^I hope you are being sarcastic.

But Melvs it really bothers me how you and some people on this site will find ANYTHING to bitch about the president. Lets see how many People who are 30 times richer didn't donate shit. Seriously, grow up and come up with someone new to complain about. This doesn't even effect you, and he donated more than most people so what's the problem?

bush IS a multi millionaire. he made his fourtune running oil companies.
I donated a approx. 1/300 dollars I have. not a lot, but I did donate some. It's more of a percentage of my total net worth then bush donated.

my problem is him. he's going to be a problem for the next 4 years as well. I'm going to bitch about him until he stops his bible thumping, minority bashing, economically hurtful ways.

I'm happy he donated money. Yay for him. but it was so little of his entire net worth that it's nothing more then a PR stunt. look at some of the the other celebrities. some random no name actress alone donated 1 million. a race car driver donated 10 million. If I had a list of rich people who'd donated, I'd post it.

Those are 2 people though. Be Greatful he donated anything, because it is just that, a donation. It's not required, no one made him do it.

And to be honest How has your life changed for the worst in the last 4 years other than results of 9/11, Which alot of people try to blame on G. Bush. All those little statistical lists about how he sat in on the biggest economic crash ever recorded in the U.S. well sorry but those were all in the months following 9/11, and since then the country has recovered greatly.

I'm pretty sure presidents make 200k a year, but have no living costs and a pretty big entertainment budget n shit like that. Regardless of how much he makes it more than any of you suckasses will donate so stop biting on him. There is a shitload of millionare/billionares not only in America but around the world who won't give up a dime.

Kinda sad that a poor, random college student can come up with 1/20th of the total donation of the most powerful man on Earth. And as a percentage of our respective net worths... wow.

Since when is this Americas problem? People are acting like this is americas responsibility. It's not our fault. Even if we donated one dollar it's more than we are obligated to.

be grateful he donated anything? HES THE FUCKING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. we should expect him to donate. And the bush family is one of the richest family's in american. 10k to them is like $10 to us. And not every celebrity/professional atheltes informs the news when they give to charity. im sure the majority of celebrities and pro athletes donated a big chunk of change.

Yes Melvs Bush and his 'minority bashing' has only created the most Administration in the history of our Nation. Powell, Rice, Gozales, Guitterez to name a few.

I don't the implication was that he bashed minorities indiscriminately (pun intended), but rather that he targets certain specific ones. Er, one.

The President of the United States makes 400,000 a year. He just gave everyone in the Government a raise with the exception of himself.

Also it is possible that Bush has donated more than 10,000 that amount just may be the only amount made public. He can keep all of his donations private if he chooses to do so.

If Bush found the cure to cancer I swear to god some of you would still bash him and say 'he didn't do it quick enough.'

Sadly this wouldn't even be an issue if it were not made public. None of you would have likely even began to ponder if he made a personal donation or not.

Name one other world leader that has donated personal money to relief efforts. In comparison to other world leaders Bush is one of the least wealthy.

haha, about the cure for cancer, damn straight thats what id say, for sure he didnt give it soon enough, definately too late for all the MILLIONS of people it killed.

and That random no name actress was Sandra bullock. Who? i dont know, must be a random no name.

good for bush, i dont give a shit. America was first on the scene to help, and they donated one billion dollars. thats twice the next highest donation, 500 million from japan.

just shut up and eat your spaghettios


so i cant spell spagettios, eat my dick.

Its not a billion yet. However it is expected to exceed that over the course of time. Plus all the aid.

I have a friend who was on a fleet headed to Iraq and they were just redirected to assist in the tsunami relief.

way to generalize there cheif. the nba players who are doing the donations are giving 1k per point that they score on friday nights games... between tmac kobe jermaine oneal and a few other no names that was expected to come to around 250K...

lets keep in mind that those three players all have contracts well in excess of 100 mil.

how much did PM martin donate? how about gerhard schroder? you know where im going with this.

now back to my speghettios.

YOU GUYS ARE FUCKIN IDIOTS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Bush organized the donation of close to a billion dollars, and then donated 10k of his own money. and you guys are complaining? you guys must not about what you say before you say it because reading it is a joke. honestly, you must be kidding. if you dont think its enough, go donate your own fuckin money. You guys are extremely shallow and ridiculously stubborn people for even considering turning the tsunami ordeal into something that you can use to bash Bush. Fuck you. You guys should have died in the tsunami. What the hell do you think the survivors are saying? You think they are telling Bush that he's a stingey bastard for donating 10k of his own money? WHO THE FUCK CARES IF HE COULD HAVE GIVEN MORE. HE GAVE MONEY, NOW SOME HOMELESS FAMILY THAT LOST 3 FAMILY MEMBERS IS GOING TO GET A NEW HOUSE. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE?

as I said, yay for bush giving money.

I still hate him.

As for bush's 'diverse' cabnit. Ha. I don't give a fuck about hsi cabnit, it's the actions he's taken that show he's against many minorities. gays and muslims for examples.

Bush is a religious zealot bent on fucking over this country as much as possible before his 8 years are up.

Don't believe me? open up yuor god damn eyes. travel, see how much the worldd hates us, and more specifically, him. See how different of news you hear about america in other countries. it's not all this FOX news bullshit, it's what's really happening.



in other news, I now hate tom delay (democrat) for his reading of a passage from teh bible during a public breakfast that basically said people died of the tsunami because they are not christains.

How is this our fucking obligation, and people should be happy we donated anything at all. It is you people who love to criticize how bad our country is, and how we are bullies, and fat asses, but then you come running DEMANDING money, help etc. think about what you say before you say it.

skiinsted I couldnt agree with you any more on this topic... none of those people deserve a cent from this country, and istead of bitching about how much money we gave them we should be praising for all the people giving their own personal money for a cause that wont have any/0/none/zip impact on our lives...

I cant believe people are comparing money spent in iraq to money spent on tragedies.Iraq is OURS, we started it, its all on us. We have a duty to rebuild iraq cause we fucked it up so bad. We dont owe countries like Sri Lanka or India anything, this is none of our buisness. We do have a kind of moral obligation and we are expected to give money, but we dont have to. Im sure the people actually suffering from this tsunami are greatly thankful for what we and other countries gave when we didnt need to.
