do not flame this post, read it and think about what i'm writing before you swear at me. this is not a comment on his economic successes, nor is it a comparison between him and shrub. the reason I didn't like him is because during his entire two terms in office, he never acted like he gave a rat's ass about anything happening in Africa, or many other poor, minority nations. (don't cite statistics to me about any AIDS research initiatives he began. he also started was a blanket supporter of all those MNC's setting up camp in poor countries and exploiting the people).

but I distract myself. anyway, nothing was done about atrocities in rwanda. nothing was done about civil wars in the sudan, congo, etc. he never pressured Mugabe or other leaders to stop the corruption in their countries. he was just like everyone else before him and since, treating africa like a nation of dark, godless savages.

look at these pics/articles and see if you think something shoulda been done.

anyway, that was my rant for tonight. i could never get around his inaction towards that issue. don't ask me if i'd rather have shrub instead of him.
