Found the one thing, the only thing, Bush was ever praised for.
Alas, Bush accused of Aids damage to Africa
"A senior United Nations official has accused President George Bush of “doing damage to Africa” by cutting funding for condoms, a move which may jeopardise the successful fight against HIV/Aids in Uganda.
Stephen Lewis, the UN secretary general’s special envoy for HIV/Aids in Africa, said US cuts in funding for condoms and an emphasis on promoting abstinence had contributed to a shortage of condoms in Uganda, one of the few African countries which has succeeded in reducing its infection rate"
“In 2003, President Bush declared he would spend $15bn on his emergency plan for Aids relief, but receiving aid under the programme has moral strings attached.”
Recipient countries have to emphasise abstinence over condoms, and – under a congressional amendment – they must condemn prostitution."
I agree. It is very clear that Benghazi, email, etc. are going no where but they keep being pumped up by conservatives who are trying to smear Hillary. It is really a sad state of affairs when Congress spends so much time and money on propaganda and at the same time cannot do their primary job. They have spent for years bashing the President and Hillary and almost no time at all addressing the long list of serious problems faced by the country. We really need to vote these clowns out of office.
sure, a good accomplishment there. But counter balanced with the absolute destruction he left in Iraq, Syria and the rest of the mid-east. The tensions exacerbated in N Korea and Iran. Overall he left a very poor legacy.
I love how Tea Baggers drag out this one example of how Bush was a good president. Please note that it is always the example of the PEPFAR aid and no other one. Eight years in office and he did one thing right. Even a broken clock has a better success rate than Baby Bush. But then wait till we experience Jeb! III
a governor who is a college dropout cut higher education funding, and gave that money($250 million) to the milwaukee bucks for a new stadium. a former governor who is friends with incestuous child molester said the president will lead jews into the ovens. a wealthy(?) businessman hates hispanics(even though his current wife is from venezuela) thinks that they are rapists(he spousal raped his ex-wife) and criminals(his kids love going on safari and killing wild african animals legally and illegally). a former governor who shut down a bridge crossing for political payback, threw all his friends under the bus, and misspent hurricane relief money. a texas senator born in canada. a former ceo of a tech company that was kicked out of the company because of poor business strategy. and, there are so many others…..especially one that his last name in google means something NSFW.
The Republican herd is mostly aligned with spending another $6 trillion on war with Iran, plus global destruction of environoments at home and abroad, and fighting sound policies for the true defense of Americans at home, a minor program that got bilateral support in Congress with the aid budget, was NOT just “W” doing the right thing, but covering his butt to sign those bills.
I read all of these comments. Are you people lemmings. Hillary has broken so many laws, but good old Obama Justice dept won’t bring charges. It’s collusion. If it was a Republican they would be in jail now.
