George Bush is a truly great President. Just read his speeches and see how he has moved US foreign policy from supporting dictators to promoting democracy. No other US President has done more for Africa and he has donated 80 billion to help aids on that continent. It sticks in the craw of the evil-minded racist, anti-Semitic Liberal Left Democrats to have a truly good man as leader of the free world. A man who saved 25 million Iraqis from the hell of Saddam, overturning years of support for this dictator and resisting desperate attempts by the French, Germans and Russian to keep him in power.
