Former first lady Barbara Bush donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund with specific instructions that the money be spent with an educational software company owned by her son Neil.

Since then, the Ignite Learning program has been given to eight area schools that took in substantial numbers of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

"Mrs. Bush wanted to do something specifically for education and specifically for the thousands of students flooding into the Houston schools," said Jean Becker, former President Bush's chief of staff. "She knew that HISD was using this software program, and she's very excited about this program, so she wanted to make it possible for them to expand the use of this program." ...

Regarding the fact that Bush's earmarked donation also benefited her son's company, Becker said, "Mrs. Bush is obviously an enthusiastic supporter of her son. She is genuinely supportive of his program," and has received many letters from educators who support it. Bush "honestly felt this would be a great way to help the (evacuee) students."

Was it her money or yours?

She's a private citizen, she can donate to whatever cause she wants.

Sorry, got to agree. It is her money. She can do whatever she wants with it.

Now, if the Federal government gave money to a private company based on personal relationship (where do we start?), thats another ball game.

Once again, Bush is at a 2% approval rating, and THIS is the "dirt" you're jumping at?

[Vashner]

Republicans and military fixed the ing problem down there. In between crying and complaining by liberals.

You know how New Orleans got food water and evacs? From ing pussy liberals moving the out of the way and letting the soldiers and Bush people take over from the incompetent LOCAL democrat dumb leaders.
