Why not just turn it over to the US Treasury?

which groups will get the $1.4 million Implying that, at some point in the future the funds will be sent to these worthy groups
...unless of course he isn't re-elected or removed from office prior to disbursement. Then, well, daddy needs his 40s, baby!

Sounds like he’s feeling guilty for getting the Nobel Prize for doing absolutely nothing.

Sounds like he’s feeling guilty for getting the Nobel Prize for doing absolutely nothing. Sounds like his lawyers couldn't figure a way around the Federal restrictions on accepting gifts from foreign governments (the Nobel committee is quaisi-governmental since its members are chosen by the Norwegian Parliament).

Now that was pretty good!

What does he need a piddling 1.4 mil for? He wil leave the presidency richer than the Clintons and has access to anything he wants for the time being. The giveaway is worth more to him in public relations than in his pocket.

I bet that it goes back to the Rev. J. Wright ... or ACORN .. perhaps dependents of the fallen Underground Weathermen?
