“excuse me, young people. You’ve been appearing at every rally we’ve been doing, as we’re funding global AIDS, and the other side is not, so I don’t see why you think this is a useful strategy for you to take.” Instead, he advised, they should “go to the folks who aren’t interested in funding global AIDS and chant in that rally, because we’re trying to focus on figuring out how to finance the things you want financed.”

Is Obama Scaling Back Bush's AIDS Initiative?
By Amy Sullivan / Washington Wednesday, Dec. 02, 2009
George W. Bush didn't get a whole lot of attaboys on his way out of the White House. But on World AIDS Day near the end of last year, the outgoing U.S. President was the man of the hour, fielding praise from global health advocates and world leaders for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPfAR, which increased tenfold the number of HIV-infected patients in Africa who receive antiretroviral treatments. At megachurch pastor Rick Warren's Global Health Forum on Dec. 1, 2008, Bush lingered to discuss this untarnished highlight of his presidency, a commitment of $15 billion over five years to combat HIV/AIDS. "No U.S. President or political leader has done more for global health," said Warren.
But now some critics are wondering if Bush's successor is doing enough.
