Spitting in the face of the American taxpayers: Obama gives $400,000 to Gaddafi’s “charity”

If you made up this story and stuck it in a movie, no one would believe it.. The Obama Administration plans to give $400,000 in funding to a Libyan charity run by the Gadhafi family, and U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) wants the grant withdrawn.

Sure, he's nuttier than a friggin' fruitcake, but now he's also the recipient of 400,000 of your tax dollars

If you made up this story and stuck it in a movie, no one would believe it. It’s incomprehensible. Just plain incomprehensible.

CBS2 Chicago reports:

The Obama Administration plans to give $400,000 in funding to a Libyan charity run by the Gadhafi family, and U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) wants the grant withdrawn.

The money would be divided between two foundations run by the family of Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi. A $200,000 share is set to go to the Gadhafi Development Foundation, which is run by Gadhafi’s son, Saif, and another $200,000 are to go to Wa Attassimou, an organization run by Muammar Gadhafi’s daughter, Aisha.

Kirk says the grants should be withdrawn in light of the recent return to Libya of Pan Am Flight 103 bomber Abdel Baset Megrahi. The terminally ill prisoner was released from in Scotland on compassionate grounds, and got a hero’s welcome from Muammar Gadhafi and other Libyans upon his return.

Saif Gadhafi was involved in negotiating for Megrahi’s release, and accompanied him back to Libya.

Give money to Mother Teresa. Give money to the SPCA. Give money to that damn Jerry Lewis Telethon. But who in their right mind would give money to a “charity” run by an insane terrorist dictator who runs a country that sits atop a giant pool of oil?

Barack Obama. That’s who.
