Bush tripled aid to Africa; pledges more by 2010

I’ve never liked people who either praise or bash everything the President does simply because they love or hate many of his policies. Blind faith in anything as either good or evil is never a good idea.
That said, this article deserves mention:

The president has tripled direct humanitarian and development aid to the world’s most impoverished continent since taking office and recently vowed to double that increased amount by 2010 — to nearly $9 billion.
Bravo.

Other than making yet another promise he can’t keep (he’s out of office by 2008, hopefully much sooner), I’d agree. Maybe no one has told him that being PResident isn’t like being Emporor for life.. It certainly would explain his actions
