#1 I thought that was one of W's unheralded achievements - increasing aids funding? But I wouldn't expect the One who thought W was Satan to know that.

#2 You're exactly right, Bobby. In many parts of Africa, W is considered a hero for his anti-AIDs efforts.

#3 W Bush drove the left into a froth for several reasons. First, he strongly increased the amount of not just money, but guidance going to Africa to fight AIDS. Second, the big principles of this guidance were an emphasis on treatment, monogamy, and religious faith. Not condoms.

And third, it apparently was successful. It resulted in a serious reduction in new infections, and got a lot more treatment to those already infected.

Then, when Bono blurted out that Bush had done more for Africa than all previous presidents combined, it sent the left into a blind, dog stroke rage. They almost destroyed Bono until he quick stepped out of that, and still savaged him long after.

#5 And one more thing, 'Moose: Bush made the money available as grants, not loans, thus making sure that the African countries weren't further impoverished. He made sure the American embassy staff monitored how and where the cash was spent, and he demanded results. Of course, he was a businessman deep down so he understood the need for these things.

#6 Obama loses his cool at an election rally in Connecticut,

BO has far too much ego and arrogance. He is becoming unraveled. Two years of trying to shove unwanted legislation off on the citizens, continually running for office, reading TOTUS speeches, empty promises, and believing your own BS, can be a little wearing and stressful. The realization of not being the "ONE" can be a let down.

#7 A group of activists heckled the US president

Word is they're tied into MoveOn.
