Jim,,
Ok I understand you are liberaltrash so I will try to explain this to you
very slowly. Clinton has not donated anything. His foundation pledged
$10mm. A major share of that pledge is drug companies agreeing to sell
drugs substantially below US market prices. In the drug business, the first
pill cost millions, every pill after the first one costs pennies. It is
excellent that the Clinton foundation put together this program, but Clinton
did not give $10mm to anyone.

Don't blame me because you read what you want to, and avoid the truth. (I
think it's a republican/conservative trait)
I gave sources for everything I posted -- you even (mis)used some.
I would REALLY like to see contributions as a % of net worth for both
families.
No, it's me wrote:
Jim,,
I must have missed where you discussed 2005 pledges. I thought you said
" Total gifts from the foundations maybe 1.3 million"
I erred, I thought the contributions were from 2005 -- turns out Lauras
was 2004 so the 2005 number would be even less.
I must have missed where the Clinton Foundation discussed 2005
contributions. I saw a PR piece that discussed the Clinton pledges, but
did not see anything about Clinton's total contributions in 2005 or the
total pledges from the Bush family foundations. You seem to be comparing
apples and oranges.
Maybe if you were to have read the dates on the articles/press releases
Is this a problem all of the liberaltrash have?
Major problem is neo-cons resorting to personal attacks when backed into a
corner.

Well since we're talking reading comprehension I think you missed
"Since its inception in 1989" for Mrs Bush
The numbers I quoted were 2005 pledges, as was Clintons.
I'll let Harry speak for himself.

I think you completely missed the point of my post. You are so busy cut
and pasting crap, that you forget to read and understand them.
You stated : "Total gifts from the foundations maybe 1.3 million", yet
the very first paragraph of your cut and paste was that the Barbara
Bush Foundation has given $16 MM to charity.
Your dimwitted buddy Harry stated "Interestingly, the Bush Family is
very wealthy, yet I am unaware of any substantial charitable activities
and donations of that family."
Wonder what the comparison might be if we used a percentage of net worth
for Bush family vs Clinton family?
It appears that neither you nor Harry has the ability to comprehend what
you read or to do a quick search on Google.
Is this typical of LiberalTrash or something that only effects you and
Harry?
Was it *You* who invented the term Liberaltrash? -- I posted quotes and
sources. If this be trash, I prefer it to Conservative BS

Well -- since you want to compare Note the last paragraph. And I
believe Mrs Bush is a LOT wealthier, and somewhat older than Mr Clinton
Facts about the Clinton Foundation
“Since leaving office in January 2001, the former president has sought
to use his clout, connections and charisma to be a catalyst in building
and supporting nonprofit institutions that tackle some of the world’s
most daunting problems and encourage everyday citizens, especially
young people, to serve their communities.”
-- The Chronicle of Philanthropy
* The William J. Clinton Foundation is a charitable organization
established by President Clinton to construct the Clinton President
Center and to pursue four missions:
Health Security
Economic Empowerment
Leadership Development and Citizen Service
Racial, Ethnic and Religious Reconciliation
* The Clinton Foundation has promoted economic empowerment primarily
through the Clinton Foundation Small Business Initiative, which brings
business and consulting experts together with small business owners to
help them succeed. More than 44,000 volunteer hours (valued at over $8
million) were spent during the pilot program in Harlem. In 2004, the
program was expanded to Brooklyn and the Bronx.
* The Clinton Foundation has also helped empower poor people by
partnering with organizations like the Robin Hood Foundation to
educate people about the Earned Income Tax Credit; Save the Music to
promote music education in public schools; Operation Hope to encourage
financial literacy among young people; Ember Media to creative
interactive guides to college and financial aid for Hispanic and
African American students; the Princeton Review to help underserved
students improve their scores on standardized tests; and Hernando de
Soto’s Foundation for Building the Capital of the Poor in Ghana.
* President Clinton encourages reconciliation of people along
racial, religious and ethnic lines, saying that we need to build a
global community of “shared responsibilities, shared benefits and
shared values.”
* The president helped launch the William J. Clinton International
Peace Centre in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, which functions as a
venue for peace and public service programs.
* President Clinton serves as honorary co-chair of the Club of
Madrid, which is comprised of former heads of state that promote
democratization; and he chairs the board of the Global Fairness
Initiative, which seeks a more equitable and sustainable approach to
globalization.
* Citizen service was a hallmark of the Clinton Administration, and
remains an important part of the Clinton Foundation’s work. The
Clinton Foundation has worked closely with City Year, a global service
organization. Together, they have supported the Clinton Democracy
Fellowship program, which brings young people from South Africa to
America each year to study national service.
* The Clinton School of Public Service at the University of
Arkansas, located on the grounds of the Clinton Presidential Center in
Little Rock, is the first graduate school in the nation wholly
dedicated to public service education. President Clinton will play a
key role in helping attract lecturers and scholars in residence for
the new school.
“Former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s foundation, which launched its
HIV/AIDS Initiative little more than 18 months ago, has quickly become
a major force in fighting the pandemic.”
-- The Wall Street Journal
* The Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI) helped reduce
the price of medicine and tests for people with AIDS in the developing
world by 50 to 70 percent, making it possible to bring life-sustaining
assistance to many more people at much reduced costs. CHAI has
partnered with a number of countries in Africa, the Caribbean, Asia
and the former Soviet Union to help them scale up care and treatment
programs for people with AIDS, and is working with the World Health
Organization, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria,
UNAIDS, the UN World Food Programme and a number of care partners to
ensure that more of the millions of people with AIDS who need medicine
and other forms of care and treatment can receive it.
* President Clinton has also helped other charitable organizations
raise hundreds of millions of dollars for their work. Recently,
Presidents Clinton and Bush joined together to raise money for the
tsunami relief effort. The Clinton Foundation is also a partner with
UNICEF to raise funds for the tsunami relief. Other partnerships
include: the Families of Freedom scholarship fund. He and Bob Dole
teamed up to help raise more than $100 million to provide educational
assistance to the families of the victims of September 11. The
president also encouraged the establishment of the American India
Foundation, which is dedicated to accelerating social and economic
change in India, and has provided substantial relief to communities
devastated by an earthquake in Gujarat

children in China and nine other countries, expanding a programme
already underway in Thailand and Brazil.

Interestingly, the Bush Family is very wealthy, yet I am unaware of
any substantial charitable activities and donations of that family.
