Wait, what?

Well I see where John Kerry just sequestered Egypt for two hundred and fifty million dollars

Wonder who picked up that tab—

I see the sequester didn’t interfere with $250 million in new economic aid to Egypt. Kerry: “The U.S. can and wants to do more.”—

That’s right. Secretary of Dunce John Kerry is releasing $250 million in aid to Egypt. Morsi’s power grab? Totally a cause for aid.

so we have 250 million for Egypt but no money for our #military & social programs? #tcot nytimes.com/2013/03/04/wor…—

More from the New York Times:

The statement issued by Mr. Kerry noted that he and Mr. Morsi had discussed the need to ensure the fairness of Egypt’s coming elections, but it did not mention any specific political commitments the Egyptian president had made to receive the aid.

Parliamentary elections are scheduled for April. Some opposition groups have said they will boycott the vote because of what they see as an effort by Mr. Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood movement to dominate Egyptian politics.

American officials say that Mr. Kerry asserted that moving ahead with difficult economic changes in Egypt would require a degree of political consensus and was implicitly a promise of some political change.

No commitments? But, hey, he got promises and stuff. And we all know that power-grabbing dictators always keep their word!

@CNN @msnbc @nbc If @BarackObama was so worried about (his) sequester cuts to poor Americans, why is he giving money to Egypt and Syria?—

$250 million in aid to Egypt? During the sequester? Wow. I wonder how our federal employees on furlough feel about that. #mostgenerousnation—

Go ahead #uniteblue defend Obama giving millions to Egypt while crying about#sequester—
Warren G. Harding (@Snarky_Harding) March 04, 2013

So, Obama and his friends cry about the “pain” that will come from the sequester, and yet, they send MILLIONS to Egypt? #tcot—

Let me get this straight, we have “sequester” going on but can give 250 mil to Egypt in “aid”?
Thought we were broke?—

Sequester is so devastating that Kerry pops $250 mil for Egypt? Since all our previous $ are paying off brilliantly.—

We have plenty of money. Just ask the Muslim Brotherhood. #sequester#egypt—

How does #Sequester sound this morning when you read this headline:
Kerry Announces $250 Million in U.S. Aid for Egypt. Money well spent?—
John Goodman (@JohnLGoodman) March 04, 2013

Have we figured out how many furlough days could’ve been avoided with the millions given to Egypt, for those Obama predicted Sequester doom?—

Somebody please tell me how we are sequestered and can’t pay our own bills but can give 250 million to Egypt? #StupidDecisionsByKerry!#—

After all the whining & spinning about his sequester, Obama is giving Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood $250M. Hard to believe.—
Terri Whitter (@TerriWhitter) March 04, 2013

Sadly, it is all too believable and not really surprising. Elections, they have consequences.
