bush-whacked (politics)
I find it ironic that Bush is apparently so loved in Africa. I doubt that his policies in general are good for the continent, and it seems to be mostly about the HIV/AIDS money that he throws at African countries. Too bad he isn’t as willing to throw money at the ADAP programs in the U.S. which allow African-Americans (among others) to access anti-retroviral medications, and instead lets them die while sitting on waiting lists that result from inadequate funding.
I guess he is more concerned about his legacy on the African continent than he is here. Perhaps there he will be remembered as a decent president, while history here will record that he was one of the most ignorant and incompetent leaders we have ever elected to that office.
