Dear Mr. So-Called President: No More Words and No More Promises on AIDS

December 1, 2007, World AIDS Day

In The United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief”, the so-called President Bush stated:

“Our nation pledged $15 billion over five years for HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care in many of the poorest nations on Earth…This investment has yielded the best possible return – saved lives.”

Please, let me stop laughing.  The so-called President has oftentimes promised much and then provided little to nothing for AIDS, Education, Ethnic Minorities, the poor, the disenfranchised, etc.  Now, he ‘pledges.’  Pledges.  Berlin said it best:

“No more words

You’re telling me you love me while you’re looking away

No more words, no more words

And no more promises of love

Please Mr. So-Called President, no more promises, show us the money!
