Former President Bush and wife Laura visit Africa to promote initiative to fight cervical, breast cancer.
George W. Bush and Laura Bush wrapped up a week-long trip to Africa Friday, where they visited Zambia and Botswana promoting an initiative to fight cervical cancer and breast cancer in the countries.
As part of the charity initiative the Bushes helped open medical centers providing cancer screenings, visited sick children at an orphanage, and met with Peace Corps members, according to the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Always nice to see a man opening up new markets for American businesses such as Merck and Glaxo Smith Kline.
YOU folks are incapable of understanding polling. FROM THE SAME POLL, you have to read this component of the SAME POLL.
Yet Romney faces significant challenges of his own in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll. His supporters are more apt to be against Obama than explicitly for Romney – a "negative" vote that can be less compelling than an affirmative one. His supporters are less strongly 2
enthusiastic than Obama’s. While Obama is vulnerable on the economy, Romney is weakly rated on having offered a clear economic plan. And Obama leads on a range of personal attributes – empathy, standing up for his beliefs and, especially, basic likeability.
Obama also continues to prevail in expectations: Despite his troubles, this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, finds that Americans by 58-34 percent expect him ultimately to defeat Romney and win a second term. That’s Obama’s best on this gauge to date (previously measured against "the Republican nominee"), a sharp difference from last October, when, with economic discontent at a higher pitch, 55 percent thought Obama would lose. Today, even among Romney’s supporters, a quarter think Obama will win.
With a 47-47 percent Obama-Romney contest among registered voters, the overall results point to a sharply defined race: On one hand Obama, the more personally popular candidate, with a larger and more energized partisan base, yet weak performance scores; on the other Romney, his opportunities to capitalize on Obama’s vulnerabilities complicated by his difficulties in capturing the public’s imagination.
Helpful to Obama, given the economy, is the fact that in deciding their vote, Americans by 51-33 percent are focused more on what he’d do in his second term as president than on what he’s done in his first. Among registered voters who are more concerned about what Obama’s done so far, Romney leads by 18 points, 55-37 percent. Among those more focused on what he’d do if 3
elected to a second term, by contrast, Obama leads by 59-36 percent, a 23-point margin. It marks why he’s trying to point ahead ("Forward" is the campaign slogan); Romney, back.

Along with his SAT & LSAT scores.
That could be true, but for him, I don't get the feeling that he is listed here, unlike Mitt...
MItt Speaks to NAACP, but the response was tepid from the crowd. Ill match up the reactions between MITT and BIDEN once Biden speaks tomorrow.
NO overwhelming clapping for ROMNEY.

SINCE FOX SPEWS FELT IT NECESSARY TO DUMP OUT OF THE ROMNEY SPEECH, I find it necessary to bring it to you in its entirety.
I love the ending "if you want someone to help the african americans, Im your guy" THEN FOLLOWED BY BOOES AND HECKLES!
Great stuff!
Watch this ROBOT in action, too stupid to get off his talking points and sticking with his talking points. He walks off a speaking cliff and keeps going!
I loved how after the speech, the leader of the black caucus in congress said when asked "well, you watched the speech, what did you think?" answer "Romney should go back to his headquarters and fire his advisors"....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
I DISAGREE! KEEP THE SAME PEOPLE! Its working out great for us!
