Bush is Back in Latin America


GW is heading south again but won't make Argentina one of his stops after his last visit in November of 2005 when Argentines took to the streets in protest and burned McDonalds and the Bank of Boston. Or perhaps the Bush twins made such a scene when they came here to celebrate their 25th birthdays - for two full weeks - that he's not too eager to return.

Check out this article on his jorney south, quoting the President saying "The working poor of Latin America need change, and the United States of America is committed to that change." Really?

The article also mentions Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, "a fiery leftist who recently called Bush the "king of liars," [will] also will be on the road. He'll host an anti-Bush rally in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Friday in advance of Bush's stop in neighboring Uruguay." Can't believe I'm gonna miss this one!
