When Chelsea Clinton was a student at the Sidwell Friends School, the same school the Obama girls attend, the Clinton family’s involvement with the school’s annual benefit brought in big bucks. In 1996, a round of golf with Bill Clinton went for nearly six figures;
This past weekend was the Obamas’ first chance to participate in the Sidwell Friends School Dollars for Scholars benefit, and some families who remember the Clintons’ support are disappointed in the Obamas’ first showing.
According to a source with ties to the school, the only items up for bid from the Obamas included a signed copy of the Rolling Stone issue featuring the president and a signed copy of the January Vogue that featured the first lady.
“There were expectations that they might donate something more personal, like the Clintons did,” said another source who knew about the auction. “Lots of people were disappointed.”
A spokesperson for the Obamas said, “We have no comment on this.”

What does 0 say about charitable giving?
The Obama’s, like a lot of liberals, are all about themselves. It’s well documented that liberals give much less to charity than conservatives do.
Not bad for a thug from Chicago........
Who is advising these people on their gift-giving?.....K-Mart?
Barack H. Obama, "Hon, call the IRS, the FBI, the CIA, and BATF and find out what they have on llevrok."
If they go to Sidewell, where do they go to Church?
He gives Zero. And then expects us to make up the difference.

Well, then the school ought to get creative and auction off a bucket of water that Obama walked on.
Charity is for the little people.
I guess they ran out of airport gifts.
ROFL!!! let me open the bidding, I bid the dirty water left in the bucket after mopping my kitchen.

How much did they get for that Air Force-One trip around NY Harbor today!
Just when you thought it wasn’t possible to make Bill and Hilary Clinton look good...
guess which is their most charitable donation
yep it goes to the negro college fund.
The sooner the idiots wake u-p and realise that the obama’s are in this for themselves and they care for nothing but themselves the better this country will be
so no comment from them on this, no surprise there
FWI. In case you need any ideas.
And seldom have donated to worthwhile “charities” . . .The Congressional Black Caucus isn’t one of them.
As I posted over the weekend with respect to Biden’s pittance of donations . . . this says a whole lot about who these people really are.
a bunch of kids who have just left college it seems
