BENTONVILLE, Ark., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Following President Bush's announcement today that former Presidents Bush and Clinton will lead a nationwide fundraising effort to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Wal- Mart President and CEO Lee Scott contacted President Clinton and the White House and committed $15 million from Wal-Mart to jump-start the effort. Wal-Mart previously donated $2 million in cash That's great that they are giving that much. I wasn't criticizing Wal Mart. However, given the amount they are giving, don't you think the amt. the oil companies are giving is a bit niggardly? BTW earlier I said "caddy"; it should have been "catty".
