Oh my: Hussein Obama giving Syrians $195 million for Eid al-Fitr

The United States must really be rolling in dough, because in addition to having his dog helicoptered to Martha's Vineyard on Sunday, President Hussein Obama has given Syria $195 million to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

From the official White House release:

Michelle and I send our warmest greetings to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr here in the United States and around the world. During the past month, Muslims have honored their faith through prayer and service, fasting and time spent with loved ones.

And:

To help the many Syrians in need this Eid al-Fitr, the United States is providing an additional $195 million in food aid and other humanitarian aid, bringing our humanitarian contribution to the Syrian people to over $1 billion since the crisis began. For millions of Americans, Eid is part of a great tapestry of America’s many traditions, and I wish all Muslims a blessed and joyful celebration. Eid Mubarak.

In other news, President Hussein Obama has warned disabled veterans that the prolonged sequester could put their benefits in jeopardy. 

Priorities man, priorities.
