Many residents compared Bush's hour-long visit unfavourably to the island tour by former President Bill Clinton in 1998. "When Clinton came, he shook hands, people danced," said former Mayor Urbain Alexandre Diagne.

Several things these backward, third-world people need to realize: 1) Clinton was a hustler, he wanted, he HAD to be liked by all, Bush is a real man, he could care less what you think about him, 2) These people are probably mad because Bush is the first American offical that didn't apologize for slavery, nevermind the fact it was their OWN people, even kinfolk, that sold them into bondage in the first place, 3) The decendants of those slaves now in this country need to get down on their knees and thank God every day for taking them from their backward hellhole and bringing them to America!

"The decendants [sic] of those slaves now in this country need to get down on their knees and thank God every day for taking them from their backward hellhole and bringing them to America!"

You serious? What did GOD have to do with the process that brought their ancestors to the plantations of the Caribbean and the American South? It's more than a little blasphemous to suggest that He was responsible for the horrors of the Middle Passage.

Sorry, but I think it's a bit late in the day to try to justify the slave trade.

These people are mad because they didn't get to sell their trinkets to the Americans.
