President Elect Barrack Obama Tackles AIDS issues
Chelsea Thompson – December 5th, 2008 - 12:34 PM
Over the past fifteen weeks I have been tacking three different global diseases. One of the ones I was covering was the issue of AIDS around the world. I came to the conclusion in my presentation that America as a superpower should be doing all it can to help alleviate or at least move the efforts forward to bringing an end to such a terrible, devastating disease. President elect Barrack Obama stated in a recent interview that the United States “must include a strong national strategy of education, prevention, and treatment … we all must do our part.” He said that we must keep the fight against HIV/AIDS alive and going. We should do all we can to help put a stop to AIDS around the world. His speech was appropriately given on December 1st, 2009 – a day that the World Health Organization (WHO) has set aside as World AIDS day.
I think that is wonderful that the newly elected president is already taking steps toward putting an end to HIV/AIDS. The fact that he is already making speeches about what we can do to stop it speaks volumes for his character and I think that the fact that he is trying to do something about it so early on in his presidential career could make it possible for a new wave of information and possibly a better treatment to come forward in the coming years.
