Bush Visits Nigeria by smile4kenn(m): 10:11am On Dec 05, 2007
United States President, Mr. George Bush, is billed to visit Nigeria as part of a weeklong tour of the three major regions of Africa.
Administration officials said the trip, billed for late January, is part of Bush's plan to keep Africa on priority list of the next American president as he begins the last year of his administration. He is also expected to push for more funding and continuation of his Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, one of the few fruits of his campaign promise of compassionate conservatism.
Critics have accused the Bush administration of abandoning Africa and doing little to assist the continent in both economic and health issues. In response, Washington had set up the controversial military command, known as AFRICOM, which has drawn further criticism that the administration only want to protect its oil interests.

Top administration officials are already counting down to the exit of President Bush. A big part of next year is already blocked out, in part, because of the three or more international summits that Bush needs to attend, as well as a jaunt to the summer Olympics in Beijing. Subtract two weeks for the national party conventions and time already looks short.

I can't stand this Guy. One thing I like about him though is his firm stand on issues, unlike the politically correct Democrats the chronic hypocrites and flip floppers. Still love the Dems and can't stand the Reps.

Bottom line: I can't stand Bush.
