LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will ask Congress shortly to back rapid release of $448 million in aid for poorer countries including some in Africa and Latin America, he said on Thursday.
"In the coming days, I intend to work with Congress to provide $448 million in immediate assistance to vulnerable populations from Africa to Latin America and to double support for food safety to over $1 billion so that we are giving people the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty," he said.
Obama spoke at a news conference after a G20 meeting on the global economic crisis that brought together leaders from the world's largest developed and developing economies.

IMHO.... Charity begins a home.

Pretty good. We're giving them the tools to "lift themselves out of poverty" while we spend ourselves into third world status.

Oh, the irony. @)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's pledge to boost IMF resources to help other crisis-hit economies could prove a tough sell for a Congress suffering from bailout fatigue and worried about mounting U.S. debt.
Obama joined other leaders of the G20 countries in London this week promising to triple funding for the International Monetary Fund as part of a package of actions to combat the global economic crisis.
The new funds are aimed mainly at struggling poorer countries, notably in eastern Europe.
"The IMF has to play a big role," Representative Gregory Meeks, a Democrat who heads the House Financial Services subcommittee on international monetary policy and trade, said in an interview with Reuters.
His panel is scheduled to hold a hearing later this month on the G20 meeting and the IMF request.
The IMF could receive up to $500 billion in new funds, of which $40 billion would come from China. The United States, Japan and the European Union would each contribute $100 billion with the rest coming from other countries.
Congress would have to authorize and appropriate its $100 billion share.

See I told you, there is no end. ^<<^

LOL at how Glenn Beck has suddenly become a quasi-guru to so many people.

Imagine his angst if McCain had been elected. He would have needed to dream up an almost entirely different set of BoogeyMen to keep his viewers enthralled.
