I wonder why Tanzanian girls should show any interest in the pets of
American presidents.

Dar es Salaam, TANZANIA, UNITED REPUBLIC OF: Jenna Bush, daughter of US President George W. Bush, watches children perform 13 July 2005 at the Equal Opportunity for All Trust in Dar es Salaam. Jenna and her twin sister Barbara are accompanying their mother, US First Lady Laura Bush, on a week-long trip to three African countries focusing on education, HIV/AIDS and women's empowerment, following last week's G8 50 billion USD pledge to erase African debt.

Embrassing maybe not but some what silly...yes.

A picture of her dog haha I mean really, like the kids have never seen a dog before.

COLTRANE,

Its called pr.Take some pictures with the natives and appear to care.Its as old as the hills.

Coltrane,

Actually, I'm shocked that Bush let his daughters do there considering the things that he did in Senegaland Uganda. Far as this picture, I don't see anything wrong with Jenna showing the children a picture of a dog. She probably did that because she figure that some of those kids may like animals and they may like her dog. There are people who have never seen dogs in their livesthough those kids probably have. As an African American, there are some Africans and some Asians who tell me that they have been close to ceratin exotic animals that I have never seen and in some case wouldn't even dare to go to there with it. I wouldn't find it embarassing if they showed me a picture of it because I wonder about it. We know that Bush isn't dealing with a full deck, but far as what Jenna did, unless like her dad, did this for a publicity stunt. I will have to disagree with you on that one.

okay

africans are not a nation of *dog lovers*, so giving an african a picture of a dog is like giving a hetrosexual alpha male lipstick........................

Bush the most dumbest family ever

Thank you soofresh..you just nailed it

tell them..pet pictures doesnt inspire us........................and the bush baby should have known better

but then again thats a bush baby for you

lol.................

if i was that kid i would have had a shit in front of her and used the polaroid to wipe my ass with................the only use.



is their a whole family as dumb as the bush family.............?

I bet you would

apparently there are some in the House of BUsh who are quite brainy..for a start..Jeb is said to be very intelligent

I still blame Bush senior as he didnt stel enough money so his kids wouldnt be hustling like they are now

It is funny that some speak of Africa as a nation when it is clearly not. Especially those who see them selves as thequintessential africans.

This kind of reminds me of when George Foreman brought his dog (don't remember the name in English) to Zaire (Congo or DRC). The same kind of dog had been used by the Belgians to "abuse" (euphemism) the Zairians. Didn't make him (Foreman) popular at all.

However you must ask yourself what kind of person she is. She is most probably a n upperclass brat (feels redundant/unnecessary to use brat). Maybe she is like most americans (yes even the blacks ones are sometimes guilty of this) and think all africans live in huts made of elephant crap (this kind of means that all african countries have elephants).

So ye can't really blame tha girl. It's plain ignorance and Bush-heritage rather than stupidity...wait isn't that the same...

Either way she might also believe thatTanzanian children like many other children in the west might actually like dogs/pets. But then again, of all the things America has to offer (the statue ofliberty, Lil'Jon even Las freakingVegas) she choose a picture of the Presidents petsconfused3. Makes you wonder. I really don't think a dog would impresse your average tanzanian child. But then again I might be wrong

I don't want to be rude Col, but really, you have exegerrated the issue a bit. We are after all talking about the Bush Family. It could have been far far worse. And you know it. If this was the worst they could do, the world would be happy.

But a sizeable number of posters are very prejudice. I am simply giving you a hint and tip. Sorry If I came of rude. Simply so you know the environment
