Really.... do the flaming libs know that money doesn't actually exist... kind of like the $7.2 billion budget surplus at the end of his presidency.
Learn to read.... here is a quote from the article:
"Clinton collected more than $7 billion in commitments to his Global Initiative project last week in New York. His foundation staged an event similar to the planned October fundraiser in Toronto recently and collected approximately $20 million. Organizers won't put a figure on what they expect to raise in New York next month but are anticipating a significantly larger take than the Canadian event generated."
Did you notice the word "commitments"??? The money doesn't exist yet. He has raised a bunch of promises....
You libs really need to learn how to read.

Actually if you read the entire story you would have seen Clinton - for most but not all, I'll give you that - most of that money was already in the works and he just came in at the tail end with his group and claimed it as his own doing. Just like his presidency. Example, he claimed it was his policies that led to the good economy for some of his time in the White House.
And, again if you had read the story, you would have read that many other charities and organizations designed to assist the needy and poor are being put out of business because of Clinton so basically their money is simply being redirected.
It's about time he did something that was selfless. But he has taken even that and has demanded the attention.
Poor Bill.

He did, well 3 billion of it is still tied up but he is doing some good things. Not only to help the needy but Global warming, alternative fuel etc.

Help the needy? Isn't 3 billion of that from Branson for alternative energy research?

Please, let us not embarass our friends. After all the Republicans you know are always handing out donations at the back door. And they are the first that have their kids sign up for service in Iraq, and in the infantry also. That is just a wonderful group of upstanding crooks.

The only "needy" that Bush will raise money for are his utra-rich "needy" corporate buddies.

Will the needy really get any of it?
Or will it go into Hillary's campaign chest?

And then did he throw it at them?
Are they better now?
Who gives the most to charity (among average people)? Do not count celebritites or politicians.
You might be surprised to know that it is not the wealthy. And it is most certainly not the liberals.
