1. I once new a kid
whose parents covered him with cream and chocolate flakes every Sunday and stuck a cherry on top of his head too. That was so he'd understand what its like living in a gateau.

5. Whatever, Hillary bashing threads are out of style
And it is Obama who is in charge and responsible for the aid money, unless you think Hillary orders him around.

7. Blame those involved and stop it with the stupid
pork chop/dog references. That is an old smear from the other side.

http://www.newsweek.com/2010/07/19/in-islamabad-clinton-unveils-500-million-aid-package-to-pakistan.html

In a bid to shore up flagging relations with a key ally, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced more than $500 million in aid projects to Pakistan at a meeting Monday in Islamabad. The projects, meant to bolster Pakistan's infrastructure through agricultural improvements and construction of health facilities and dams, will be funded through the Enhanced Partnership With Pakistan Act (also known as the Kerry-Lugar-Berman bill) that President Obama signed into law last October. The act allots $1.5 billion in nonmilitary aid to Pakistan annually. Clinton's visit with Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was part of a two-day swing through Islamabad and marks the second ministerial-level session of the U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue, aimed at improving ties and building support for America's fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in the region.

10. No in my world
Congress appropriates money and the President signs it into law, The Secretary of State follows the law and announces the funds in public. So your lie will not stay long.

9. it has been more than 2 years
Since Hillary dropped out of the race and endorsed President Obama. Don't you think it is time to finally, once and for all, get over the primaries?

She did NOT make any offer without the permission of and at the direction of the president.
