I was quite surprised myself so I dug a little. The Bush trip to Africa was scheduled well in advance with no publicity. It was for LAURA BUSH who was INVITED to have a long awaited meeting with the ‘first ladies’ of Africa on education for African children among other things.
Yhe Bushes are VERY popular in Africa. I believe that the obama trip was deliberately scheduled to coincide with the Bush trip so they could interject themselves, especially michelle, to make it seem as if they were part of rhe plan so they could bask in the Bush’s glow. The obamas are as UNWELCOME as the Bushes are welcome.
Otherwise they had absolutely no reason for being there. He could care less about mandela, OR Africa for that matter. They were trying to upstage the Bushes and the Bushes were too classy to embarrass the ‘president’.

Pearl, that is quite a brilliant post and a good piece of research..

I thank you. And I ask you, is there no end to the iniquity of these people?

Speaking of research, my congresscritter has "no idea" why Reggie Love is included on ALL of these foreign jaunts.

Back to the thread.

And... of course. Thank God for Ms Bush’s ‘but you have chef’ which was her way of saying sarcasticly to Africa, “YOU HAVE FOOD!!”

P.S. The arrogant Obama’s would NEVER let Laura Bush get accolades without the African Queen there to steal the spotlight.

See post #68, you won't read this in the NYT or see it on CNN.

IOW, another STUNT (although the Mandela Timing is is also another coincidence and thus suspicious.)

The First Beard has no class, no integrity, and NO sense of propriety. Both it and the Thug in Chief are usurpers of all attention and authority and a Blank Check.

But frankly, I don't know why African "education" should be so important to Laura Bush when it's just been proven at the Zim trial that certain Americans can't read or write cursive OR speak the English language. Shouldn't Laura be visiting Miami instead?
