Catchy Title

The US is to end its 22-year ban on people with HIV entering the country, President Barack Obama has confirmed.

Originally read on the BBC News site, but it is true, you can read it here, or watch it here.

Mr Obama made the announcement as he extended funding for an act that provides HIV/Aids related health care.

“If we want to be the global leader in combating HIV/Aids, we need to act like it,” Mr Obama said

A bold statement indeed, and one he could only get away with in the early part of his first term as POTUS. Despite America electing a left-wing, black President, that President is sadly not truly representative of the vast majority of Americans.  I can only imagine the media storm that is brewing.  Obama will have this Policy decision played back to him ad-infinitum, through every argument where it serves to paint Obama as a lefty-communist-leaning-gay-hugging son-of-a-bitch in order to frighten Americas grass roots into thinking ‘Well I’ll be! Cleatus, get yo ass in here.  That there Osama basterd wants us all drinking vodka and dancing round with tea-towels on our heads, I’m gonna shoot that n***** mother f****r’.

It is a decision that will be profoundly difficult to sell to the American public, difficult to move on from, and defending it for years to come will take its toll on President Obama.   I am glad to say, it is a decision that makes me proud to be a ‘Westerner’, reaffirms my faith in humanity, and gives me immense hope for the future, you see ladies and gentleman;  Obama just stepped into the ring.
