HE'S A FAILURE TO EXACTLY THE EXTENT HE'S DIVERGED FROM W:

Was George Bush's AIDS Strategy Better Than Barack Obama's? (Patrick Range McDonald., Jul. 14 2010, LA Weekly: Queer Town)
​

AIDS Healthcare Foundation founder Michael Weinstein came out swinging yesterday at a Washington D.C. press conference, offering up that President Barack Obama's AIDS strategy measures up poorly to his predecessor's, former president George W. Bush. [...]

At the press conference, Weinstein unveiled a new advertising campaign to put the heat on Obama by questioning who has the better AIDS policy: Obama or Bush?

According to AHF, that person is George W., who hasn't been much of a friend to the gay community over the years -- Bush once pushed for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

"President Bush created the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief," AHF wrote in a press release, "the successful U.S. global AIDS program, which has also been neglected and underfunded on Obama's watch."
