B+ for G.W.


Kudos to President Bush (see… I don’t just bash him) for his insightful and proactive approach to what could be a “new pandemic.” (“Pandemic”: Bush’s new word of the week. Okay a little bashing. I can’t help it.)

With surprising forethought, the Bush administration is planning ahead in preparation for the deadly possibilities of a bird flu outbreak. Very wise, very astute, and just when Bush’s approval rating is at a record low. Coincidence? Who knew public health was a pawn for political popularity? To bad Reagan's numbers were so good in the 80s; maybe we have an AIDS vaccine today?

Dear George W., with 40 million people infected with H.I.V. worldwide, Bird Flu may be a new pandemic but it is certainly not the only one we should be working against. B+ for effort.
