Africa misses Bush...

Talking and not doing, versus doing and not talking...

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — As President Obama’s motorcade pulled up on Sunday to a community health center run by Archbishop Desmond Tutu in this picturesque coastal city, people on the streets held signs that read “Thanks PEPFAR.” It was a reference to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, started by President George W. Bush.

Obama has been widely applauded for distinguishing himself from Bush’s policies, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. But across this continent, many Africans wish Obama was more like Bush in his social and health policies, particularly in the fight against HIV/AIDS — one of the former president’s signature foreign policy aid programs.

How do jounalists get away with such comments, or do they actually believe what they write?

The King basically followed the structure and timetable Bush put in place with the new Iraqi government to wind down and end the war in Iraq. And last I read, there are still US troops in Afghanistan. Patriot Act, Gitmo, drones, spying, etc.......if The King had an (R) behind his name, fat sack would have had a heart attack by now.
