The Press: Incurious and Slow
What has George Bush done lately?
I know I've posted on this topic, before; but am too incurious to dig it up. He's done more than people are willing to give him credit for, when it comes to humanitarian projects and expressions of compassion for people.
I know some conservatives don't like to see financial aid "wasted" on ungrateful countries and believe that the AIDS crisis is overblown. And that "compassionate conservatism" is merely liberalism by another name. Maybe so. But then why won't liberal critics embrace and acknowledge the "good deeds" this President has done during his tenure?
This is what the media thinks of the actions of George Bush (Hat tip: The Media Report):
So what U.S. President has done more on behalf of Africa?
