FWIW

The university said it did the planning with minimal input from the White House. The school paid for the event, including $60,000 for 10,000 T-shirts bearing the words "Together We Thrive." The shirts were handed out for free. T-shirts. The money will not come student tuition, fees or tax dollars.

Minimal input, hence input.

So where did the money come from and who made the request for the shirts?

That money could’ve helped the families with funerals and medical bills... Instead of t-shirting a pep rally.

Just a little hard to believe that anyone in the Obama Administration did not discuss with anyone at UA plans for the so-called memorial. Haven’t we heard that this is the most controlling President in years as far as who is allowed to speak and where they are allowed to speak? Now we are expected to believe that this President, who probably has his breakfast plans orchestrated, knew nothing about the t-shirts, the venue, the crowd, etc. Either someone is not being honest or the weight loss is getting to Obama’s head.

Maybe they’ll take it out of revenue generated by the football or basketball teams... or siphon it off monies received from school-owned patents, etc (that should have gone to scholarships...)

It’s disgusting.

Another FWIW

FoxNation.com spoke to representatives at University of Arizona BookStores who revealed the vendor they used...."Youth Monument," a Los Angeles-based company specializing in "the hottest" college brands. "I don't feel comfortable commenting on the story," said Nick Ventura when contacted by FoxNation.com. Ventura called himself "a partner" at Youth Movement. When asked if the University of Arizona was a regular client and if there was any contact with the White House or any political group he responded "no comment."
