President Bush Has Made U.S. Hated Around the World
Except, perhaps, for those parts of the world not infected with post-Christian, mush-minded Euro-trash leftism:
US President George W. Bush has said he chose to stay longer in Tanzania during his five-nation African visit in appreciation of the country’s clear development plans and efficient use of American aid.
Speaking after signing a 698 million US dollars (about 800bn/-) five-year grant to Tanzania under the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) at the State House in Dar es Salaam today, Mr Bush said the country was exemplary in executing health and development programmes supported by the US.
“We go where there are tangible results (of American aid). We don’t give aid to governments which steal from their people,” he said. Mr Bush admitted that the African visit had come late in his presidency, which ends later this year, but maintained that his administration had always given Africa priority.
President Jakaya Kikwete said earlier that malaria prevalence had declined dramatically in Zanzibar under a US support programme while the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) initiated by Mr Bush was prolonging the lives of hundreds of thousands of Tanzanians infected with HIV.
The MSM hates it - a smiling President Bush being greeted by happy foreigners who are grateful for what America under his leadership has accomplished. But the MSM is forced to report things like this:
In a reference to Bush’s domestic problems, Kikwete added: “Different people may have different views about you and your administration and your legacy.
“But we in Tanzania, if we are to speak for ourselves and for Africa, we know for sure that you, Mr. President, and your administration have been good friends of our country and have been good friends of Africa.”
Over President Bush’s Administration, we have built up good will and cooperative relationships with rising Africa and India…dying Europe (and their spiritual compatriots in the United States) hate President Bush.
That is fine and dandy - we’ll take the living, and leave the dead to bury their dead.
