Hey brain dead liberal Abby and her in concert brain dead libtards........... How's your two-bit phony "president" doing, living up to the promise he made to you sick phuxs.............?? No where. As I said, it cannot be done. He lied. You bought it. Dumb phucking libtard Marxist stooges, useful idiots.

All that is a waste of time and money. HIV-AIDS needs to have a cure. Not cheap medicine to sustain people that have the disease. I'm sick of this Sh!t for real. That girl should've asked Obama if he's going to break the patent on the HIV/AIDS virus itself that was created as a war weapon and means of population control. This virus is a terrorist. What a pathetic way to control the population. Picture it as drug companies and govt putting on gas masks and spraying poison in the air.

Yet again, another deliberate lie on the part of Barack Hussein Obama.

And no one at Cornell called him on same.

Fact: Neither the Executive Branch nor the Legislative Branch (individually or in concert) possess legal position/authority to break ANY patent. Obama once again lied! Only the Judicial Branch holds that potential highly complicated and many years in court power and they would not do same in the face of a held patent. Bottom line; patents remain intact and Obama is a liar.

A realistic thing to do is to work WITH drug companies and countries and providers to lower the price of drugs and increase their distribution so that drug companies can make a very modest profit saving people's lives. That's what the "evil" drug companies do.

Bill Clinton and Bill Gates (I hate Microsoft, but at least he's doing something good with his money.) are doing just that.

I am a capitalist Democrat who believes strongly in giving everybody a fair chance.

I must say your idea is crazy. Once you graduate and have to find a job paying money! Who will produce that drug that costs a lot of money and give it away for $1? Who will produce any new drugs for AIDS if they are going to lose money on it? Perhaps you are independently wealthy and you can pay billions for such a drug.
