Is there anybody that hasn't done this yet?

Of course there is. Mr. O - he said it wasn't "Presidential" and wrote out a check for a whopping $100. GW called HIM out and I thought it was pretty funny...... There's probably a video of GW with Laura dumping the water over his head......

According to an article in WSJ, GW said he didn't think it was very presidential to take the challenge and was going to write out the $100.00 check when Laura changed the plan.

George said it wasn't presidential, yes. He was starting to write a check when Laura came up beside him and dumped the water on him.

I haven't heard anybody challenging O to do it.

Unless I'm reading incorrectly, it looked like Sophiamarie was saying the current prez is the one who said it was presidential and wrote the check? I've not heard anyone challenge him either.

That's what I thought when I read her post.

When I watched the video of George, he said it wasn't presidential and started to write out a check.

LeBron James is who challenged O. Mr. O stated that he would not do it because he thought it wasn't very "presidential." He said that he would write a donation check instead. Being worth $7 million, O wrote out a check for $100. (Aug 19, 2014)

Pres. GW was challenged by several people, who he names in the video. Mr. GW, in a spoof of Mr. O, stated that he didn't think it was very presidential, and that he would write out a check. While he started to write the check, Laura "snuck up" behind him and dumped a bucket of ice water over his head. Obviously preplanned. Pres. GW then challenged (called out) Pres. Bill. (Aug 20, 2014)

Very well done... and very funny.

I want to see Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity do it!!! I would take a bucket full of ice water on my head just to see that!

How about adding Ann Coulter and Rush. i just saw Adam Lambert's ice bucket challenge and he called out to Brian May, Roger Taylor and Rufus Taylor to do the same on their tour.

Sophia, thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. He isn't very presidential at all.

What was up with Oprah's Ice Bucket challenge?? Gayle poured the ice over Oprah's head but there was hardly any thing in it. Just ice and no water.

I saw several that were just ice. I thought I read it was ice or ice water. (:
