Lookie what I found... JK, Bono, Obama & More
Bono Joins House and Senate Democrats in the Capitol
October 18th, 2005



U2 lead singer and DATA co-founder Bono joins House and Senate Democrats in the Capitol on Tuesday (Oct. 18, 2005) to urge Congress to appropriate $3.6 billion to fully fund America’s commitments to global AIDS for FY06, including $600 million for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.

Bono linked waging a war on poverty and AIDS in Africa to improving global stability, which is in America’s national security interest. From left to right: Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.); Sen. John Kerry (Mass.); Senate Democratic Whip Richard Durbin (Ill.); House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.); Bono; House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.); Rep. Nita Lowey (N.Y.); Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vt.).

2. I can't believe it -- my 3 favorite men (save my husband, of course)
all in one room. Bono is a historical fave of mine -- since 1983. JK and Obama both stole my heart in '04. Ah, to see them all together shows the true aligning of the planets, not to mention the synchronicity of my excellent taste in great public figures, who all, by the way, are easy on the eyes!

3. That is a beautiful sight.
A group of decent, caring human beings all gathered together for the benefit of those less fortunate.

One thing about dems - we have BIG hearts.

5. Either MSNBC or CNN Headline News
covered Bono's visit with President Bush. I can't remember which station it was, but they certainly didn't mention this meeting!
