Bush donates 10K to relief effort..PATHETIC

Recommended Posts

Quote

Shrub ran for reelection with character as an issue. His charitable donations are the business of evry voter, for or against him.



Bullshit what he gives is none of your business.

51% of the voters think he was the better man.
Get over it.

The Whitehouse announced Shrub's donations to the media. That makes it the business of everyone in the world with access to American media.



I bet he did it to shut up people like you that claim the US was not doing enough, and that he was not doing enough.

Still the amount he gave or if it was enough is not your call.

Move on.

I never said one way ot the other if his donation was enough, in my opinion, which you would know if you read my posts on the thread before you replied to them. You like to assume that you know exactly what I think about any given issue, but the fact is you don't know anything about me, let alone why I believe the way I do on certain issues. So, please wait for me to tell you what my position is before you tell me why my position is wrong.

God looks more favorably on the person who sneaks into church to give 50 cents than the person who donated thousands and wants his name listed in the Bulliten.

.



Well, unlike you, I don't know what God thinks.

I do know what Saints Mark and Luke wrote about Jesus's sayings. The favored one was the one that GAVE ALL, not the one that was sneaky or the one that announced what they were giving.

Exactly. Thanks Ron, that is one of the points i have been trying to make. Way to many reports of donations being made and not one mention of our dear president, how could he allow that to happen?

His insincere bare minimum donation was politically motivated, to appease the masses.

It was made PUBLIC to shut up people like you. Big difference.

Your opinon on the size not being enough and why he did it.

Did you give as much as he did in either dollars or % of yearly income?

I thought I had already answered that question. No, I did not. I depend on my yearly income more than he does. Perhaps if I had free room and board, free travel, and the many other free services he receives I could have. As a matter of fact, if I had millions of dollars and the entire american public looking to me to lead them I would be embarrased by making only a 10K donation.

I wonder how many more ways we can beat this horse?;)

Well, maybe you should have given more if you feel so strong about it.

I did not give as much in total dollars of %. I also say it's none of your business. (see no excuses)

Fact of the matter is Bush is a lying deceitful manipulative piss poor businessman who has no business leading the most powerful country on this planet.

If it wasnt for a miscount of votes in the 2000 election and for the fact that the american public opted not to bring in a new president in the 04 election due to the Iraq mess we wouldnt even be having this discussion.

Michael Moore could do a better job and would have probably made a larger donation.

Ok, I am done now:)

You still claiming that? Recount after recount proved him the winner and the rest whiners.

He still is the President.

Move on.

How much did Moore give? I mean he made more than Bush last year. What about Kerry? He is worth more and made more than Bush.

(Actually if Kerry planned on running again a large donation would help him tons....I don't think he is running again which is why he has not given anything publicly IMO)

Fact of the matter is



I don't think so. Your personal, subjective and biased viewpoints on someone else's moral character does not make your statement into a hard FACT.

I was LMAO, though, at your last post. Finally, you said what you've been wanting to say! :D:D:D

Sadly, that only makes your initial post and argument look worse and worse.

I'm glad that you feel better, though. :ph34r:

I think he just did.



or did I.........;)

I would just like to add one final comment...Bushs donation was generous. All you guys are correct, he did not have to donate anything. I just thought when he did do it, if he was gonna do it, it would be more. I hope all of the 10K he gave makes it to those who need it...(but that is a totally different discussion;))

This reminds me of why my donations are between me and the IRS B|

A couple people have told me they think it's foolish to wear a LiveStrong band on my arm because they only cost a dollar, and "advertising that you donated a dollar" is dumb. I usually respond by saying, "well actually, someone gave this to me, so I could very well have not given anything!" :)

That's a novel way to say he was reelected: 'the people opted not to replace him.'

If you thought he was a pisspoor ....., 2008 must terrify you. Maybe we could pass the Arnold Amendment without thinking about it so we could get some more pleasing contenders.
