While there are some aspects of the Bush presidency that have disappointed me I think history will reveal what a good job this man has done.....

It is nice to know that someone that I consider of the left has an honest open mind.

It was expected of the nation

It's alway seems it's America's responsibility to dole money and services out to the world but there's also always the slap in the face that soon follows any kind gesture.

For that matter, why can't Africa help itself. Keep AIDS infected men from raping young girls with society's approval would be a start.

Mr. Geldof said that the president has failed "to articulate this to Americans"

Liberals can't grasp the concept of doing something from the heart or because its right. They expect you to grandstand before men and have them heap praise on you. Clinton would be doing non stop press conferences and photo ops letting people praise him.

And this article is from the Times not the Post. The MSM is so blatantly biased they really should turn in their credentials as news reporters. Only a few outlets print the truth and the big three, the NYT, the Wash Post and the LAT are absent without leave.

I do credit men like Geldof and Bono that, while misguided on issues, does give credit when due. The hyperpartisanship in this country where Bush can do no right is very disappointing. I think back to 8 difficult years with Clinton, but my life was not bitter and rancid like these people with BDS. Clinton disgusted me to the core, but he was the President. On the occasion where he did good, I did not oppose him for the sake of being in opposition.

Bush does appear to be more concerned about other countries than the US. For this country, he wants open borders and amnesty for the worst of riff raff. He was even indignant that some of us want to protect this country and called us racists.

Great job giving our hard earned taxes to third world dictators and UN pedophiles, Mr. Bush!

As long and President Bush is handing out cash, Geldof and Bono will play nice. Turn off the cash faucet and the praise will stop.

Bush doesn’t blow his own horn. Its a likable trait, but one that has kept his poll numbers lower than they needed to be.

Not that he really gives a damn.

I recall Geldolf said something similar a few years back. Basically, he said Bush is a man of his word and Clinton a liar.

Say what you will about Geldof, but he “walks the walk.”

Mr. Geldof praised Mr. Bush for his work in delivering billions to fight disease and poverty in Africa, and blasted the U.S. press for ignoring the achievement.

Mr. Bush, said Mr. Geldof, "has done more than any other president so far."

"This is the triumph of American policy really," he said. "It was probably unexpected of the man. It was expected of the nation, but not of the man, but both rose to the occasion."

Well, whadda ya know...
