Our good friend Mr Grey Ghost noted that President Barack Obama donated the $1.4 million he received for the Nobel Peace Prize to several charities:
No, Barry did not deserve to win a Nobel Peace Prize for basically doing nothing besides not being George W. Bush. He knows it. Every non-liberal, non Obama stan in the world knows it. But at least Barry had the fortitude to do the right thing with the prize money, spreading out the loot to a plethora of organizations that could use really it. Barry did good here.
The Los Angeles Times, GG’s source, noted that the charities to which Mr Obama donated are “an almost perfectly balanced list of PC beneficiaries,” but no one can complain that he did give the money to charity.
Good for BO. At least something useful came of this.
From my understanding, a sitting president cannot accept and keep such an award, so he has to give it away. Now, Fisher House is one of the charities that received some of the money, so that’s a good thing.
$125,000 to the Posse Foundation: The Posse Foundation is a national non-profit organization that identifies public high school students with extraordinary academic and leadership potential who may be overlooked by traditional college selection processes. Posse’s college and university partners award Posse Scholars four-year, full-tuition leadership scholarships. The scholars graduate at a rate of 90 percent.
Seeing how Baltimore Schools do not work, there is always this gem in the junk that needs rescuing.
