How much money has Bush donated to tsunami victims?

He's calling on every American to donate, but I haven't heard whether he has pledged any of his personal fortune.

What about Poppy? Any of his personal billions going over there? Jeb, how about him...and Neil especially since he has made great use of Thailand's natural resources...

Sandra Bullock donated a million, and Bill Gates somewhere in that area too, so have the Bushies coughed up any of their personal dough?

2. each and every what?

each and every dollar?

They REALLY need to lead by example, in my view.

Maybe Jenna and Barbara can sell nudie pics on the internet to raise funds, or give up their Jack Daniels money for a few weekends, or donate their "bail-in-a-pinch" fund.

4. "give up their Jack Daniels money "

It's a hell of a lot easier to say that you said a prayer, and cheaper too. It was probably a "silent prayer" - 30 sec max.

3. Scotty said Bush is waiting to determine the amount to donate

I say Bush is waiting for the press to die down and the question just to go away.

5. like he waited four days to bother to respond to this.

"well,it ain't going away, guess I'm a gonna have to say something"..

Wow, is this EVER lose/lose proposition for him.

If he donates a little, his personal worth will be broadcast on the news and he will be judged as a cheapskate.

If he donates a lot, all his redneck constituents will be shocked into the realization of just what a rich spoiled blue-blood punk he is.

8. Bush is in a pickle, having said its the PEOPLE who are the real givers

now has to show its true. The dude's rich, has a guaranteed pension for life with health care benefits. But on the other hand, he really feels that he deserves it more than anyone. What to do.
