The Obama administration is shifting $100 million into research efforts aimed at curing HIV, President Obama announced Monday.

A new initiative at the National Institutes of Health will be aimed at "advanc[ing] research toward an HIV cure," Obama said at a White House event marking World AIDS Day, which was Sunday.

The initiative is aimed at developing "new therapies," he said. "The United States should be at the forefront of the discoveries how to put HIV in long-term remission without requiring lifelong therapies. Or, better yet, eliminate it completely."

How about curing lung cancer so we can all smoke too?

And liver disease...?

You can’t cure a Retro-Virus.

Anyone seen Obama’s latest health report?

Avoiding sodomy and drugs would solve most of the problem.

Tenet #1 of liberalism, based on the first lie ever,

is that there will be no consequences.

HIV/AIDS is a consequence of behavior deemed by God as an abomination.

So, naturally, a lefty/lib/humanist/Satanist would want to remove that consequence or make every effort to make someone else pay for that consequence.

Here’s the cure: keep your zipper up, and don’t share dirty needles.

You can just transfer the $100 million to my account.

FReepers had ole BJ Clinton checking out a decade ago. And the boy just keeps chugging along. Caliph Baraq will be no different.

“is shifting $100 million into research efforts aimed at curing HIV”

Shifting it from where?!

[Cementjungle]

Hey, he can spend his money any way he likes. Oh wait...

[dsc]

“Satanist would want to remove that consequence”

Seems like Satan might like to have the worst of both eventualities—he could enjoy the suffering of the victims, while holding out the false promise of a cure.

I saw a picture of his White Hut on FNC this morning. It’s Christmas and the Kenyan has a gigantic red AIDS ribbon hanging from the upper balcony. Disgraceful and another shot at Christmas, IMHO.

How about curing lung cancer so we can all smoke too?

Is there a cure for Wookiee-level ugliness?

[nascarnation]

Read my tagline, LOL

[kcvl]

The $100 million in funding over the next three years for the HIV Cure Initiative will be "reprioritized," the White House said in a fact sheet released, though it did not elaborate on where exactly that money would come from.

And no one demanded he answer that?!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Bingo!

[verga]

I call BS this is a distraction form the problems with obozo care.
