Before you all go mouthing off, just know that bono has repeatedly praised President Bush even wrote a book about all the good thing Bush has done for Africa and third world poverty.
So why bring this up now? Why tell the press this unless you are trying to mock President Bush? Personally, I think it reflects poorly on Bono. Shows he’s not the big minded moral guy he likes to pretend.
That’s why I said he’s a jackass. I was impressed with what Bono said about Bush in Africa. I used that fact to win an argument with a BDS lib who asked me to name one good thing that Bush did. I was very disappointed to hear him say that and subsequently gloat about it.
I say again, what a jackass.
It would appear that Bono is getting ready to dunn Obama for another round of taxpayers’ dollars on Africa’s behalf and that belittling Bush will increase amount. I will think better of him, though, if he also dodges Obama’s hug and tells the world that he did so. Then it may be believable if he was trying to keep the “political photo-op” aspect out of his cause.
