How Christian is George W. Bush? Evidently not very. Only $15m for tsunami
How Christian is George W. Bush? Evidently not very. In one of the largest natural disasters in recent years, the Bush administration response of $15 million is the equivalent of what George Bush spends in Iraq in TWO HOURS.

2. And with his direct link to God, this is more powerful than the $15M.

3. And $40M for his own coronation shindig.
He'll be dancing on the graves of what will likely amount to 100,000 dead; about 1/3 of those are children.

5. FEMA spent $3.1 billion
on the 2004 Florida hurricane disaster funds.

Moral of the story: Spend the money where BFEE political capital can be realized.

6. Not to defend the shithead

but $15 million will take a while to spend when added to the aid coming from other countries. Perhaps it's better to hold back and see how much is really needed so as it isn't squandered (UN oil for food comes to mind). We can always give more as it becomes necessary.

7. Christianity doesn't have a
dollar amount, anyway, HIS christianity would be comparative to the amount he gives personally. The amount America the country gives has nothing to do with his christianity. Quit trying to equate his christianity to the US government.

I say donate directly to some of the orgs on the homepage. If everyone gives $5, that's a helluva lotta money.

11. The BIG bucks only go to help countries with exploitable markets
and resources.

Just one more way Lancelot Link is making the U.S. look like callous idiots.

12. The real horror is the money being spent on the inaugural balls
while we're at war. Immoral doesn't begin to describe it.
