Gulf coast disaster ignored by Hollywood?

Haiti got immediate attention and charity events, Katrina (New Orleans) provoked much angst and charity events.
The Gulf oil spill, not so much.
Where are the commercials begging for help?
Where are the celebrities demanding more from our government?
Where are Sean Penn and his boat posse?

Some celebs on the B-list are trying to help: "Last week, Lenny Kravitz, Mos Def, John Legend and others took part inGulf Aid, a fundraising concert held in New Orleans, which producer Ben Jaffe says raised $350,000 for fishing families and wetlands restoration. Louisiana native and actor Ian Somerhalder, who earned moderate fame as one of the first major characters to get the boot during season one of "Lost," filmed a few PSAs for the Audubon Institute..."


Is that all?
Is that the best they can do?
I guess it is to be expected. They and the media pretty much ignored Katrina damage east of Louisiana and it appears they will do it again. . 

Generosity in the White House?

Not if it's Joe's money!
Joe Biden and his wife only donated 1.4% of their income to charity last year.
The Obamas, on the other hand, gave 31.4%.
It needs to be noted that the Obamas gave The President's Nobel money away (as promised).
Also, as mentioned in this story, he allowed school vouchers in D.C. to be cancelled the same year he gave $50,000 to the United Negro College Fund (why do they still use the word "Negro"?).
