Well the G8 is over. Hopefully many of you signed that ONE declaration. Bob Geldof and Bono, two of the world’s best known Africa fund-raisers, declared victory. However, not suprisingly:
“U.S. President George W. Bush had refused to be bound by the 0.7 percent target. The United States is giving 0.16 percent of national income, the SMALLEST percentage of any of the G-8 countries.”
That’s a shocker. This country is spending all of its money sending our youth to the middle east to be killed/wounded and/or traumatized for no reason. That makes more sense than saving millions of people less fortunate than us. I recently found this interesting website:

Read some quotes from our Commander-in-Chief:
“We will stand up for terror. We will stand up for freedom.”
—Bush, speaking on the campaign trail, Oct. 18, 2004, in Marlton, N.J.
“Because he’s hiding…”
—Bush, explaining why Osama bin Laden has yet to be captured. (Washington Post interview, Jan. 16, 2005)
“What is your ambitions?”
—Bush, speaking at the Parkview Arts and Science Magnet School
“The proposal we’ve proposed will save him nearly $2,400 every year.”
—Bush, in another display of the depth and breadth of his language skills
This is who is running our country. Amazing. Just amazing.
