The United States said Monday it would donate 50,000 dollars in emergency aid to Italy after a powerful earthquake killed at least 100 people.

I saw the $50K thing yesterday and thought, “Gee, that’s about $50 per person.”
I am ashamed of this country, and want to apologize on its behalf to the citizens of Italy.
This is Holy Week and I’d love to curse The 0ne, but I’ll refrain.
Never did see him go into any church during this visit. Even in Prague.
Maybe he’ll send over food kits. You know, the ones with the tainted peanut butter that he sent to the ice storm victims.
I hear some Arab countries have pledged millions.
Is that typical for the Arab countries? Or are they trying to draw attention to how chintzy Obama is?
Didn't you hear our Esteemed President in Turkey today? America is not a Christian country.
What did The 0ne give the Turkish president?
Well, only if you compare it to the $900,000 we gave Hamas after their earthquake.
It’s easy. Italy is European, mostly White, and mostly Christian. That’s all you need to know.
The bitter hatred of the country’s first affirmative action president is now obvious.
This is an insult to the Italian people. Better not to have offered a penny than $50K.
What did The 0ne give the Turkish president?
Big time insult considering a story out today of a $350,000 of taxpayers money for a tunnel for mating salamanders in Vermont.
“The real problem with this generous gift of $50,000 is that Zer0 gets to take over the Italian Government for ever.
That is a bad investment in my opinion.”
Ok - that was FUNNY! LOL!
I wish him to sleep with the fishes.
I don't know that Obama gave the Turkish President or PM any gifts.
Wow, $50K, huh?
That won’t even buy a truck to haul away rubble.
Obama/Clinton: buffoons in foreign policy.
And how much is 0bama giving to Hamas?
Italy gets pocket change compared to others because of the TWTC problem...too white, too Christian.
“”a total embarrassment””
Let’s make sure we remember this when a quake hits a Muslim country - then the REAL dollars will flow.
You’re right. It already feels like a year or two.
*sigh*
>>How much did they send for Katrina and Rita?<<
That was mentioned yesterday and MyTwoCopperCoins found an answer. See reply #75 on the top thread.
