WOW!!!! Look at that Dems. What a generous gesture of support to help the worlds most needy.

Can`t imagine this kind of generousity under an bama administration.

ChimpsAhead,

Bush asked for $30B. A Democratic Congress gave him $48B. It might be that a Republican Congress would not give Obama such a generous sum, but I don't see why, if it did, Obama would not sign it.

While the aid agency "Save the Children" has permanent offices in Kentucky, West Virginia and one of the Carolina's to feed American children, provide school lunches and stationary, because their working poor parents can't provide for them. Land of the fee and home of the knave!

While all this is great, that money could have been used for people inside the US. What if the shoe was on the other foot?

skipthesong- I the shoe was on the other foot, we wouldnt get anything, im sure. However, we act upon a higher lever of compassion and charity than the rest of the world.

Bush shows his diplomatic skills again, by showing kindness to the worlds poorest. Statesman of his generation.

I think the US is giving a good-will measure. But will wait to see how many results those donations will produce. Same as any others nations.

Zen Builder; Heck!! Of course it goodwill, it also shows the world the kindness of the US.

Who is going to show such generosity. Obama`s new socialist friends? Sorry, i forgot , they are too poor, run down by left wing policies, while the US becomes richer every year.
