I have issues with many things this administration has done, but there are several things they have improved. This policy is one. Heck, if Obama gets the nomination, I'm voting for McCain. So please don't disparage all of us. Please don't confuse liberals with Obama supporters. I have issues with many things this administration has done, but there are several things they have improved.

Why don't we have them made in Africa and help them both ways? If we can diversify even 1% of our trade deficit to China to Africa and other poor countries in the world, we can help many more people live a better life in this century.

Bush had so much potential to do great things but he chose the route of money and greed. Squandering the good will toward the US after 9/11 on a fruitless venture (Iraq). President Bush - Spend the final year of your Presidency doing good at home and around the world. At least attempt to salvage some of your legacy. Tune out the NeoCons and lead from the heart. You won't have anyone to answer to after Jan. '09 except yourself. Such a shame.

With the exception of his insistence on abstinence education as opposed to what I feel is a more realistic approach of safe-sex education to dispel a lot of the myths that are prevalent in certain African cultures, he has done a good job of committing to the advancement of the continent. Maybe its his penance for abandoning the gulf coast post-katrina, who knows...but at least is getting done. I'm certainly no fan of W, but I have to agree with Andrew Young here.
