Obama Heckled by AIDS Activists While Campaigning in New York City

More of Obama's falsehood. George Bush spent more on AIDS research than any past President....

I don't know what they're complaining about. The budget of the NIH for next year (2011) will give more money to AIDS research than to heart disease, although heart disease kills more people in the U.S. every single year than the total number of AIDS deaths since the beginning of the epidemic! Seems to me the most money should go to the disease that is killing the most people. The stats for the highest incidents of death are: 1)Heart disease 2)Cancer 3)Stroke 4)Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease 5)Accidents 6)Alzheimer's 7)Diabetes 8)Influenza & Pneumonia 9)Nephrosis 10)Septicemia 11)Suicide 12)Liver disease 13)High Blood Pressure 14)Parkinson's 15) Assault (homicide). These are the top 15 killers in the U.S. and AIDS isn't even one of them, meaning it accounts for less than half of one percent of deaths, and yet AIDS get a disproportionate share of the funds. Political? You bet!

DONT BLAME THE CONSERVATIVES OR THE TEA PARTYERS FOR THIS DEMO. IT WAS THOSE WHO WERE INFECTED WITH AIDS AND OTHER VENERIAL ILLNESSES.

OBAMA: "she wants an increase in AIDS funding. . . . I'm sure we could do more, if we're able to grow the economy again." Translation: I need billions more for another stimulus package for the economy. Maybe this time it will work. If it does I'll give you a cut. If not, sorry. If I do get my stimulus bill passed, hey there's free money for everybody there. Free!! At least for my FRIENDS. So stop heckling me and go heckle the Republicans to give me my money. (And since when did 'grow' become a verb in this context?)

Just ignore him.

Accept responsibility for your behavior. A B S T A I N

If we would take the time to really listen, read, and reflect; we'd realize that the president has kept promised amid dealing with unforeseen emergencies. How self-centered, petty, and tunnel-visioned we are. We behave as spoiled brats; he got something and I want the same or more. We are beginning to behave as a nation of unlearned, unfeeling people. The man is a human being with feelings. He has been so determined to help the oppressed, but the masses are only concerned with themselves and their personal interests.

I've never seen a president get so mistreated, and I go back to Roosevelt. So many special-interest groups have been encouraged to pick on Obama by The Rush Limbaughs types, who have insulted our country by doing so. The majority of us saw a horrible administration get voted out, and this man seemed to represent the changes we needed. That he has disappointd us shouldn't deserve the crude and rotton treatment he is experiencing at the hands of every imaginable naysayer is disgusting. The GOP has refused to help the country they were elected to govern by snubbing him, and I say shame on them-- Vote him out, but be DECENT about it!

I am fairly certain that all of these posters gleefully see this as an unfriendly attack on the president;however, I can assure you that the GL community would NEVER support the other party.

More money for AIDS? Why? Do we not know already how it spreads? Do we not know now to avoid infection? I'm sorry, but in MOST cases, AIDS is a completely preventable disease. Let's invest our money in other diseases with unknown causes and little treatment, rather continuing to reinvent the wheel on AIDS. If we (as individuals) were conscientious and responsible in our actions, we could eliminate AIDS entirely within a generation.
