gosh a ruddies absolutely no class at all
"Former President George W. Bush charged $100,000 to speak at a charity fundraiser for U.S. military veterans severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, and former First Lady Laura Bush collected $50,000 to appear a year earlier, officials of the Texas-based Helping a Hero charity confirmed to ABC News.:


The former President was also provided with a private jet to travel to Houston at a cost of $20,000, the officials said.
But he did them a big favor by giving them a discount.

And Obama has done nothing to stop it.

Convenient that Obama has time to play golf but no time for wounded veterans.

You may want to check what the Clintons have collected in speaking fees before casting stones.

However, compared to past presidents, Obama has taken relatively few vacation days. At this point in his second term, former President George W. Bush had taken a whopping 405 vacation days. Before him, Bill Clinton took a total of 174 days for himself. Another big vacationer was Ronald Reagan, who took a total of 390 days during his time in office. In comparison, Obama has only taken 161 vacation days to date.

Obama voted for the wars therefore the blood is on his hands too. And if Obama cared so much, why not jump in instead of Bush and do it for free? When are you going to hold Obama accountable for his actions?

and that $100,000 dollars could have aided even more. He should help those crippled following his orders and not to make a profit.

Barry "you can keep your Doctor" Obama? Is he the guy who was MIA while Benghazi burned so he could get to his Vegas fundraiser? Has anyone ever found out where he was while we were under attack?

And he did nothing to change it while he was in office. Just like Obama campaigned on marriage being between a man and a woman.

like what was Bush doing when 3000 Americans died on 9/!1 or what Reagan was doing when terrorist bomber killed 241 marines in their Beirut Barracks after his administration disarmed the gate guards.

This pretty much is the only thing that matters with isadore. It's the fact that it was Bush.
