AIDS Hype In Africa? No HIV Test Required, Disease Defined Differently Than In U.S.
There have been some systematic AIDS blood testing studies done in Kenya and parts of Africa over the past few years for the first time. The results of the testing, done by a US company on behalf of USAID, have shown a marked decrease in the number of AIDS cases versus the UN tallies, both in Kenya and other parts of Africa.

since his grandfather and father were both muslims, doesn't that make him "mulsim" by muslim protocol?
No. Barack Obama is not a Muslim.

Here's a profile on Obama that details his life (so far):
http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1511
He is a liberal (politically and religionally).
But I won't fault the guy and his wife for "stepping up".
Sure, what they did with the HIV test is a bit of grand-standing, but
parts of Africa are in such a mess with HIV that Obama and wife have
dun' good this time. (IMHO)
He used a bit of celebrity to get people to take care of themselves
(and spouses and children).

Obama is a member of the
Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. It's a very liberal church. And no doubt Obama is a social liberal in moderate's clothing.
But that doesn't make him a Muslim, as the kill-all-Muslims FR contingent seems to always suggest on every Obama thread. That's simply not true.

Are you making a thinly veiled reference to practices once employed by The ReeeeeeeeeeVeeeeeeeeeReeeeeeeend Jackson?

I wonder if he brought his own needle for the test?

Screaming crowds welcome U.S. senator 'home' This is the lead story on CNN's website. Iran taking the next step toward nuclear production is 10th. Luckily there is no left wing bias at CNN.

An empty Clinton-ish gesture,,, I hope he asks Bill and Hillary to take one as well, before Obama and Hilklary start posing together on stages as running mate for thew 2008 campaign.
