This just in - Bush praised by social activitist!!

To see President Bush and "social activitist" in the same sentence, much less Bush being praised by the social activitist might cause some of you to need to sit down - you know who you are.

But - in the interest of presenting something both positive on our President AND a prime example of media bias, here is an example of note.

Now, this came from FoxNews, but I agree with Solo/Rich - if you read enough sources and actually let your brain think for itself, you can screen out any possible media bias. 

 ************************************************

Rock singer and noted social activist Bob Geldof is praising President Bush for his work in delivering bills of dollars to fight disease and poverty in Africa — and ripping the media for ignoring it. The Washington Times reports Geldof has joined the president during his African trip, and is interviewing him for TIME Magazine.He says Mr. Bush — "has done more than any other president so far."He adds — "This is the triumph of American policy really. It was probably unexpected of the man. It was expected of the nation, but not of the man, but both rose to the occasion. What's in it for him? Absolutely nothing." And of the press— Geldof says — "You guys didn't pay attention." And as if to prove the point — neither The New York Times nor The Washington Post printed a word of his praise for President Bush.

CCC,

I agree that it's about time.  I recall @ a week or two ago reading a political commentary that had heaps of praise for W, but for wwhatever reason, it has not been picked up by the mainstream press.  Even I have to admit that in spite of all of his shortcomings, he's done a pretty darn good job on this.

...that Africa is a continent and not a "nation".  Will this be his legacy?  At least he's done one positive thing in almost 8 years, so I guess it must be!  Good for him!

Thank you for your glowing comments regarding one positive thing in almost 8 years.  That was very kind.

I guess keeping you safe doesn't count as a positive thing - that is ok, based on your posts I am guessing you are an Obama voter.  If he wins (which at times seems likely) I would love to be a fly on the wall during his first CIA brief regarding terrorist activity in this country... now that would be priceless.
