Obama: Supporting dictators til it's no longer politically convenient

Even Congress thought this stunk too badly, and that's a high bar:
In the months before Libyans revolted and President Barack Obama told leader Moammar Gadhafi to go, the U.S. government was moving to do business with his regime on an increasing scale by quietly approving a $77 million dollar deal to deliver at least 50 refurbished armored troop carriers to the dictator's military.

Congress balked, concerned the deal would improve Libyan army mobility and questioning the Obama administration's support for the agreement...

I wonder if Obama would turn on his banker buddies as quickly as he turns on his murdering dictator buddies. Luckily the American sheeppeople aren't forcing his hand the way the Libyans did.

High five, guys...say, I've got an opening over at Treasury. Anybody interested?
