Kanye was right! Bush really does hate black people
George W. Bush Wipes Hand On Bill Clinton’s Shirt After Shaking Hands With Haitians (VIDEO)
I already pretty much thought so already, I mean George did say that poor black people make him uncomfortable..at least he was being honest..this is horrible and very embrassing to our country..watch
During their first joint visit to Haiti this week, George W. Bush appears to have wiped his hand on Bill Clinton’s shirt after shaking hands with a crowd of Haitians.

Yet another amazing rescue in Haiti
It’s been over a week since the Haitian earthquake devastated the country. Sadly, at this point, finding survivors is becoming increasingly rare. Still, there are glorious exceptions — like Kiki, the young boy who flashed a million-dollar smile after being lifted from the rubble.
The rescue was captured on camera. As you’ll see below, Kiki’s older sister, Sabrina, was pulled out first. Seven-year-old Kiki comes out next, looking a bit dazed. However, after seeing the crowd, the survivor immediately smiles and extends his arms in triumph. A photographer from the New York Post described the scene and the crowd’s reaction.
After so much heartbreak and tragedy, this was a rescue that inspired the masses. When asked why he smiled so broadly, Kiki responded, “I smiled because I was free, I smiled because I was alive.”
After being treated for their injuries and dehydration, the two children were reunited with their parents. No doubt the children were happy. In time they’ll understand just how happy they’d made everyone else.
