    Bush's pals and their Vulture Funds grab millions of the money before it gets to the people that need it (and Bush knows this).

    Bob Geldof says President Bush has done more to help Africa than any other Predient ever. This is another example of the media ignoring his wonderful accomplishments.


    I'm sure the people in New Orleans are thrilled about his wonderful accomplishments such as this.

    Those quotes are funny considering just how much he increased the federal government size and scope in his eight years in the Whitehouse.

    Yeah, most of which was the military. This was his plan to end the Soviet Union. (PS it worked).


    I guess the right wing radio propaganda really does work, huh?




    Ok, be honest with us... you didn't type that all with a straight face did you?

    ;)
    Good answer. Very lucid reply.

    Why don't you talk to Nagin, and the good governor who told President Bush to Stand down, and not send troops until it was too late. A little research goes along way.

    just because he has done and said a lot of dumb things, that doesnt mean that EVERYTHING he does is going to be awful.

    Not everything he does is going to be awful, just an awful lot of things. I'm glad to know Bush has actually done something good. History will not be kind of his presidency.

    quoting ronald reagan doesn't actually serve the credibility of your posts. (edit : btw isn't it a bit wierd for someone supposed to be representing the government boast about its uselessness?)
    As for Africa it kind of makes me think about Europe during the cold war : the middle ground for a confrontation between russia and the us. Except today it's more between the us and china and the weapons are mostly financial. China is doing business in africa (and fucking up as well).

    Very scary to think people are getting "facts" from this think progress site. It's not even a news group, or objective in any way at all. Very scary.

    Bob Geldof is as much of an authority on morality as Sean Penn is.

    Just saying.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Fear clouds your mind rah0027. You ought to be able to read and analyze sources from different points of view without being afraid.

    I used this link because a timeline helps us put the events in perspective. And I find this timeline to be well researched, note that all of the entries include references to mainstream media or government sources. If you can find a better timeline please post it. We can discuss the details in it and I won't be afraid.

    It takes gall to criticize objectivity and respond by posting a right wing authored opinion piece.

    There is blame to go around.

    If he did do good, then good for him.

    Still doesn't make up for his other fuck ups.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    O

    Of course there was enough blame to go around, except people weren't blaming Blanco and Nagin. Surprised you admitted that. The president trusted those under him. That thinkprogress gives timelines like Micheal Moore gave 9/11 timelines. making it seem like the president could care less. It is a way to sway opinion, and is very dishonest. Making it seem like he was partying while those people were drowning. Shame on thinkprogress. Using tragedy to further their political agenda.
