Obama breaking four aid pledges?

I've been looking for more information regarding an article I read saying that President Obama is breaking promising regarding foreign aid.

"US President Barack Obama has broken four campaign promises on overseas aid and risks reversing the successes of the Bush administration, HIV-Aids activists have claimed.

Key pledges to boost money for Aids funds, education programmes and poverty-reduction schemes have all been missed, the Global Aids Alliance (GAA) said.
The Washington-based organisation said that figures from Mr Obama's May 7 budget request to the US Congress set the administration on a path to breaking its campaign promises to the people of Africa."

Is any of this true and if so, what does he plan to do instead?

And do tell what you find.

They're upset because Obama promised $50 billion over five years and instead they're getting $51 billion over six years.

That's the smartest complain against Obama I've heard all week.

Budget continues to increase global AIDS funding

President Obama's international affairs budget includes $7.6 billion for global health programs, including $5.6 billion to combat HIV/AIDS.

That compares to $4.8 billion that President Bush included in his final budget for global HIV/AIDS work. Bush made global AIDS relief a central part of his foreign policy, and U.S. funding dramatically increased under his administration.

It appears the U.S. effort will not slow during Obama's administration.

In a release, the State Department said the budget would put the U.S. on a path to double foreign assistance by 2015. "This funding will help the world's weakest states reduce poverty, combat global health threats, promote broad-based economic growth, govern peacefully and expand democracy worldwide," the release said.

On global health issues, the budget would also provide $585 million to support malaria programs, with an eye toward reducing deaths by 50 percent in each of 15 priority countries. Bush's final budget included $300 million for programs on malaria.

Overall, Obama's budget request for international affairs totals $53.9 billion, an increase of 9 percent over fiscal 2009.

It also includes $3.4 billion to address global food security, and $579 million in foreign assistance for climate change. Those funds would promote the adoption of clean energy technology, help countries adapt to climate change and encourage sustainable land and water management around the world.

Obama would work to double the U.S. Agency for International Development workforce of overseas foreign service officers by 2012.
