Mona Charen calls out liberals for not giving credit where credit's due:

Motivated perhaps by his deeply felt Christian faith (relieving poverty in Africa has become a major charitable push among evangelicals), the president has pressed for greater aid to Africa across the board. The original PEPFAR legislation ... was the largest single health investment by any government ever ($15 billion). ... In July of this year, the president requested that funding for PEPFAR be doubled to $30 billion.

Of course the left can say whatever they like about George Bush and the war in Iraq and the war on terror. But when he does something completely in line with their own stated principles and values, it is simply mean-spirited of them to deny him his due.
