ReplyDeleteDrew your comment is typical leftist distortion. Bush has done more for Africans than any POTUS, his work to eradicate Malaria and AIDS has saved thousands of lives alone. do you have any idea how many innocent civilians have been blasted to smithereens from Obama drones? Do YOU not know that all of the so called Bush policies you spew venom about have been put on steroids during the Obama administration? for thelove of God do yourself a favor and EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THE TRUTH
