Default OT More examples of generosity from President Obama

On Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:26:14 -0600, the infamous Ignoramus22050
scrawled the following:

Those who accused President Barack Obama of soliticing donations
towards Haiti, but only contributing next to nothing, are now proven
wrong.

``WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama has announced which
groups will get the $1.4 million he received for winning the Nobel
Peace Prize.


All I can say is "What? They let him keep it?"


Obama said Thursday that $250,000 will go to Fisher House, a national
nonprofit that houses families whose loved ones are receiving care at
Veterans Administration medical centers. He will give another $200,000
to the Bush-Clinton Haiti Fund to help the country recover from the
earthquake.

The balance will go to an array of other groups including education
foundations, scholarship funds and regional development groups in
Africa and Central Asia.''


This is all good, tho.
