Obama gives $1.4 million in Nobel Prize money to charities

Ten charities will split the $1.4 million awarded to President Obama as part of the Nobel Peace Prize, the White House announced today.

"These organizations do extraordinary work in the United States and abroad, helping students, veterans and countless others in need," Obama said in a statement. "I'm proud to support their work."

The charities work on such issues as housing for veterans, college assistance and economic development in Africa and Central Asia. The Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund is a recipient.

Thanks to Dr. Obama, Phd. for this move.

He knows how to give money he did not work for to charity.

(ZING!)

Well, he said he was going to.

Found money if there ever was. Good move to help some worthy charities.

What if he had used it to credit the national debt, now that would have been a story.

Washcloth in a hurricane.

There's better things to do with it.
