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.

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.''

Great he is "donating" money that he legally cannot accept anyway.
If he accepted it and kept it he would be in direct violation of Federal
law.

Sort of hard to call it "Charity". More like MAJOR spin control..

Do you really know what you're talking about, Steve, or are you blowing
smoke? I just read the Constitutional provision and the federal statute to
be sure, and it sounds to me like you didn't read the White House press
announcement and what it means in context of the law.

In other words, *you're* the one doing the spinning.
