Any ideas on where all that money went?
All of Bush's spending was passed by Congress. Which probably explains why the approval rating of Congress is lower than Bush's.

....While most of us are donating money to help out storm victims... I guess Obama's campaign does need a boost though.

Please. Let the woman speak without the aid of a teleprompter first.

What the heck are you Americans going to do if McCain is elected, then kicks the bucket? You will have Sarah Palin as president....I can't think of a worse choice.

Ask New Yorkers who lived there during 911. And ask Nancy Pelosi your Congress leader (D)

The good thing is that you can go to Obama's website and do both, since he has a link on his website to relief organizations associated with the states affected by Gustav. No such link exists on John McCain's website.

Good job.

i'll match your pledge of $350 I promise. I'm not crazy about they guy but he's light years ahead of the alternative. They sent me a fund raising letter just a couple of days ago that I haven't opened.

I can. I'd rather have a conservative (Palin) than a liberal (Obama) for President.

I have been getting e-mails daily from the Republican Party, listing ways that we can help out and links for donating money. The websites were also posted on the backdrop at the RNC and on flyers passed around at the convention.

It did not come here. You do not remember all the stories about the money going to west bumblef*ck, not not the likely targets of an attack?

The Dem had congress for 2 years (and not that I approve of the job they are doing) but the hell did the Repubs do for the 1st 6 years of this decade?
