Using a tactic he criticized when his predecessor employed it, President Barack Obama has asked Congress to approve “emergency” legislation to cover costs associated with disaster relief, assistance for Haiti and the military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Obama the candidate was critical of President George W. Bush’s use of supplemental spending measures to finance the two wars, and he swore upon taking over the Oval Office to pay for military operations through the normal budget process.
Of the $59 billion Obama is requesting, more than $33 billion is war-related spending, including weapons purchases, most of which is for the troop buildup in Afghanistan. Congress already approved $130 billion for the wars as part of the current federal budget.
It remains to be seen if Obama can get the votes for the spending bill. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) says it will be a “heavy lift” to win support in the House, while Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) intends to introduce an amendment requiring Congress to offset the emergency spending with cuts in other federal programs.

How come the world is told to tightened its belt and do without yet Obama is spending as if there is no tomorrow maybe there is no tomorrow but I used to like him till Haiti when he brought Clinton and Bush both war mongers in to take over its bad enough when white men abuse but when a black man does it its worse as I know many black Latino and poor whites looked to him to change things before its to late. But he had been to visit the Bildburge group this Masonic group who pick the leaders of the West. And has no real power he just cons the world better than Bush, Blair and Brown. To me all these people are set in the world to make the man and woman in the street stop looking to them to find the answers they are there to con and thieve from those who will let them like he knew all about the banks as did all the leaders from the western world every day at 11am the Rothschild's set the gold standard this is why the dollar has dropped 40% and gold is up400% get ready to suffer again.
