To Help US Veterans Charity, George W. Bush Charged $100,000

Skunk wife charged 50K
20K additional for private jet to and from event.

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 (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/laura-bush.htm)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.
The charity, which helps to provide specially-adapted homes for veterans who lost limbs and suffered other severe injuries in “the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said the total $170,000 expenditure was justified because the former President and First Lady offered discounted fees and helped raise record amounts in contributions at galas held in 2011 and 2012.
“It was great because he reduced his normal fee of $250,000 down to $100,000,” said Meredith Iler, the former chairman of the charity.However, a recent report by Politico (http://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/on-talk-circuit-george-bush-makes-millions-but-few-waves-118697.html) said the former President’s fees typically ranged between $100,000 and $175,000 during those years.
One of the wounded vets who served on the charity’s board told ABC News he was outraged that his former commander in chief would charge any fee to speak on behalf of men and women he ordered into harm's way.
“For him to be paid to raise money for veterans that were wounded in combat under his orders, I don’t think that’s right,” said former Marine Eddie Wright, who lost both hands in a rocket attack in Fallujah (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/iraq/fallujah.htm), Iraq in 2004.
“You sent me to war,” added Wright speaking of the former President. “I was doing what you told me to do, gladly for you and our country and I have no regrets. But it’s kind of a slap in the face.”

Clinton(s) didn't invade Iraq and Afghanistan, wasting 10Ks (so far) of US military lives, bodies, minds.

the "moron" Marine quoted in the article worries about himself and his military buddies.

What does that have to do with paid speeches?

EVERY FUCKING THING

your "moron" Marine made his point about dubya very clearly.

[boutons_deux]

Clinton actually admitted Muslim terrorism was a problem and tried to kill OBL, for which he got trashed by the witch-hunting Repugs, who didn't take Muslim terrorism seriously until 9/11.

dubya even quit trying to get OBL, too much "work", and being President was "hard work" enough.

The war veteran that lost both hands in combat is the one that's angry.

You just called him a pathetic idiot.

That question has been raised many times. I think the answer is that he's really oblivious.

[CosmicCowboy]

So how much per plate did they charge for the event? How much did they make for the charity?

[Shastafarian]

How much did they make for the charity?
$100,000 less than if he had done it for free most likely.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, do that shit for expenses at most.

Especially since those dudes are mangled because of you.

Are you going to sleep ok after this? You should go protest this.

I wasn't answering for veterans events only shithead. I don't give a shit what Chumpty-Dumbty asks.

An event is an event. $100k is small comparatively to the others.

Then you're comparing apples and oranges. The reason GWB is a chickenshit for charging is he had a deciding role in putting thousands of American soldiers into the ground. This charity tries to help veterans lucky enough to have survived GWB. I would ask if you comprehend that but I know you don't.

UAS! UAS! UAS!

Some prosthetics are coming way down in price when made with 3D printers.

All the veterans' groups need to pay Bush that much as a thank you for getting them blown up?

Then you've completely missed the point. No one is saying he can't earn a fee for some events... but for a US Veterans Charity????
