Funnel monetary aid only to those countries where there is a reasonable expectation that most of the money will be spent on the purpose for which it was intended. For those countries that are too corrupt to do this, offer only aid-in-kind. For example, instead of giving them money to buy well pumps and drills, send over a crew with well pumps, drill the wells, and hook them up.
As far as forgiving loans; why not forgive loans that will never be repaid?
He appears to be tired all the time and lacks the fire he once had. He's become his dad circa 1992 really fast.
What happened to all the AIDS funding our conservative president delivered to Africa? This guy throws money around like a drunk whore. I'm a little slow, but I'm finally realizing W is a mirror image of his dad.
But the third world ALREADY is like New Orleans.
LBJ couldn't have done a better job of screwing up these sh*thile couintries.
"This guy throws money around like a drunk whore. "
More like a drunken john.
But I agree... he's turned into something other than we thought he was.

How did America get here? Looking at our roads, our cities, infrastructure, hospitals closing, lack of care for our very own elderly etc, lack of resoureces, no money for our own border security?
How in hell did we get here?
Why are we taking this?
And why is this in "personal" ??
It isn't like I didn't notice before. I thought it was a mix of campaign promises (however generous and foolish they may have been, he was honorable to uphold them, although the Dem hatred can't be bought off) and good intentions. However, with the rush to rebuild New Orleans IN PLACE for people who will never appreciate it, and now ditto for Africa, I think he may have lost his grip entirely.
I don't understand what you are talking about. Please explain.
Maybe it's something in the program?
Only one man could lead conservatives into the NWO
laughing and grinning about it...
imo
Why not ask the help. No doubt they are the ones that sent this to never never land. I'd say it was done on purpose so as not to make certain people look bad.
