Cheap Chimp donated $100,000 to Pakistan for us! Shame!!

I heard on MSNBC this morning that the Cheap Chimp donated $100,000 for relief to Pakistan.

He also said that we would give more "if they asked for it."


We are NO LONGER the leader of the free world.

Bush acts like somebody that is pinching pennies and on welfare.

The world can see that we are NOT the leader of the free world.
We are a NEED HELP nation.


GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW!
BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!:puke:

1. We also donated a paltry amount after the tsunami, too, didn't we?
I mean as a government, not as individual Americans. I hope the world can recognize the difference between bush the despot and the typical American. I really really hope so.

3. Yep
Until the citizens and the media embarrassed them into pledging more. I wonder how much the Bush Administration ever actually gave to tsunami relief?

6. To those who much is given, much is expected



This is not the Cheap Chimp's. belief.

My grandmother would have spanked me for not giving to others in need.

He was raised by "beautiful mind" Babs and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

4. As wonderful as the world was to us during Katrina

the world can see that he is greedy.

They know that he has spent all of our money giving to his Brownie Pals and trying to catch "OBL" in Iraq.

They must be laughing at him and. sad to say, laughing at us by now.

5. Well we can sure spend it to kill
people or put it in the pockets of already wealthy companies but as far as helping others we are done. This goes beyond embarrassing, it makes me so angry. I WANT these people out of my government YESTERDAY!

44. He spent far too much for his Poppy's War


Why don't they spend their family fortune if the war is so damn important!

I bet if they had to pay for one boot for one precious soldier they would go to Payless.

7. chimp doesn't have any
more money..he's cut the taxes for his corporate rich donors and used all the money for throwing down the bomb hole in Iraq.

The country's programs for people are being gutted and cut so they can give more money to the corporations and the endless money pitt Iraq.

Our tax dollars at work.

10. I couldn't believe that when I heard it this AM
Indonesia offered the same amount- exceedingly generous from them, exceedingly stingy from US. International Red Cross could probably use our personal help now people- if everyone isn't tapped from Katrina. International Red Cross is still reputable, right? I found all the threads about American Red Cross after Katrina to be profoundly depressing.

11. That's all? How embarassing.
Pakistan is also one of our allies and they donated $1 million dollars to us after Katrina! It HAS to be more.... surely we cannot do otherwise.

Shame, shame, shame.

18. That's it! The reporter was smart enough


to read off the others that donated so far.
I just remember that China was in the millions.


That alone tells the world that China has more $$'s to give than we do.


Didn't the Congress just give him $$$$ Billion for the illegal war?=

Wasn't he embarrassed enough by donating chump change after the tsunami? What's it going to take to make this man ashamed? (The imagination boggles....)

to Katrina or Pakistan.

He has that nasty Mafia Don of a father pimp for Katrina with Clinton.

But I have not heard of the NeoCono Family giving one red cent.

He's stupid, but unfortunately not suicidal. Though starting out with 100k was pretty dumb, considering it was certain to be like the hurricanes--the more early silence, the worse things are going to be in the affected area.
