We are giving Italian quake victims $50,000 in aid.

How very generous of Obama. If he's willing to give that kind of scratch to a country to aid in the aftermath of an earthquake, just imagine how much he's willing to give the poor in this country who need government assistance.

At least Bush was willing to donate a few million to Thailand after the tidal wave.

I don't know why we need to subsidize the foolish man who built his house upon the sand. If they won't retrofit medieval stone structures in a known high-risk quake zone, they shoudn't get a bunch of money from us to subsidize their gross negligence.

But the US is an arrogant country. We have to do something to make up for being the international dickheads we've been for so long.

We could have sent them a sack of shovels. I wonder why the Obama administration didn't choose that option.

We sent then tens of millions of Lira, what's the problem?
