Kevin Sullivan: It’s one of the best kept secrets in politics, but George W. Bush has arguably done more to fight disease and poverty in Africa than any other in our nation’s history… we shouldn’t dismiss the impact he has had on the African continent in such a short period of time. The next president will have large shoes to fill when it comes to this issue.”
I agree whole heartedly. Europeans often ignore this side of Bush’s presidency as well. We shouldn’t. Credit where credit is due. He has done a lot for Africa, he deserves credit and respect for it.

PoliGazette Comments Policy
PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree.
Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate
these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors.
Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.
(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.
(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.
(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not
include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement
the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.
Considering how much damage he did to the fight against disease and poverty in Africa during his first day in office, it would be appropriate that he tries to make up for it somehow.

Couldn’t expect anything more out of you Sy, thank you for fulfilling the projected mold.
Back to the post, there was an article about this very topic some months ago. He has done more than several Presidencies have attempted to do, and done so in a fairly quiet manner (course everything he does is in a quiet manner – not usually a good thing). Africa is the root of many current and most future problems.
