Remarks by the President to Embassy Personnel in Senegal, Africa July 8, 2003 http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/07/print/20030708-3.html

"This is an historic trip -- oh, there's the Ambassador. (Applause.) But we are so honored to start our trip to this continent here in Senegal.

"I had the opportunity to go out to Goree Island and talk about what slavery meant to America.

"It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in "freedom," helped change America.

"America is what it is today because of what went on in the past. Yet when I looked out over the sea, it reminded me that we've always got to keep history in mind. And one of the things that we've always got to know about America is that we love freedom, that we love people to be free, that freedom is God's gift to each and every individual. That's what we believe in our country.

"I'm here to spread that message of freedom and peace. Where we see suffering, America will act. Where we find the hungry, we will act. We're here not only on a mission of mercy, we're also here on a mission of alliance. And I want to thank you all for helping make that come true."


Has there ever been such a brain dead moran in charge of the country?
