Presidents Day

A picture says a thousand words. What does it say of our leader that he has to go all the way to Africa to find people that like him?

The main reason for his popularity is that the fund to combat AIDS he created in 2003 has spent more than $15 billion on the continent over the past five years. The fund is the largest international health initiative ever to fight a single disease, and Bush wants to double that amount to $30 billion over the next five years. Where is his compassion for those in his own country?

A bit of compassion and common sense is well overdue for our own country, but not sure we will get there by putting Bill Clinton back in the White House.
