Bush accused of fumbling scholarship promise

10News in San Diego reports New Orleans Saints running back is at the center of a college scholarship issue with his name attached.
In March 2007, Helix High School seniors Brandon Fountain and Matt Cobb were presented a $10,000 scholarship from Bush to use for college.
Fountain attends Cuyamaca College, and Cobb entered San Diego State University. Each received a $2,500 installment on their scholarships in their freshman year. Both ran into problems the following year when trying to contact the scholarship's trustee, Jerry Michaels.
It was the same story for Cobb, and after weeks of wondering they received an answer they were not expecting.
"That's when we were told he was out of funds and due to the economy he didn't have the money," said Cobb.
And technically...he didnt even HAVE to come up with 15k...he only needed 5k. They eah got 10k scholarships, but span it over 4 years, thats 2500 per year each, they got the first one, and this year they only would have needed 2500+2500 or 5k total. So Reggie Douche is claiming he cant come up with 5k? Bull shit.
It might be hardship for Cobb, but for the guy attending Cuyamaca...LOL no. That's a community college. $2500 will pretty much get you through, books and all, with beer money left over.

Let’s take another look.” Remember that every government service, every offer of government financed security, is paid for in the loss of personal freedom. I am not castigating government and business for those many areas of normal cooperation, for those services that we know we must have and that we do willingly support…. But in the days to come whenever a voice is raised telling you to let the government do it, analyze very carefully to see whether the suggested service is worth the personal freedom which you must forego in return for such service.”–Ronald Reagan.
