Bush meets with the President Sirleaf of future international powerhouse Liberia

On October 22nd President Bush met with President Sirleaf to discuss their countries' relationship. Though they seemed quite cordial to each other, i felt that the two presidents were in a bragging competition. Bush talked about Liberia's bright future but was not scared to say that Liberia was in need of the United States's help. President Sirleaf then shot back at Bush and talked about the strength of Liberia and how it was growing ever stronger. In the midst of the economic crisis currently going on in the US, Sirleaf's comments were a slap in the face. As President Sirleaf stated "We've been able to put our economic and financial house in order; tackle our debt; begin to rebuild our infrastructure; put our children back into school; bring some water and electricity to a country that hasn't had it for over two decades. And so we're just so thankful for the encouragement, the support that we received from you.". Though they have received our support I don't think that will stop them from conquering us. Watch out America, here comes Liberia.
