Hmmm, Bubba's accepting Saudi money for charity is making him rich? How? Bush's Saudi money has lined his and his political buddies pockets for years -- not charities, their personal bank accounts.

What you're saying is multimillions of dollars going to charities is bad because Bubba is the sponser of said charities and multimillions of dollars going into the pockets of Republicans is good?

Gotcha, .

Maybe The Shrub should just be registered as a charitable cause?


He's certainly needy in the ability/competency/intelligence department

[quote=sanrene;6623328]So...pictures of Bush and the royals are much, much worse than tens of millions of dollars in "donations" to a former president who has been reluctant to make public these "relationships" and connections?

Only the deluded, crazed Leftists can make that argument.

For years and years we have been bombarded with the rantings and ravings of the Left regarding the "supposedly" payoff to Bush by the Saudis. Now we have actual evidence that Bubba is the one who has been rewarded by the Saudi's for who knows what favors while he was in office.

And all we get from the lefties are pictures of Bush/Saudi's and a small (in comparison) donation to his library.
------------
The left "debates" you by saying "oy vey" "please" "everyone knows" and silly pictures

Saudi money went into the pockets of the Bush's and their political associates (see post 22). Saudi donations 'to' Bubba went here
Bill Clinton's Charity Work

It is clear which president profited from his relationship with those evil regimes.
Personal profit as in investments and self wealth increase or profited from as in being able to promote aids research/treatment and feeding starving children around the world?

So, now we know; The party and the person(s) who have profited from those evil Saudis is not who the Left has been frothing at the mouth about, but is actually dear old Bubba and his wife.

I wonder if this will derail her SoS nomination. You can bet your bottom dollar, the committee will be looking into all this foreign, evil money.
A couple of years ago I read a book by Greg Palast called "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy". You want to talk about who really is in bed with the Saudi's? Read the book until your eyes bleed.

Here's a little something from his site.

WHO has been in the pocket of the Saudi's?

Oh come on now!!! All politicians are in the pocket of them. The whole damn country is. Our government has sold us down the river a very long time ago.

The reqal question is why the Saudi's are giving the money to Clinton's foundation. It will be brought to more light of day in Hillary's confirmation.
