Bush's Trip to Latin America--And Away From the U.S.

As we noted before President Bush left for his Latin American tour, the White House had high hopes for this trip.

Bush returns today after enduring a week of protests and taunts from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (video below). As the Washington Post noted, Bush is having a hard time shaking the various problems facing his administration, even when he's out of the country.

The Boston Globe has a column today on Bush's attempt to turn attention to poverty in much of Latin America and the U.S. effort to help alleviate it.

Stay tuned for a report tomorrow from chief White House correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh on how much success Bush had in this effort.
