Bono, Why don't you take your "has been" celebrity status advice and stick it where the sun don't go . I get a little flustered when people with an elevated media status like Bono offer foreign policy advice to America . How the US. handles foreign policy , internal policy is none of your business ! All one has to do is look at is how these celebrities home countries have handled either the refugee problems , or look at their own terrorist policies .
I often wonder just what kind of elevated sense of ego -centric self grandiose personalities makes one believe that they know more than the people who do these jobs , state department employees like , ambassadors , state dept. heads , diplomats , More than once we have watched celebrities who believe that they know more than someone who's actually far more practiced in diplomacy. And usually they are self described , pseudo- liberals .
Bono ,do us all a favor just go home , no ones listening .
Sounds as if you were.
Don't know what he said. Don't care. I'm with you. An entertainer is just that. I am not entertained by their opinions on politics and have no interest in hearing them.
I know... I agree. Bono's so up himself, it's unreal. I also hate it when Obama tells the British public that they should vote to remain in the EU. None of his business how I vote.
Bono may have been required to speak up. There are so many celebrities speaking out these days that definitely don't have some basic facts, or they would not be saying what they do. Some do have their facts right and speak truth. .
Another bunch ,Tim Robbins , Susan Sharenden , Katy Perry and just about every rapper there is , rich upper class blowhard , celebrities somehow grow a conscience when they become famous . They come to all the political gatherings on private jets collecting their million dollar incomes and life styles tell us how they think we should act with ours and then get back on their jets and fly to their next filming sight .
What a selfish bunch of total hypocrites !
