The AIDS Bill
The president signed a bill today to provide $15 Billion for AIDS treatment and prevention in Africa.This money will provide treatment to 2 millions AIDS sufferers and potentially prevent another 7 million cases.
Are “AIDS activists” grateful for this money, which amounts to $50 from every man, woman and child in the US? Of course not!
“Everyone needs to watch the president and make sure that he gets that funding to implement this bill, or else it’s a lot of empty rhetoric,” said Paul Zeitz, executive director of the Global AIDS Alliance.
There’s a lesson here that the president is already well aware of: Leftists, especially African-American leftists, are not going to give this president credit, no matter how much of their agenda he implements. Ditto the Euro-Socialists and other America-haters who try to tie the US down with their Lilliputian ropes. The president should ignore their bleating and simply do what he thinks is right.
