President Obama Rejects Ice Bucket Charity Challenge

U.S President Barack Obama has
refused to get doused with a bucket
of ice water for the ALS Challenge.
Obama will instead take the penalty
and donate money to a charity
fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Obama was issued the challenge by
Ethel Kennedy, the eldest living
member of the Kennedy family, an
American political dynasty.
'The President appreciates Mrs.
Kennedy thinking of him for the
challenge, though his contribution to
this effort will be monetary,' the
White House told the Boston Globe's
Matt Viser.
