President Bush just finished running around Africa handing out money and smiles. On Wednesday, Bush confronted critics' concerns regarding US military policy and his AIDS plan.
Speaking in Ghana, Bush said:
I know there’s rumors in Ghana, ‘All Bush is coming to do is to try to convince you to put a big military base here.’ That’s baloney. As they say in Texas, that’s bull.
Bush also suggested that he would abandon the requirement that one-third of AIDS funding be used for abstinence education if there was proof that the approach was failing. According to Bush, the plan is unbelievably effective.

As we say in Africa, Shut up Bush!!
1am i the only one who thinks GW dropping "that's baloney" is just a little inappropes in a country that's still struggling with poverty?
2kristin most don't even know what the heck baloney is
3Is that a blanket with his picture.
4no it's a sarong.
5At least he didn't mess up "That's bull." Anyone remember "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...uh...um...you can't fool me again"?
6Casa, where do I get that blanket?!?
7colleen its a sarong or a zambia as we call it back home an traditionally married women wrap it around their waists as a kind of apron. i'm sure if you have any friends from southern or east africa they can hook you up or check out the African stores
8wonkette has this really hilarious video of bush dancing with a local woman. it's worth finding and laughing your ass off over.
