Pretty big claim isn't it?  Guessing it came from a member of the White House staff?  Wrong!  That is a direct quote from Bob Geldolf - Irish rock singer, social activist and Live Aid concert organizer. 

In off the cuff remarks to reporters following President Bush in Africa, Mr. Geldof was very direct in blaming the mainstream media for ignoring the significant accomplishments. 

From the Washington Times:

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."

"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."What's in it for [Mr. Bush]? Absolutely nothing," Mr. Geldof said.

Mr. Geldof said that the president has failed "to articulate this to Americans" but said he is also "pissed off" at the press for their failure to report on this good news story.

"You guys didn't pay attention," Geldof said to a group of reporters from all the major newspapers.

Pretty strong statements!  I am sure we will see them on the evening news tonight.  Yeah, right!
