...Bush's Secret Mission I really loved Bob Geldof's article about President George W. Bush's policies for Africa [March 3].

We elected a President who by most measures hasn't done a very good job but has a good heart. I hope that next time around we will elect someone with a kind heart and good judgment.

Geldof made clear his opinion of Bush, but in the course of the article he also paid homage to some good the President has done. I am a fan of the President (barely), and even I didn't know about the success in Africa. Too bad Bush doesn't have enough p.r. savvy to put a spotlight on this proud legacy.
