Laura Bush & Hillary Clinton
Surprise ,last night on Fox news there was Laura Bush chatting to the news anchor about Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Initiative ..guess what money for Africa ..cook Stoves , their carbon foot print and our tax dollars giving them new cook stoves ...some ones getting pretty rich out of this ...I was'nt surprised that Clinton was in on it but I was surprised at Laura Bush ...We are in a terrible financial state and there was the ex first lady chatting about joiinng Clinton to' help' Africa with their carbon foot print...excuse me ..our money , Balloney ,we dont have it folks .. .... .
You must be kidding. No politician is going to use their own money while they can raid the public's cupboard.
I must have missed that part of the interview. I was cleaning the kitchen when it was on. I can't stay on my feet sometimes for very long so I caught bits and pieces.
No more international or corporate welfare. House and feed our own first and shut down that dam* border! We cannot afford them either. Now, if we could just get Washington to shut down for a while, maybe we could start digging out of this. They just keep putting us in deeper. It's easy to be charitable with other people's money. Not so much with your own.

What shocked me was that laura Bush sat there talking away about Africa cooking stoves and their needs when America is having the wrose time with a lot on the poverty line and this ex first lady was spouting away about helping Africa with a left wing radical like Hillary Clinton Sorry not good enough, shes pretty well off but the rest of us are not ...let her send her own money along with OBama's and Clintons $Millions to help Africa .... .
Rant??hah maybe I misunderstand it doesnt spound like a rant to me its the truth, we havent any money to help Africa...
Good Rant! I like it!
Very typical of left wing liberal tactics. Even some republicans are leaning left on these humanitarian efforts. The simple fact of the matter is, we have many problems within our own borders that we arent resolving, and we are trying to save the rest of the world. Unfortuantely it is at the expense of America.
In my personal opinion, funding for anything outside our borders ought to be cut off or to a bear minimum. Trade policies need a major overhaul. Somethings horribly wrong when you are importing more than youre exporting.
On another thread yesterday, a guy claimed that during WWII we basically made everything we needed. There is a lot of truth to that. There were also trade treaties that were signed around then that benefitted all parties involved. These days, a vast amount of those treaties have turned into a foreign welfare program. They arent working as they were meant to, and in return cost us too much for no return. These treaties need to be written off. We dont need to keep up with treaties that arent benefitting everyone, especially at the cost of our country!
Sure, I hate to hear about women and children dying in Africa because of smoke inhalation and poor ccoking habits. But we have Americans dying in this country. We have veterans who desperately need help. Our schools suck for the most part. We are losing production jobs to overseas companies. We are 70% dependant on foreign oil...not necessarily from consumption, but because of bad trade treaties. (We are the worlds 2nd or 3rd largest producer of crude oil, and near the top of exportation of crude....then in return we are the worlds largest importer of crude oil....anyone else catch the bad math equation there??? This information was pulled from the CIA website. www.cia.com or .org) On 60 minutes years ago, a Saudi oil Prince said our policies were antiquated. He mentioned that we export oil to developing countries, and its assumed that those countries are exporting the same oiil back to us at a higher cost. I dont know the validity of that statement, but if its true, that is exactly the kind of thing that needs to changed.
Ah....done ranting.

thing is we dont have money to send to all these countries by the way Gore is part of it also ..Charity begins at home Mrs Bush and Mrs Clinton did you never hear that we are on the poverty level now .. ..2 billion to mexico ,2 billion to Brazil to do deep ocean oil .drilling when we have a moritorium here .I consider Laura bush is part of this and I expect so is her husband .no classiness there ... lol just my opinion ...
I read that and saw Mrs. Bush on Greta. She is such a classy lady.
We don't have the money for cook stoves for anyone. I read the reason was that women and children were dying because of smoke inhalation due to open fires in the house. They've been doing this for centuries. If they haven't figured out it yet, that this is a deadly practice, do you really believe that $50 million in stoves will help?
I didn't see a list of countries. I'd be very interested in seeing that. Money going to Africa has a way of not getting to the people for whom it's intended. Corruption is abundant and I bet somehow this is going to be the same case.
