Clinton AIDS

 In his post-presidential life, Clinton has been rushing day-by-day to touch as many lives as he can. Among his countless organizations is one that improves AIDS treatment. Here he spoke at the International AIDS Conference. The National Geographic reports:
Mexico City--President Clinton addressed the International AIDS Conference here.
Reacting to the recent announcement by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that there are 56,000 more new HIV infections a year than had previously been reported in the U.S., Clinton said: "For Americans, this should be a wake-up call. Even as we fight the epidemic globally, we must focus at home. And I intend to do so with my foundation."
Is it possible if he decided to devote his fame to one cause, he could help that one cause significantly more than all the proverbial pies he is trying to stick his finger in? Much like Al Gore dedicated himself to the spread of awareness for global warming, Clinton could create so much more help for individual causes. If he one day does decide to do so, hopefully he chooses AIDS. Then again, it's possible that he has enough fame for all the causes that he is promoting.
