It's not coming from me. No, it's from a most unexpected source, a popular music star long known for his philanthropic work, Bob Geldof: http://video1.washingtontimes.com/fishwrap/2008/02/bob_geldof_in_rwanda.html. It seems as though the Bush 43 Administration has done "more than any other" presidency in helping Africa deal with disease and poverty, and Mr. Geldof is ticked off that no one seems to be reporting on this.
While I am pleased that at least one entertainment figure out there is not suffering from BDS, I have to ask why he is surprised? Did he expect the MSM to suddenly deviate from its mantra that everyone in the world hates President Bush? Why in the world would (for example) the New York Times or Washington Post ever want to report on that? No, it's left to "conservative" publications such as the Washington Times and Investor's Business Daily (http://www.investors.com/editorial/editorialcontent.asp?secid=1501&status=article&id=288317081951060) to publicize this story.

Kudos to Mr. Geldof! This is especially surprising coming from a European. Wikipedia has an interesting article on his political beliefs.
