This Obama. He won a $1.4 million cash bonus with his comical Nobel Peace Prize, and instead of buying all sorts of cool Blu-Rays and CDs and porno — which would be unconstitutional, but who cares about that old fishwrapper anymore? — he gives it to “the needy.” Probably just more union thugs and the Daley family and other evil Chicago things. (The “White Socks.”)
The most money — $250,000 — went to Fisher House, which provides housing for families of patients being cared for at major military and VA medical centers.
The Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, which raises money for long-term relief efforts in Haiti following that country’s devastating earthquake, received $200,000.
$125,000 went to six different charities:
– College Summit, which partners with schools with the goal of increasing college enrollment;
– The Posse Foundation, which awards scholarships to “public high school students with extraordinary academic and leadership potential who may be overlooked by traditional college selection processes”;
– The United Negro College Fund, which offers scholarship and internship programs for more than 60,000 students per year;
– The Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which awards scholarships and offers outreach support to the Hispanic community;
– The Appalachian Leadership and Education Foundation, which offers scholarships and leadership curriculum to young people from Appalachia;
– And the American Indian College Fund, which distributes scholarships to American Indian students and provides support for tribal college needs.
Two charities were awarded $100,000 each. One is AfriCare, which offers programs in Africa addressing health and HIV/AIDS, food security and agriculture, and water resource development. The other is the Central Asia Institute, which promotes education and literacy in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan with a focus on education girls.
It’s a rainbow of skintones, locking arms and skipping through the hallowed gates of University! American dreams!

I’ve never seen so many earmarks.
Hey now – my college roommate was an English major. Putzzed around for a couple of years, stumbled into a third rate law school, got a lawyer gig, sued the shit out of a couple lame corporations, instant millionaire.
Nothing to ACORN?
“The Appalachian Leadership and Education Foundation, which offers scholarships and leadership curriculum to young people from Appalachia”
Those primary votes are gone, Barack, and they ain’t coming back.
Oh, I can’t wait to see what the right wing has to say about THESE choices.
[re=529111]Gorillionaire[/re]: Don’t give Jim any ideas. He’s happy just the way he is.
Jeez, helping people get smarterer?
Fuckin Barry, don’t he know who he’s fuking leder of? US Amuricuh!!!! Freedum! Freedumb!!!
I can’t fathom how many heads would have exploded had he donated the whole shebang to the RNC. The universe would have collapsed in on itself.
$1.4 million? That’s 1.4 million tacos!
worst president ever
SECRET: Its really all for ACORN, who of course made him president and destroyed the white constitution.
I love the smell of Obama in the morning.
[re=529111]Gorillionaire[/re]: Yeah Jim … I don’t know if it is still so, but I believe a lot of lawyers had English as their undergrad major. Of course, I believe a lot of lawyers aren’t in the biz anymore either, so … What about “mathematics” … then you can tell folks that you understand differential equations. I’m not sure where that leads, though.
Cue Rush, Glenn etc. whining about how the UNCF, Haiti and HIV money show that Obama only cares about the interests of other black people, and proves he secretly hates all white folk. Of course, they’ll just ignore the donations for scholarships in the land of trailer parks, guns, meth and no teeth.
If he really wanted to help, he should have set aside some money for betting on the NCAA Tourny and used his ESPN zen-like knowledge. If he hit a few parlays, he could have really set up Haiti.
Let’s see, Blacks get college money, so do Hispanics, Whites and Indians. Where is the money for Asians, you racist.
He should have contributed to Doug Stanhope’s charity, “The Sarah Palin Abortion Fund,” which provides money to poor women who want to have abortions. (This is real!)
Some of that money could have bailed out the entire country of Greece.
Maybe they wern’t brown enough.
What about money for poop blogs?
The Aunt Lindsey Graham Charm School for the Perpetually Befuddled is going to be mightily pissed that they didn’t get their cut.
To be fair, there really isn’t a group that is needier than the Chicago White Sox. Just sayin’.
Wow — rich white assholes really are the forgotten minority. Where’s John Steinbeck when you really need him?
How many whiskeys per afternoon are ok, then ?
Kinda wish Barry would’ve donated some $$ to Orly Taitz’s campaign fund : Even 20 bucks would be enough for hilarity to ensue.
Answer me this, Barack Obama: What have these emmeffers done for you lately? Clinton and Bush, Appalachians, Hispanics, are you for real, my man? Is that second group even a real bunch of people? See, this is why you can’t give black folk anything- since they have never had shit, they don’t know how to properly deal with shit.
Reparations and new planet named for Oprah or GTFO.
And not a penny to put a new roof on the stables at the River Country Club in Leesburg. Typical.
Sigh. He’s *ever* so dreamy…
Further proof he’s a damn socialist.
Anyway Jim, what have the strains of Wagner and the smell of victory have to do with this largesse?
You forgot the getting stoned and going to Popeye’s and dropping a Benjamin on fried chicken. Duh.
Should have kept $200 of it and bought himself a good pair of jeans.
Sarah Palin got Bristol a $60,000 Escalade.
Why does Hopey hate his daughters?
[re=529137]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]:
Okay, so I laughed ’til I tinkled a little, did a pirouette, and fell face first into the sink. That’s what you did to me there.
[re=529155]gogoguerilla[/re]: You obviously mean dropping a Reagan.
He should have started a “big brother” mentorship program for racist white rednecks. I assume the Appalachian Leadership fund buys teeth for the boys and deodorant for their sisters.
[re=529117]proudgrampa[/re]: And for the troops, also.
Dear Mr. President:
I’m needy too!
Love,
Tommmcatt
Disgusting. Why does he hate Jewish people so much?
[re=529124]Delicious[/re]: That should be adequate sustenance for the Dr Who marathon!
Benetton Nation.
He didn’t spend any of it on porno?
I want my vote back.
Donating a couple of bucks to McCain’s opponent in Arizona would have been a neat touch.
[re=529154]WhatTheHeck[/re]: cuz he got it for bombing the fuck out of afghanistan, no?
[re=529172]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Someone in San Francisco should paint a mural of the recipients. It’ll go nicely with the other 300 murals in San Francisco painted using the Sherwin-Williams outdoor one-coat version of these:
http://uncivilsociety.org/2008/09/crayola-multicultural-crayons.html
“The other is the Central Asia Institute, which promotes education and literacy in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan with a focus on education girls.”
If education girls are anything like drinky girls, then I’ve “donated” at least $100,000 to their “charity” this year alone.
[re=529178]One Yield Regular[/re]: Done!
(Anyone know how to get Sherwin-Williams “Asian” out of pair of wool dress slacks?)
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T MAJOR IN ENGLISH… *chugs eighth whiskey of afternoon*
Fuck, now you tell me. *chug* *sob*
[re=529162]WadISay[/re]: ‘I assume the Appalachian Leadership fund buys teeth for the boys and deodorant for their sisters.’
So they’ll be able to tolerate each other better on date night.
I love my Prez! He is so pc!
He should have spent all the money on gold that he immediately shipped to an undisclosed location in Kenya.
You know he saved a wee bit for a canary yellow walking suit and a bitchin set of rims, just because.
[re=529183]Cape Clod[/re]: Precisely.
[re=529132]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: Pakitanis and Afghans. The other Asians are already smart.
[re=529170]problemwithcaring[/re]: Between that and not rescuing a shelter dog, I’m beginning to wonder if we’ll survive his reign of terror.
Would it have killed him to buy the shower curtains for the congressional showers?
J.C.Penney is having a sale this weekend.
“The Appalachian Leadership and Education Foundation”
Damn! Can Senator Byrd land those earmarks, or what?
The Posse Foundation, doesn’t Iverson have enough money?
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T MAJOR IN ENGLISH…
Do you think this copy editor did? (via BalloonJuice)
[re=529181]Extemporanus[/re]: Nice work – and so fast!
And if you DO waste your money on a BA in English, please, for the love of all that is decant and holy, don’t make the mistake of piling up massive amounts of student loan dept to go for a graduate degree in English.
On an unrelated note, does anyone have any good tips on how one might go about selling a kidney?
[re=529129]qwerty42[/re]:Mathematics is good for financial engineering and risk mitigation via naked swaps. This is why we have a flourishing economy and prosperity for all.
[re=529181]Extemporanus[/re]: hopefully just by buying her dinner.

[re=529117]proudgrampa[/re]: They probably think the American Indian College Fund helped Bobby Jindal, so they’re cool with that one.
[re=529173]GOPCrusher[/re]: Just listen to what you’re saying, man.
Porno, of all things in this world, was meant to be free. That’s *why* they invented the internets, fool.
As many Wonketteers have noted before, any decent or ordinary act by a human can be perverted by a liberal jernalism agency into the equivalent of child-molestation or a drive-by shooting, if that act was performed by a black presnit.
To wit, CBS managed to get in a nice dig at all this largesse and altruism in their final sentence:
“A White House spokesman tells CBS News that Mr. Obama is avoiding tax liability for the prize money by not accepting the award himself.”
Also.
HOW DARE HE GIVE TO CHARITIES THE fREICHTARDS CAN’T OBJECT TO WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE BIGGER BIGOTED DOUCHENOZZLES THAN THEY ALREADY ARE!?!
I can’t wait until Rush tells us how HE would have spent the money.

@Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire: I don’t think Barry needs to worry about primary votes in 2012… and it’s not like he won the primaries in Appalachia anyway.
[re=529225]Hunger Tallest Palin[/re]: Ha ha ha, you must have thought those sister-fucking retards have even one ounce of shame.

[re=529243]radically-raw[/re]: A couple too many subordinate clauses in that sentence fragment.
“Edgy, Radically Raw, Printed Gear”
Of those five words, I’ll agree with “printed”.
I’M RICH, BITCH!!! *HONK HONK*
[re=529243]radically-raw[/re]: Congratulations on a successful application of Poe’s Law. Were it not for southern mark smith’s comment, I’d have thought you were simply parodying teabagger prose.
[re=529241]radically-raw[/re]: Taxed to death, right. That’s what’s happened to all yer money–the gummint got it. And then you died?
Seriously–where are all these people who are starving to death because, thanks entirely to their tax liability, they can’t even afford the cold condensed soup they enjoyed during the glorious Bush Administration?
/Snark off
You can’t give to a better group than Fisher House if you have any concern for the troops. I’ve had to use their facilities and other services more than once and they’re just great people. I’m very pleased to see the President give them the most.
OK, Game on…
[re=529243]radically-raw[/re]: “Poor White Kids Whose Formerly Middle-Class Parents…”
Fixed it for you. Now go buy a dictionary, dumb ass. Opus the Penguin can’t be all up in yo grammatical bidness all the time, I’s got shit to do.
It’s funny how gays use a rainbow flag, yet Obama sent no rainbow skittle money for gays.
Posse Foundation? Sheeit. What about the Posse Comitatus Foundation, huh?
MOAR MUNNIES, PLEEZ!
EarMarx? Did someone say EarMarx?
Barry could’ve had some compassion and donated a few sheckels to the, “Arnold Reaganegger for Pressie-dent Campaign”. Vote Ahh-nold for Pressie-dent, amigos und get a saurkraut hot dog at the Taco Bar.
Of course there’s the, “White Folk’s Fund for middle class strapped suburban families who are too dumb to stop voting for war mongers who can’t win a game of checkers and have to rebuild other nations they attack Fund.
Least he didn’t give any of that bread to the Black Sox.
I have been forced to substitute the cheap substitute “azfalea,” instead of using genuine teak, in the renovation of the woodwork in the saloon of my yacht; I also could have used some of that money, teak costs almost $30 a board foot, these days.
[re=529182]hoosiermama[/re]: English is a perfectly good major, if your plan for life is to be an inheritor.
[re=529317]imissopus[/re]: No no, radically-raw is not an ignoramus who can’t read or spell — he really meant “Formally Middle-Class Parents” as in, they dress for dinner every night in formal black-tie outfits and cocktail gowns. T
hat is, they did until they were taxed to death.
[re=529452]HuddledMass[/re]: It would make some sort of sense if he said “formerly middle-class parents who were impoverished when the companies they worked for off-shored their jobs in order to avoid paying taxes, high wages, and the costs associated with not being allowed pump poisons into the air and water, while ironically, these same parents proudly supported the “free trade” new world order conservatives, Reagan and Bushes 1 and 2, who encouraged this off-shoring of their jobs with tax breaks and the elimination of tarrifs and trade restrictions.” That would have made sense, and it even suggests that part of the “blame,” may rightly be attributed to “liberal” ideas such as the one that said that their parents should be able to earn a middle class wage working at those jobs they used to have.
[re=529472]Prommie[/re]: Win, girl.
