			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bush has been touring Africa, where he&#8217;s poured billions into AIDS relief and debt forgiveness.  Naturally, he&#8217;s found a warm reception, which has been totally <a href="http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=11163">ignored by the Western media</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Geldof praised Mr. Bush for his work in delivering billions to fight disease and poverty in Africa, and blasted the U.S. press for ignoring the achievement. Mr. Bush, said Mr. Geldof, “has done more than any other president so far.”</p>
<p>“This is the triumph of American policy really,” he said. “It was probably unexpected of the man. It was expected of the nation, but not of the man, but both rose to the occasion.”</p>
<p>“What’s in it for [Mr. Bush]? Absolutely nothing,” Mr. Geldof said.</p></blockquote>
