Aid to Egypt


The Republicans have a rule that you never criticize a fellow Republican.  Since I am not a Republican, I will criticize the Obama administration for the second time this week.

There have been at least two letters to the Morning Call editor asking why, during the first week of the Sequestration, the U.S. has given hundreds of millions in aid to the Egyptian government.  I’m sure the aid to Egypt was for good strategic reasons, and I know that a few hundred million is chicken feed to the overall sequestration amount, but the symbolism is important.  

There are times when I think this administration is tone deaf.  This is one of them.
