Has * given more Money to Africa than any previous President?

[Up2Late]

That was just one of the RW/WH talking points that Rev. O'Neal Dozier, founder and pastor of the Worldwide Christian Center of Pompano Beach interjected into this round table debate on "News and Notes" with Ed Gordon last week.

I'm sure most of these are nearly totally RW spin, but I don't know enough about African Aid to debate someone effectively on the subject, maybe someone here can help me with these. Here a what he said:

1) * "...has given more Moneys to Africa than any previous president, ever..." (at approx 2:00 minutes)

2) * "...has given 22 Billion Dollars to Africa" (at approx 7:00 minutes)

3) * "...has given 15 Billion Dollars of Relief to Africa"

4) * "...has given more to Social Services in THIS Country than any previous President..."

I think it might be time to "Out" another RW "supporter" who sounds like he is on the White House Payroll.

Note: This program usually has this round table with "black" Journalist, having religious leaders is not the norm.
