Bush and the Democrats agree
According to Celia Dugger of the New York Times in her article "Bush Gets Aid Of Democrats In Fighting Pandemics" which was published on February 2 2007, the president's fighting pandemic cause recieved support from the majority democratic Congress. The House decided to rescue President Bush's international priority of the global fight against aids malaria and tuberculosis. This came as a bit of a shocker because of the ever increasing disagreement between Democrats and Rebulicans in Congress and the Presidency. However, they all seem to realize the importance of international involvment when it comes to saving lives and helping those in need. Although the war in Iraq is a tough subject among them they have decided that more attention is deserved towards these different pandemics. Bush's program has recently been caught in "limbo" and has not been used to its full potential. Congress has agreed to fund the program heavily in the fight against AIDS and the other diseases that are terrifing Africa and the rest of the world.
