Fascinating article here.
Continuation from post on Febuary 20, 2008.
It's very interesting to read Geldof's take on President Bush. I'm a little shocked by Geldof's flippant comments to the President. Even in an informal conversation, don't you still adhere to some formality? A little respect? A slight nod not only to the man, but to the office? I guess Geldof attended Blackrock University, but don't know if he graduated, but he seems to think he can pass intellectual judgment on President Bush. Thanks, drive by media.
It does seem that Geldof bears some respect for President Bush as a person. Even more important, Geldof is right that President Bush won't get the credit he deserves for his Africa policies. I'd like to see a comparison of aid to Africa between the Clinton administration and the Bush administration.
I thought it was a pretty even article myself. Obviously Geldof disagrees with the Prez on a number of issues, but he's open-minded enough to work with the President where they're on common ground - like relief for Africa. Seems like Geldof has a lot of respect for W, and that's what I found really interesting because it comes from an unlikely source. Same with Bono.
