Barack Obama - 'breaks four aid pledges for Africa'
It appears that the rest of the world is now finding out what we've already learned...
Mike Pflanz reports in the U.K. Telegraph:
"US President Barack Obama has broken four campaign promises on overseas aid and risks reversing the successes of the Bush administration, HIV-Aids activists have claimed.
Key pledges to boost money for Aids funds, education programmes and poverty-reduction schemes have all been missed, the Global Aids Alliance (GAA) said.
The Washington-based organisation said that figures from Mr Obama's May 7 budget request to the US Congress set the administration on a path to breaking its campaign promises to the people of Africa."
