Obama is a disgrace

This afternoon in Bridgeport Connecticut, Obama's appearance at a campaign rally was disrupted by leftwing protesters who chanted that Obama was not doing enough to fight the global spread of AIDS. To put it mildly, this protest was moronic since the US already funds the lions share of all AIDS treatment in Africa. Indeed, one of the signature programs during the bush Administration was an increase in funding to fight AIDS worldwide of over 500% from the amount spent during the Clinton years. Treatment in much of Africa was made possible by this US program. The program has continued unchanged since Obama took office. The protestors are just idiots who are not informed of the truth.

The problem that I have, however, is not with the protestors. They are just fools. My problem is with Obama who took the opportunity of the disruption to tell the crowd that the protestors should go to Republican rallies since those are the folks who do not want to fund AIDS treatments around the world. What a disgraceful and blatant lie! The entire program to fund AIDS treatment came from the Bush Administration and it was funded by a Republican Congress. I am not suggesting that Democrats opposed the program; they did not. But for Obama to not only claim credit for the current program but to knowingly falsely claim that Republicans were somwhow opposed to their own program was a true disgrace. The President of the United States should not be a blatant liar. It is too bad that we have to suffer another two years of this man. Obama has got to go!
