Do you think the Maasai tribe would do us all a favor in this country and keep
Bush as their tribal leader over in Africa? Pleeaaase!

Africans Feeling The Love For Bush

Maybe here he can get the parades and flowers!

It's nice to see Bush finally purchase the adulation of someone other than defense contractors and oil companies.

Africans are smart enough to know not to bit the hand that feeds them.

It's easy to buy friends with someone else's money.

I hear there is a new discovery of Oil in Africa. Bush has them signed.

Dimpud:
If we secretly owned the stock, how would YOU know about it?

Dumbass.

Yeah but they already love Obama more,and he hasn't even borrowed any money from China to give them.

Bush has given more US aid to Africa than all previous presidents combined, yet enjoys a 2% approval rating among African Americans. Obviously, more money wasted.

Why do Africans love Bush? Is he promising that he will send them some of OUR TAX MONEY to help them or something? If so, does it mean that money does indeed buy love?

You guys all missed the point.

Bush had to go all the way to Africa to find a group of media-challenged people who have no clue as to his criminality. Ignorant to his ignorance(TM).

This is probably the only place on this planet that he will get this reception.

If they only knew.....

Money down a rathole courtesy of the worlds babysitter!

Well yeah of course they are gonna luff him.

Especially in the Kalahari!

Can't believe there's been 12 comments so far and nobody's mentioned the Bushmen of the Kalahari!

We must be slipping or sommat! ^_^

Be Well.

Send Africa razors.

Let's see..... $1.2B over 5 years.... thats $240 million a year .... $20 million a month to save kids from malaria. How's that compare to the several $billion a month spent in Iraq?

No parades or flowers in Iraq for nearly one thousand times the tax dollars. These Africans are a pretty cheap date!!!

The GOP, Spreading Democracy around the Globe one dead baby at a time!!!!

So now there's two places in the world that Bush can retire to that won't immediately hate him.

Africa and Albania.

He's pretty much gotta go to places that don't have teevee in order to be accepted.

How sad is that?

Be Well.

"Let's see..... $1.2B over 5 years.... thats $240 million a year .... $20 million a month to save kids from malaria. How's that compare to the several $billion a month spent in Iraq?"

Taking into account the fact that I have been against the Iraq adventure since the very beginning, can you explain to me what part of that god dammed piece of paper called the Constitution authorizes Congress to give OUR money to fucking Africa or any other fucking foreign nation?

The "it's a nice thing to do argument" is no excuse. The people who want to help the children in Africa can send their own money if they wish, but the U.S. government (at every level) should not send even one red cent.

If they only knew.....

Uh huh. They're not dying of malaria and dysentery anymore, and unfortunately for them, they need someone like you to explain to them that the world would be better off had Bush not been born, and they had all died, the stupid bastards.

Thank God for American liberals, whose support of poor blacks ends with a carton of cigarettes and a free trip to the voting booth. Any more than that might get expensive.

Dear Penis2586,

Taking a few cents from you to save a few kids from malaria (and YES, THEY DIE BY THE THOUSANDS from malaria even today) is the absolute worst thing this government has ever done!! They (Bush, Pelosi, et. al) should be killed, skinned, rendered and the proceeds from the sale of their carcuses used to refund you those few pennies.

We so apologize to you and hope you are never burdened again by such an unfair thing.

Sincerely,
The GOP

Translation: Let's just ignore the Constitution and do what feels right.

You really missed the point of my comment.

BTW, have any of you people seen this commercial on TV

Yup, thought it was bloody awful.

Bush buying mosquito netting and teaching African mothers how to use it to reduce infant mortality is a good and noble enterprise.

Spud's kinda wondering how much of this money is acutally gonna go to parts of the MIC (ie Dow) to buy DDT to help keep mosquito populations down.

Also wondering how much of this money is gonna go to Bush's fundie buddies to allegedly help Africans by teaching them sex education that focuses on abstinance over condoms.

Not wondering if the main reason he's doing this is to give him at least some small part of hislegacy as sommat other than a complete failure and monster.

Also not wondering if this ties into the emergence of a seperate Africom (Africa Command) with which to further secure the oil in Africa the same way the ME's oil is being "secured".

Be Well.

"You really missed the point of my comment."

No, I don't think I did. The GOPiggies rail against any kind of government program that "gives away my damned tax dollars" if the recipients aren't rich corporations, billionaires or Israel.

Well, there are a few of us, both conservatives and liberals, who take a tiny bit of solace in that vanishingly small percentage of our tax dollars that are spent on something 'good'. We may define 'good' differently, but the fact that occasionally the idiots in charge do something right makes that missing chunk of our paychecks a little less painful.

You may resume your rant now....

"No, I don't think I did. The GOPiggies rail against any kind of government program that "gives away my damned tax dollars" if the recipients aren't rich corporations, billionaires or Israel."


Anyone who has read me here at the DR for a long time will tell you that I also oppose giving subsidies, bailous, etc to large corporations and I have been accussed by the likes of GreatZeroLives of being anti-semitic for opposing aid to Israel. I oppose all that in the same ground, that it is not authorized by the Constitution.

"Yup, thought it was bloody awful."

SPUD!!!! If you keep this up, we may have to petition RCade to ban you permanently!!!

FF with bells on.

"Anyone who has read me here at the DR for a long time will tell you that I also oppose giving subsidies, bailous, etc to large corporations and I have been accussed by the likes of GreatZeroLives of being anti-semitic for opposing aid to Israel.

Okay, I concede. You are consistently a heard hearted dick. Also consistently reasonable on a lot of things.

And anyway, is there ANYONE here other than Schlong-boy Johnson that GZlies hasn't called an anti-semite?

"Bush has given more US aid to Africa than all previous presidents combined..."

And he's spend more money on AIDS than Abe Lincoln!

And dug up more terrorist email than FDR!

And anyway, is there ANYONE here other than Schlong-boy Johnson that GZlies hasn't called an anti-semite?

Umm... Joe Lieberman?

Oh right, you sed "here".

Other than himself and Tiny Johnson?

Nope, that's about it.

Ta fer the FF, Axe. Two in one day. Spud's on a roll!

FF fer Alex and Danforth, btw.

They know why.

Be Well.

Africans Love Bush

Would they like to keep him?

I remember Clinton going to Africa to get cheered up also. He went after the Ken Starr thing.

Correct Me if I am wrong but aren't there a lot of African bush people there?? If so this isn't a big deal for You see it's like a long lost folliage returning for a visit. They just don't understand why this "Plant" talks all funny like.

Larry Mohr

How's about they keep him and the puppeteer over there for the next 335 days ! !

Sounds like Africa does not have the Blinded by Hate Liberals like we have in America.

Africa doesn't have to live with the consequenses of Dubya's failed Reign WE Do. Unfortunately the Right is soo blinded by Partisanship that they can not or will not see it. SIGHHHHH

Larry Mohr

"Africans Love Bush"

So why don't some of them seduce him and give him AIDS then?

"President Bush was swept up in an outpouring of affection Monday in Tanzania's rural north"

YEAH!

Says it all don't it: Where Bush isn't known --- people like him!

Too Funny!

Anyway

YEAH!

As if "African Americans" actually live in "Africa"!
What a dip!

But note how in High Pockets indignation of those ungrateful "African Americans" reveals his and Bush's true motives for "given more US aid to Africa" ---- and that's to buy an Image (with our tax dollar of course)!

Cut off ALL aid to african countries. They are animals, let them kill themselves off.

Clinton never did anything for any black people but was called "The First Black President". Maybe we should give Bush the title?

(

I don't understand the people living in africa. They live in such poverty, they are always starving yet they continue to have children by the boat load.

OH...let me see if I get this right -Clinton was the first black president...but did little for Africa.....BUSH is just a dumb, white elitest, but has funneled more money into Africa than anyone.

Maybe you guys have got it wrong...yet again (like the Surge, Tax Cuts, Health Care, etc)

Oh...and Bush, his Crawford Ranch is one of the most environmentally friendly house - yet Gore and Edwards have several massive homes with virtually NO environmentally friendly features in them.

Net - Democrats talk about doing the right things ...Republicans actually do it.

Maybe you need to relook at your core beliefs and see George for what he really is ...one of the best presidents that we have ever had - one that got us through the storm of the Towers, shored up our national defense, took the fight to the enemy, restored the image of the US as the most powerful nation on the planet, cut taxes, and refocused our efforts on supporting Africa.

Uh huh. They're not dying of malaria and dysentery anymore, and unfortunately for them, they need someone like you to explain to them that the world would be better off had Bush not been born, and they had all died, the stupid bastards.

Thank God for American liberals, whose support of poor blacks ends with a carton of cigarettes and a free trip to the voting booth. Any more than that might get expensive.


Thank, God, someone said it. Bush has done more for Africa than Clinton even came close to and all the libs can do is find another way to slam the guy.

Memo to Bush haters: It's old, it's very old. We all know that there isn't a damn thing the guy can do that you think is a good thing. If you only knew how old, sick, and tired your bashing is. I don't even get upset by it anymore because every time I read yet another Bush bashing comment it reminds me of just how unoriginal you all are.

Look at how African Americans did under Clinton as compared to how they're doing now.

In 1993, when Bill Clinton took office, the median black family income, adjusted for inflation, was $27,731. When Clinton left office in 2000 the median black family income, again, adjusted for inflation, was $36,939. This was a 33 percent jump in black incomes during the Clinton years.


Since Bush was elected in 2000 the median income for both blacks and whites has declined in constant dollars adjusted for inflation. In 2004 the median black family income was $35,158. This was 3 percent lower than the median black family income in 2000, the year of the Bush election. For whites, the median income figure dropped 1.2 percent.

Reinhet...1) the discussion was AFRICANS NOT African Americans (which are primarily not African)

2) Where did this information come from ..the Dem. party web site.

Part of the caveat here is "adjusted for inflation"

All those figures prove is that clinton incrased welfare more than Bush.

"All those figures prove is that clinton incrased (sic) welfare more than Bush."

Yeah! Damn that GOP-controlled Congress (1995-2001) which passed legislation increasing welfare spending during the Clinton administration!

Hans

Stop all welfare, make these lazy pieces of shit get jobs. Life is tough, get use to it. If you can't afford it stop having babies and stop smoking crack.

Africans Love Bush

I thought this was a story about leaving our private areas unshaved. Guess I was wrong. Should I just let it grow?

Shave it.

"Stop all welfare, make these lazy pieces of shit get jobs."

Yeah! Those corporate-types at Halliburton, etc., with their hands out, grabbing all of that corporate welfare!

They need to stop being lazy and get jobs!

Leave Hans alone. He's right. Btw, 08r4ever, I would gladly shave for Hans but not for you.

No he is not. It is easy to blame "Corporate America" or some other entity when you have nothing. Try blaming yourselves for you pathetic lots in life(Not you specifically Allie).

Hans, why is that?

Africans loves George Bush --- African Americans hates George Bush.

Bob Geldod Gives Bush some Kudos, it is about time. And where is Mr. Kanye "Bush hates black people" west..What a big loser and weak-minded liberals have mad that intellectual midget a millionaire. Give me Bush anyday

"Give me Bush anyday"

I'll have to go lower case, but I concur with your assessment.
