“When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don’t advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards; we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy,” Kerry said.

A 2002 David Corn article (not exactly a BUSH fan…)
For the next seven years—while Clinton was in office—the budget for combating AIDS overseas remained flat. (It was $124.5 million in 1992.)
From a 2003 Bill Sammon article
Although Bill Clinton reveled in his image as the “first black president,” President Bush has won plaudits for doing more to help blacks in Africa, where he is visiting this week. The most prominent example of this disparity is in the funding of the fight against AIDS.
Mr. Bush recently pushed a $15 billion AIDS bill through Congress.“His $15 billion commitment is unparalleled,” said Melvin Foote, executive director of the nonpartisan Constituency for Africa. “Clinton offered $300 million, parking-meter money, even though he knew it was a tremendous challenge.”
Even liberals have credited Mr. Bush with doing more than his predecessor to help Africa. In May, Live Aid founder Bob Geldof said Mr. Bush is far more committed than Mr. Clinton to fighting AIDS and famine on the continent.
oh and on Sunday? (see below) thanks John
