President Barack Obama was in Massachusetts today helping out Governor Deval Patricks reelection effort. Speaking at a campaign rally earlier today, however, he was met with a bit of a road bump hecklers who objected to the amount of AIDS research funding his administration has so far provided. To which an angry President Obama retorted: look at what the Republican leadership has to say about AIDS funding.

Just Damn!
Now waiting for the October surprise...
Maybe they should work on prevention for AIDS.
Like free bath houses?
Didn’t Bono congragulate Bush on how much money he was giving towards AIDS? Obama is such a pussy - all he can do is blame everything on others.
I guess the Obama mantra "Just plug the damn hole" isn't a timely reminder in Mass.
But I though Barack Obama was our first gay president!
Maybe they should work on prevention for AIDS.

What does it matter what the Republican leadership might say ???
Obamas side have the voting power to say something different about AIDS funding...
If he cant get his side to do that,
Its his fault not the minority Republicans...
Yes, but they weren't talking about the GOP, you lying chucklehead.
They were talking about you!
What do they say, 0barky? Something like "Bush spent more?" LOL
What a maroon!
Ugh. He needs a vacation.

I suspect a set-up. His thugs would not allow a genuine protester ample time to embarrass “God v2.0”. I think the protester was a plant so that the Lord of the Flies had a handy excuse to bash Republicans again.
The National Institutes of Health will spend $2.5 billion for AIDS research this year, compared with $1.9 billion for cardiovascular diseases. Other diseases that receive far few research dollars include:
* Cancer: The second leading cause of death in the United States, 549,838 people died of cancer in 1999. NIH is funding the National Cancer Institute at an estimated $4.2 billion in 2002-or $7,713 for each death from cancer.
* Breast Cancer: With 180,000 new cases each year, breast cancer is the leading cause of death among American women who are 40-55 years of age. Each year about 46,000 women die of the disease. The NIH is currently spending $396 million on breast cancer research-or $8,608 per death from the disease.
* Diabetes: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 7 million Americans have diabetes-the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. In 1999 64,751 people died from complications associated with diabetes. The NIH has budgeted $450 million for diabetes research-or $6,949 per death from diabetes.
Despite the fact that since 1998 AIDS has not been on the list of the top 15 causes of death in America, the current NIH AIDS research budget amounts to an astounding $164,000 per AIDS death. This figure does not include the public monies spent to treat AIDS through the federal Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources (CARE) Act. Funding for CARE is currently $1.8 billion.
