Bush Mum on Request to Skip a Meal Thursday

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 16 (OneWorld) - A leading anti-poverty organization is urging U.S. President George W. Bush to skip a meal today as a symbol of his resolve to fight hunger worldwide.

"The holiday season is traditionally a time when a lot of attention is paid to these issues," Oxfam's Kim Delaney told OneWorld. "It's a time when Americans think about their families and others who don't have as much. "

More than 13,000 people have sent letters or e-mails asking the president to join them in skipping a meal to show his solidarity with the more than 850 million people who are hungry around the world, according to the international group whose U.S. headquarters are in Boston.

Delaney told OneWorld the White House has not responded to Oxfam's request. President Bush is currently in Vietnam attending a summit of Asian-Pacific leaders. His office said no one was available to comment for this story.

1. Due to the fact that my food security is perpetually very low...

I am forced to miss a meal every single day.

2. What? And give up my white Wonder Bread with Kraft cheese slices?

Never! Aren't you going to ask me about the pig?

[whistle]

3. Neither of those items are real food and if you use Miracle Whip as the spread

...that pretty much means you have indeed skipped a meal

5. I can't blame him...

Have any of you had any Vietnamese food? I wouldn't be skipping any meals there either!

4. No one remembers this but Bush promised

to give up sweets for the duration of the war.

Did he keep his promise? LOL.

6. He kept his promise. He put down the peppermint schnapps and

only drinks Jim Beam now.

Why do you hate Drunkie World Leaders?
