BTW: In a small quirp on this story the NY Daily News also pointed out how Richard Gere recently called BJ Bill Clinton a fraud!

I hope Bush is doing the right thing for Africa. They need all the help they can get. In the long run, the stronger Africa is, the stronger the US will be (because Africa is rich in natural resources, and exporting them to us will be good for us). If anyone can tackle the AIDS crisis, it is a results-oriented Republican president, not a sex-obsessed Democrat or a sex-obsessed Republican.

Another BTW, a lot of us conservatives wonder if the African AIDS crisis is overblown and is simply a world health community (read: prostitution ring) scam to ring up dollars that could be better spent in different ways to aid the African people. Clinton and the EU aren't the only leftist collectivists with an agenda that claims to help people while actually doing 'diddly.'

This brings to mind a quote I heard once, "Liberals talk about the problems of the world, conservatives do something about it!"

"Clinton talked the talk and did diddly squat,
whereas Bush doesn't talk, but does deliver," Lord Alli said.

One president was focused on himself.
One president is focused on his fellow man.
One man wanted to look good.
One man is good.

'"You'll think I'm off my trolley when I say this, but the Bush administration is the most radical - in a positive sense - in its approach to Africa since Kennedy," Geldof told the Guardian.'
What does Geldof know of JFK? What did Kennedy do except maybe have a few African poobahs assassinated or deposed? Geldof is thinking magically here methinks.

God bless them but we can not save the African continent. Just as throwing money at the Education Department hasn't forestalled the dumbing down of America, throwing 15 or 150 billion dollars is not going to solve the problems at work in Africa. And as a poster suggests this kind of charity should start at home.

Tragically, this is all too often Africa:

I love it - one of the Holly-weirdos has finally figured out that Clinton was a fraud - all talk and no action.

[ladyinred]

I like that he feels this way, but it is an underhanded compliment at the same time. He put out disclaimers in the beginning, and basically called him a weirdo, and did the extreme right wing wacko routine. Why didn't he just say how thankful he is without all of this garbage!

[Southack]

You'll notice that the media NEVER talks about how many specific Dollars/Euros that the Europeans are contributing to Africa.

Suffice it to say that they haven't come close to $15 Billion, lest we would have heard from them non-stop calling us "cheap".
