Well, unless you count a couple of signed magazines. What did that cost them, ten bucks?
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; another year Chelsea Clinton offered up her babysitting services to the highest bidder.
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.
Just think, after Obama pulled the rug out of some of Sidwell’s students by de-funding the school voucher program, a few rounds of golf and tea with the first lady could have brought in enough dough to make it up to them. But then again, he’s never been known for generosity. Unless, that is, he’s being generous with other people’s money.
