MSNBC! World Leaders Streisand and Murdoch Come Together with

[KoKo]

Laura Bush, Bill Clinton, Richard Branson, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and other WORLD LEADERS of "Enterprise/Entreprenuers/Hollywood" to ban together to work to end World Poverty.

Missing is: How many times have we seen these huge Photo Ops giving WORLD AID to Emerging Countries...Millions are Given...and where is the result? We have Dufar..we have Chad we have Sex Slavery in the Mariana's and ALL OVER THE WORLD... Yet these Entertainers, Politicians and Business Leaders GIVE AND GIVE AND GIVE ...and do PHOTO OPS and PHOTO OPS...on and on.

When one is a Millionaire, Billionaire you can give away ALOT for a HUGE TAX BREAK and a FEEL GOOD OPPORTUNITY! YOU CAN FEEL VERY GOOD or rather YOUR CONSCIENCE can feel very good.

BUT..........WHAT ABOUT AMERICAN POVERTY? What about US? WHAT ABOUT WHAT GOES ON HERE AT HOME?

WHO WILL STAND UP FOR "US?"

(BTW: BIll Clinton laughing and applauding Laura Bushes African Children Merry-Go-Round twirling to raise power for well water....(the kids replaced Wind Power by using their energy on the MGR to pump the water)
was so over the top obnoxious to me...that it shamed me..that I could ever have respected and fought for Bill Clinton through his Monica Travails...

When will AVERAGE AMERICANS WAKE UP AND SEE WHAT's BEING DONE TO THEM?

WHEN?

[Benhurst]

1. Poverty in the America? What are you talking about?

We're the World's Only Superpower, and don't you forget it!

:patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

We're number One.


What a dump!

[DURHAM D]

2. Lord - who pulled your tail ?

Oh, and what have you done lately?

[JuniperLea]

3. Ummm... I feel the same

And I routinely give leftover food from business meetings to the homeless and hungry I find sleeping in the doorway of the building where I work... a building in the downtown area of one of the wealthiest cities in the world. Ask me what again? We should all be as angry as the OP.

[KoKo]

8. Are you asking me what "charities" have I given to lately?

If I answered would it allow you to post an "honest assessment" of your opinion of the legitimacy of my post? :shrug:

If I was in the "League of Fortune" of the BIG NAMES in my "OP" would I be posted here on DU urging REFORM?

[gully]

4. America is part of the "world" and the initiative includes us.

eom

[KoKo]

5. What do you mean in YOUR VIEW about "America is Part of the World?"

Thanks.......
Peace!
koko

[gully]

6. What I mean is that the Clinton Foundation will help Americans in

poverty as well.

[KoKo]

7. I know...but how many of these "admirable events" have we had from

WORLD LEADERS...giving a "portion of their fortunes" to eliminate World Poverty ...when in fact it's a HUGE Tax Deduction when one is very Wealthy.

What about AMERICAN POVERTY? Why does no one talk about that?

Do you see what I'm saying, here? :shrug:

Why no PROGRAM by the STARS for Appalachia/Buffalo/Ohio/SC/NC and wherever the MILLS/shoe Factories/Auto Parts Industry and on..and on...and on have THROWN OUT WORKERS AND CUT OFF HEALTH CARE AND PENSIONS!

I know from my Southern Experience that "FURNITURE MAKERS" are out on WELFARE...with NO HEALTH INSURANCE except MEDICARE.

I UNDERSTAND that those in THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES...don't even have the BASICS of RUDIMENTARY Health CARE....BUT STILL...Shouldn't our Donations to UNICEF and UN be helping this?

Why can't we work towards GLOBAL HEALTH CARE?

[Auntie Bush]

9. Bill Clinton is a good and generous man. How can he tell the

world about his initiative without as many photo ops and publicity as possible? Give the man a break. Do we Democrats have to denounce everyone?

[KoKo]

10. I understand what you say and might have agreed with you if Clinton had

showed SPUNK when Al Gore was DENIED THE PRESIDENCY by the SUPREME COURT after the Brother of a CANDIDATE FIXED THE VOTE IN FLORIDA!

Clinton never said a word until Hillary got $21mil to RUN in '08.

I lost friends and family defending CLINTON against MELLON-SCAIFE (that none of my family ever heard of) and was accused by Family/Friends of being a RAVING DEFENDER of a "Pervert President."

Yet...NOW after so many years of SILENCE...Clinton comes RIDING IN ON HIS WHITE HORSE to support his Wife's RUN for PRESIDENT? With that "Whore of the Corporatists, Terry MacAuliff as Hillary's Campaign Manager??????

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

The YEARS OF THE BUSH REGIME have HARDENED ME! I cannot RESPECT DEMOCRATS WHO ALLOWE TORTURE AND PRE-EMPTIVE WAR TO RULE...along with SHREDDING OF OUR CONSTITUTION ...to GET ANOTHER SHOT AT PRESIDENT!

I just can't. I still have PRINCIPLES ...like MANY OTHER DU'ers AND AMERICANS to allow this Kabuki DANCE between CLINTONs and those who TRASHED THEM...to see their "COMPROMISE" with Poppy Bush as an ASSET to the DEM PARTY.

I'm sorry...but how "Forgiving" can one really be when faced with a clash of "Compromise" over "SOUL!"

I can't do it.... sorry...I just can't and there are MANY DU'ERS...who have PRIDE IN OUR DEMOCRATIC ROOTS...who just can't STOMACH it EITHER!!!
