Bless him.
The crickets that surround Bono are deafening.
As is typical with President Bush, he was extremely reticent to bring glory upon himself, much UNLIKE both his predecessor and successor.
Bush doesn’t get enough credit for defending this country from terrorist. I am sure Bush saved thousands of lives (perhaps more) here in this country. Obama will not be able to avoid this, because he is not seriously looking at the problem.
Right...my thoughts exactly...but Bono didn’t want to hug/thank the man...Bono has lost a ton of respect with me for his bragging over that.
Thank you. That is the truth.
While I didn’t always agree with President Bush, at least I knew he had this country’s best interests at heart. Not so with Mr. Obama. No-one with intellectual and moral clarity can look at everything that Obama has been doing since January and say he is acting in this country’s best interests.
I miss President Bush.
I didn't know he used his own money. Too bad he didn't care as much about Americans.
He may need to wait, but he WILL be rewarded by his Lord and Savior. He always put his faith above his politics, and that's what every Christian should do. He did what he thought was right in the eyes of the Lord.
God bless President Bush for his faithfulness. Oh, how I miss having a righteous leader!
Finally, something they don’t want to blame on Bush.
As far as I'm concerned, Bono deserves no respect any more. I figure that the only reason he's done good things is because it will make him look good. If he were doing good things because it's the right thing to do, he would still recognize and acknowledge the goodness of President Bush.
He's just a leftist wimp out for self aggrandizement.
Actually, I would like attention paid to an even bigger success story-Afghanistan. Before 09-11, it was evident that the Taliban were driving that country into the ground. Their incompetence and a long dry spell were combining to create a potential humanitarian catastrophe, one that would have claimed millions of lives.
Then, granted out of necessity, the US blew the bad guys back to Pakistan. Suddenly, the aid that they had been holding up came rushing into that country, much of it via US air and land transport. Overnight, disaster became deliverance and Afghans who would otherwise have died, survived the rule of the Taliban.
Nowhere do you see that story-only stories of opium, quagmire and Bush bashing. But generations of Afghans will have the US armed forces to thank for their lives.
Mat 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Oh please! Because of Bush and his father we now have a Marxist sitting in the WH. What he may or may not have done in Africa is relevent to nothing that is important to America.
“W” and his father were pure and simple democrats. I’ve grown to despise both men. Shame on me for being fooled into voting for RINOs—again.
I can tell you this, that will not happen—again.,
Many here do. BDS is alive and well here.
The media IGNORES just how popular GW Bush is within many African countries.
The situation in Africa was dire and deadly from a humanitarian standpoint - nothing even close here in America - and in addition our national security interests were involved in keeping African countries stable. But that doesn't indicate that President Bush didn't use his resources to help Americans too.
He and VP Cheney give huge amounts of money to people in need. It's on the record.
(btw, Obama gives...............zero).
