For more than the past decade, Rock singer Bono, has had a huge influence on politics and the governor. This association has been so popular as to even be part of an episode of Entourage. In 2006, Bono spoke with President Bush and other members of Congress about his "ONE" Campaign to fight AIDS in Africa. Although many do not agree with the effectiveness of President Bush, he was quoted as saying
, “The thing about this good citizen of the world is he’s used his position to get things done,” Bush said. “You’re an amazing guy, Bono. God bless you.”
I think it's pretty cool for anyone to be given a compliment by a President (no matter how good he/she may be). I think it’s also pretty cool that Bono isn’t even from America. He knows that America has an extreme amount of potential to help impoverished areas, yet we choose to spend money on other things. Some may say that this isn’t our problem, some say that we should take care of our country and they should take care of ours. Whatever stance you take on this issue is irrelevant. The fact here is that Bono did a nice thing, not only for someone else, but for an entire separate country. That’s pretty nice. Not many people can say that they do good things on such a grand scale.
Many of the charities and causes supported by Bono have to do with the poor population of the world.
