He's spending $20 million of U.S. taxpayers' money on Hamas connected Palestinians - which strikes me as an odd thing to do while Americans are losing their jobs and, could, you know, use the money. Not to mention that these poor, pitiful charity cases would blow us up in our beds if they had the chance. But these odious recipients of our largess will stay where they are, and soak up our resources in the comfort of their own sewers.

Here's the text of the Order:

Presidential Determination No. 2009-15 of January 27, 2009

The word "migration" is used. But there is no indication that this means immigration into the United States.

At least....not yet.

It's true we need to vanquish this Looter. But we can't do it by misrepresentation or being so gullible that we swallow and repeat anything that casts ZerO in a bad light.

It's not only irresponsible and unethical—it makes us look stupid.
