One example from last year, and there's many more out there:
http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/13/bono-praises-incredible-george-w-bush-and-entrepreneurial-capitalism-video/ "“It’s incredible, it’s incredible what George Bush’s — President Bush’s — name is in the history books. His name is in the front foreword of a book that’s written on the end of AIDS.”
The Grammy-award winner and co-founder of the non-profit ONE campaign also told the audience that Africa needs capitalism, not just foreign aid.
“Rock star preaches capitalism. Wow, sometimes I hear myself and I just can’t believe it but commerce is real… aid is just a stopgap,” Bono said. “Entrepreneurial capitalism takes more people out of poverty than aid, of course."
A few weeks back, around the time of the Bush Library dedication, I watched the Dana Perrino (sp?)... you know the girl from The Five who was on his staff as a speechwriter... well I distinctly recall President Bush speaking very fondly during that interview of Bono. It’s an odd pairing but apparently both men have a great amount of respect for each other.
