I don't know about Tanzania, but here in California, you'd be a laughing stock if you wore something like this:

Where's the Love?
I thought they Loved Bush out there? Now they want to sit on him?
My heavens!
I was going to say awwww much better till you showed the Islamic Tanzanian Jihad!
I sure would love to get that lady's shirt! :-)
If you look closely at that one sign about America being the Master of Hypocrisy you can see that another message is underneath.
I wonder if they just keep those signs in a warehouse somewhere and just paint a new name on it depending on which countries leader is visiting?
I sure would love to get that lady's shirt! :-)
Just don't wear it backward, marie; that would be too much.
LOL Wordsmith. I think that shirt worn backwards would be rather cute, but what can you expect from an American vampire? ;)
Great post!! I was very happy to see their reception of him.
Great post Wordsmith!
It's so typical of Reuters to highlight the handful of protesters among a sea of well-wishers.
In the slideshow I saw, Reuters disproportionately highlighted the negative.
I think it's because they just can't stand the thought of Bush being greeted warmly in Africa.
The entire world hates America because of Bush, remember?
Ha! No way Word that would be too much LOL
