[pbartch]

Is that ALL the President gave?? I am not impressed.

1. Wow, Daddy musta really spanked him hard!

Bout effin time!

[tuvor]

2. Really, it's no one's business.

Especially if (haha) he's going to be Christian about it.

Matthew 6: 1 - 4

1 "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. 2 "Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

3. Do you think that anyone who visits this board gave more?

[Zookeeper]

5. Well....

if I had Chimpy's assets, I would give more.

[pbartch]

10. I had BUSH'S money......I would give 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS

I am poor. I can't do more than $25.00

4. Sandra Bullock gives a million, and he gives ten k. Amazing.

Pretty sure the bush family are billionaires by now, what with all the war profiteering and racketeering and fraud. And all.

7. Michael Schumacher donated $10 Million....

Top bloke! :toast:

11. I had to google him. World's Best and Fastest Racing Driver!

Good guy! :toast:

[Salomonity]

12. not even close

The Bush family put together hasn't got close to a billion dollars. They've been in public life, their tax records are public.

Bush's presidential salary is a few hundred thousand dollars, as I understand, so this is a noticible chunk of his yearly income. Don't disdain charity, no matter what the source.

20. LOL! Good one.

A little dry though, you might want to include a /joke tag.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

6. I'd say this is proof he didn't need the tax cut he gave himself

and the rest of corporate America. In fact it is proof he should raise taxes on the rich.

[Inland]

8. Not at all! This is a small fraction of this years' tax bonanza for Bush

he saved more like thirty grand this year. And he'll have another thirty grand to not give to a charity next year.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

14. Like I said..... (eom)

[seeking-the-truth]

15. unbelievable

I can't believe you are using THIS as a way to bash B*!

There are PLENTY of things to give him grief about:

Imperialistic policies

Terrible foreign Policy

Unilateral, disastrous decisions

certain nominees

But to use a man's donation to a good cause in order to bash him is PATHETIC. You actually want him to raise taxes s people will give less money DIRECTLY to charity? THat's what your post makes it sound like.

For God's sake, let's stay on target and make real changes...this line of attack will only bring scorn on US!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

18. I don't really believe you are seeking the truth

it's proof the guy has a lot of cash to throw around.

[sunnystarr]

9. He pledged 350 Million but surprise

he doesn't seem to keep his pledges. He's pledged billions and sent maybe a million. I remember hearing how he pledged all this money for AIDS to Africa ... they have yet to see a dime.

[mod mom]

13. CHUMP change from # 1 CHUMP!

[El Vengedor]

16. With all due respect, people...

It's nobody's business what Bush or anyone else gave.

Have some class.

[Karenca]

17. no,, it is our business...

he is OUR public servant.


And soon I hope to see him cleaning toilets working in prison.

[illflem]

19. Think you could trust him with that much responsibility?

[Carolab]

21. What a joke

$10K BFD

[planetc]

22. That was sweet of him. Now I want my country back. n/t

[jazzjunkysue]

23. Will he give back the $2bill he took from the Iraq rebuild account?

That's the rumor, since that's the amount that's missing....

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. cheap ass! He has millions. Stingy bastard.
