Yea, this whole giving American money to countries affected by natural disasters is a really new, groundbreaking socialist "goof" thing to do.

Christ.

I get what you mean, but it's hardly like this is a novel idea perpetrated by Obama. A $100 million price tag is small compared to some disaster relief efforts in recent years....what a goof.

it was one thing in the past to give the money. now America's in trouble and you don't have the money to give.

Coach is making the argument like you are, and I get it.

However, he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. He'd be pilloried if he got on TV and said "this is a great catastrophe...but we don't have money, so we can't aid efforts there like we always have done for other countries in the past."

I'm sure Malkin, Coulter, 86 people on this board, O'Reilly, McCain would all leap to his defense.

Just throw money at the problem. IT'LL GO AWAY!

Of course he's going to send aid. Taking a stand and doing what's best for the country isn't more important than popular opinion. Ease the sheeple with disingenuous acts of charity.

Its not that difficult for people to donate $1, $5, or $10 or $20. it adds up!

And a significant portion of it goes into the pockets of liberal hypocritical douchenozzles who leech onto a charity and have the nerve to be employed...by a god damn charity!

I guess research the charity then.

I am pretty confident that Wyclef's charity, and Samuel Dalembert (only Haitian in the NBA) charity will be spent in good ways.

I would actually pay Wyclef to not make a song out of the tragedy.

I do agree with that, unless 100% of all the songs profit's is put to good use.

Its not right for some people to profit from something like this. And you are right about the Red Cross. Much better charities out there.
