He tries to mollify the protestors by saying the Democrat party if funding global AIDS, while 'the other side' isn't.

Of course, 0 blithely ignores Bush's President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief, which put billions into global AIDS assistance.
Of course, 0 probably voted, "present" when THAT bill came up, so he wouldn't remember it.
I don't know if I trust the Washington Post to report Obama's Senate voting record without manipulating it- but for what it's worth- he appears to be listed as 'not voting' on every bill or motion that has anything to do with AIDS/HIV, except for one continuing resolution.

We all know what causes aids and how to stop it but some folks do not want to stop their aberrant, hedonistic behavior and no amount of "funding" is going to change that.
