Obama Gave AIDS Prevention Efforts $4 Billion And all He Got Was This Lousy Heckling

Following the Democratic fundraiser heckling last month, President Obama was treated to another round of AIDS activists interrupting his prepared remarks, this time at a speech in Connecticut to drum up support for Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal. “Excuse me, excuse me young people,” Obama told the zappers. “You’ve been appearing at every rally we’ve been doing. And we’re funding global AIDS and the other side is not, so I don’t know why you think this is a useful strategy to take.” So there!, says the guy sending another four billion to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. It’s like Tea Party activists who hate on Obama for his taxation, and have absolutely no idea he actually granted tax breaks to 95 percent of Americans.
