Depends on the promise- but this is, well, NICE. He knows he'll have plenty left over AND deals after, too- not a damn thing wrong with that!

As long as there's nothing sneaky about it somewhere or how- good on him.

Be that as it may, but giving up most of your wealth is something that deserves come credit.

Campaign promise or not, it's still a damn good thing to do. Let's see if any other world leader follows suit.

Bill & Hillary are adopting a Tanzanian child. The adoption will be finalized this week. A public announcement is imminent.

The PR guys will speak of them adopting a boy named Jambo, although his name is truly Michael. It works out nicely since no one wants an MJ connection these days and Bill likes hitting Jamba Juice a few times a week.

Look for 42 to be carrying Jambo on a Segway from his Harlem HQs down to Central Park.

In any case, good for him.

Nothing surprising about that. The promise was to use his own money.

No, but I think you forget that campaign promises are rarely altruistic.
