More stingy Americans and their companies giving relief to tsunami victims:

You know, in Alighieri's words, "it's just revolting" how little the Bush WH gives to charity. That paltry $350 million is just not enough. ;)

re: Wow. Notice the deafening silence on this thread since the U.S. gov't announced the $350 million in donations?

Sorry, I was playing golf.

Shamed into it. You think Bush would have "pledged" $350 million without pressure?

Let's see what he delivers. Is it the same as the AIDS "pledge"?

>Wow. Notice the deafening silence on this thread since the U.S. gov't announced the $350 million in donations? I guess the liberals are trying to think of a way to continue their stupid accusation that the U.S. is stingy. What a farce these holier-than-thou people are.

Um, it was New Year's Eve...

I think it's GREAT that we're giving that much -- it just sucks that we had to be shamed into doing so.
