Re: ugh (2.00 / 7)

I'd think your concern for the kid was sweet if I thought it was genuine.  His mother no doubt thinks this is a tremendous experience for him as any adult would, and will see to it that he gets a new bike.  Please don't strain yourself feeling for the child.

Promise? (1.00 / 1)

Do you promise to get the little guy a bike?

Why not just thank him for the gesture but politely decline the money. Let him keep his bike.

I'll leave that up to his mother.  The word was will.

That makes one side of the transaction that was classy.

Re: Why not just thank him for the gesture (2.00 / 3)

Because it was alot more than a mere 'gesture', and as such, being turned down by the Clinton's would have been to treat him like a child when he's clearly trying to transition to an adult. Or perhaps you're just jealous because you realize only a classy parent is capable of raising a classy child, 'dad'.

Classy? (2.00 / 1)

This CHILD is being lead to believe Hillary's presidency is so important he needs to give up all his toys.

He must then be terribly afraid of an Obama presidency.

You think that is cute?

Re: Classy? (2.00 / 3)

Many adults are "terribly afraid" of an Obama presidency. Just ask one of the 15 million not covered by his health insurance plan.

Re: Classy? (2.00 / 1)

I see this a lot here.  I know that there is no mandate for adults in Obama's plan, but could you elaborate on how any of the "15 million" would not be covered if they did not want to be?

She can't.  She just makes shit up.  It's her M.O.  Learned it from her candidate.

Oy (2.00 / 2)

You assume his parents led him to do this, he didn't give up all his toys, and it's grossly cynical to conclude that his selfless act is rooted in terrible fear.

But thanks for responding. It sure explains alot.

Rejecting gifts is rude (2.00 / 4)

Yes, even to a kid. Especially to a kid who did this. It would be equivalent to saying you are just a little kid, you don't matter.

He is eleven.

It is pathetic this kid thought Hillary was so desperate for the money in the first place.

Yes, shame him for being too poor to make a "meaningful" contribution.

Oh, the hope and unity.
