George W. Bush, the best president of the Americas… ever.

From a White House press release.

President Bush Discusses Western Hemisphere Policy

From his address to the Hispanic Chamber at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. Monday, some selected quotes from the president:

THE PRESIDENT (of the United States): “Thank you all. (Applause.) Please be seated — si ntese. Buenas tardes. Gracias por la bienevenida. For those of you not from Texas, that means, good afternoon. (Laughter.) And thank you for the welcome. I’m honored to be back again with the men and women of the Hispanic Chamber. I appreciate your hospitality”.

Through the Overseas Private Investment Corporation , Bush has arranged for more than $100 million that is being used to help underwrite mortgages… to working families in Mexico and Brazil and Chile and the countries of Central America. The President is expanding the program: “Now we’re going to provide another $385 million to expand these programs and help put the dream of home ownership within the reach of thousands of more people in our neighborhood”.

Note from D.A – He is also allowing the American banking industry to open accounts, issue credit cards and make mortgage loans to illegal aliens here at home…in clear violation of existing American law.

“More? Try this from the decider: “…$250 million to help the entrepreneurial spirit flourish in our region“. ( Micro loans – Latin America)

Note from D.A. – Remember this: Remittances, money sent back “home” by foreign citizens (aliens, legal or not) from the U.S. to Mexico totaled $ 20 billion in 2005 and $23 billion last year.

$23 billion here, $ 23 billion there, pretty soon it adds up to real money taken out of the American economy – particularly when the American taxpayer is forced to foot the medical and education bill of the senders.

The Bush administration is working to cancel out debt by $4.8 billion! “That works out to about $110 for every man, woman and child …in Bolivia and Guyana and Haiti and Honduras and Nicaragua”. says the president.

Bush is using one of our Navy’s medical ships, the Comfort to provide health care to the poor and uninsured! Altogether, the Comfort’s doctors and nurses and health care professionals expect to treat 85,000 patients and conduct up to 15,000 surgeries. To quote the President of the United States: “These are people who need help. These are people who might not otherwise get the basic health care they need to realize a better tomorrow”. He is referring to people in Belize and Guatemala, and Panama, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, and Peru, and Ecuador, Colombia, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname.

The American President goes on: “Since I took office, we spent nearly $1 billion on health care programs in the region, all aimed at sending a message to the people of Latin America: We care for you”.

Note from D.A. – Wounded American veterans in Walter Reed Army Hospital (USA) hospital are living in filth with cockroaches, rats and mold. The message to American veterans seems clear enough.

Because of budgetary shortages, Veterans Administration regulations dictate that Category 8g vets (American vets) are held up to a means test and denied the free medical care they were promised as young recruits.

The Bush administration is not taking adequate care of American veterans. Maybe if they began to speak in Espanol…

Maybe this is the definition of “irony”? About six months after the American House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security released a report ( A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border – read the first 6 pages) outlining – in detail – the crisis on American borders involving organized smuggling of drugs and people while clearly stating that Mexican drug cartels control American borders, Bush boasts to the Hispanic Chamber that he has spent American taxpayer dollars training other nations in the fine art of combating drug dealers and human smugglers. “…In El Salvador, we opened one of our international law enforcement academies. The new academy is helping governments in the region build effective criminal justice systems, by training law enforcement officers to combat the drug lords and the terrorists and the criminal gangs and the human traffickers…”

The same House report says between four and ten million people crossed our borders illegally in 2005.

In a war on terror.

Someone remind me again…for what exactly was Clinton impeached and what is the job of the American press?
