TheAnvil 0 #1 January 3, 2005 Clicky Hopefully they do some good together. Clinton and Bush together should be able to open some serious doors to some serious $$ to help those folks out.

ChasingBlueSky 0 #2 January 3, 2005 Were the two ex-presidents there? I listened to the press conference and it was just GW reading a prepared script and then he took off - no questions and no comments from anyone else. I wonder why Carter wasn't involved?_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

It's great that we have two prominent names and faces to help raise funds, but it was Carter's connections to Habitat that made it seem logical to me that he should be involved. Who knows, maybe he was asked and turned it down._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

TheAnvil 0 #5 January 3, 2005 I don't think Carter was involved for several reasons, the most prominent one being political balance. He probably wouldn't be able to produce even 1/10 the $$$ either of the other two could. Since he's heavily into Habitat for Humanity he's doing a lot of good there already.

mikkey 0 #6 January 3, 2005 Yes very good initiative. The best GW actually did was taking the initiative to establish the international coordination group that includes Japan, Australia and others in the region. Coordination of the relief effort is very important. Worst thing that can happen is uncoordinated efforts and relief stranded at airports etc.--------------------------------------------------------- When people look like ants - pull.
