The abrupt departure of the State Department’s global AIDS coordinator has led to debate over who should run what may be President Bush’s greatest legacy: his commitment of billions of dollars to fighting AIDS overseas... “There are plenty of people who (will) be damned if the job is filled this way. This isn’t the truth-in-advertising of the Obama campaign.”

Well,it is a big legacy, and the guy they are getting rid of has done a teriffic job. This political decision will probably cost huge delays in the delivery of services, and even more if he chooses a political hack. The irony is that the supposedly inflexible Bush appointed an openly gay social liberal.

Bush was actually the only President who ever followed through on his committment of this kind of aid. Clinton talked about it but never did it. Bush was very generous with Africa and received virtually no credit for it.

Our current African president is probably going to solve the whole problem by bringing them all here to join his Auntie.

Maybe there will be a mass laying on of hands simul-cast on the Clinton News Network, OMSNBC, and The View.

Can you cite the constitutional authority for this?

Didn’t think so.

Besides, what do you think those nice African tyrants and despots will do with the money? Do you really think it will go to combat AIDS?

A day after Dr. Dybul’s resignation, word began to circulate among AIDS activists that the job had been offered to Dr. Eric Goosby, the director of AIDS policy in Bill Clinton’s administration...

The AIDS “crisis” is a big money maker. Thousands of new HIV+ patients are needed to keep the funding going to the machine.
