NBC Highlights Bush Efforts to Fight AIDS in Africa

By Brad Wilmouth | December 22, 2011 | 12:45

A  A

Thursday's Today show gave NBC contributing correspondent Jenna Bush Hager - daughter of former President George W. Bush - the opportunity to devote a report to her father's efforts to fight AIDS.

As he introduced the piece, substitute co-anchor Carl Quintanilla gave President Bush credit for the federally funded program that he pushed for when he was in office. Quintanilla:

 

Ten years ago, HIV AIDS was a death sentence in Africa. When President Bush was in office, he launched a federally funded program to save lives called PEPFAR, a program still in effect under President Obama. Today, contributing correspondent Jenna Bush Hager is here to tell us about the recent trip to Africa which sounds amazing.

Whaaaaa--?

1. Jenna Bush is an NBC correspondent? I must have missed that News Release because I was blinded by the Chelsea Clinton story!

2. I thought Bush was a racist and Clinton père was the face of US international compassion, along with what's-his-name.

3. I'm so glad that someone in the US has taken the lead to help people in Africa, who have been laid low by the scourge of malaria, which was caused by the exorbitant cost of antimalarial drugs (remediation, i.e., curing the problem after it occurs) and prevention (keeping it from happening). It's all the fault of damned Big Pharma and Big Chemicals who can't produce an affordable substance that can prevent the disease. Well, something besides DDT, which just won't do because it weakens bird eggs and ultimately may lead to human diseases (except that it doesn't, that it's completely safe for humans, and that it is the best mosquito killer, bar none, on the planet). Unfortunately, Big Chemo lost out to Big Birkenstocks, DDT was banned, and predominantly white societies in North America and Europe could sleep easier at night listening to the sounds of birds in the trees. (Thank God, sub-Saharan Africa was so far away the Big Birkies didn't hear the cries and laments of those dark-skinned people they care so much about ... in the abstract.)

Bush 43 has been championing this cause since his 1st term

Submitted by bfrank on Thu, 12/22/2011 - 2:40pm.

which shows 1) how effective and humble he is and 2) how bias the lamestream media is. NBC aired this item when the Today 'stars' were on vacation. God forbid, Matt, Al, Anne or Natalie introduce a news piece positive to Bush. They only reserve their 'skills' to play 'gotcha' with Republicans. A cold day in hell before Jenna is allowed on the 'Rock Center' set. The media cannot allow showing how immensely popular Dubya is in Africa. Did you notice the name of the health center? It is truly amazing a child can be born 'Aids-free' to a Aids-inflicted mother. Unfortunately, the news piece did not mention the correlation between AIDS and cervical cancer. Maybe, in the next segments. It was great to see this classy and humble First Family again. Can you imagine Barack and Michele doing this after they exit the White House? No, it will be off to Spain, Paris, Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard!

A little too late

Submitted by Tomorama on Thu, 12/22/2011 - 3:22pm.

Great points all, so much for the racist Rethuglican Booooooosh hating black people eh Kanye?

That would have been the "chance" for the media to say "How can Boooooosh be racist if he has done more for AIDS in Africa than anyone and IS BELOVED over there"?

Again, it was their "chance" and they instead ignored the truth.

Notice the heat Paul is getting now - FRONT page stories - 10,000 word essays etc, etc.

Imagine if they did the same to Obysmal three years ago?

Instead we got FRONT page stories about how great he was voting present and 10,000 word essays on his being black is somehow relevent and DON'T FORGET THE LEG TINGLES.

I can't believe it!

Submitted by pbthinker on Thu, 12/22/2011 - 5:32pm.

This has been the best kept secret of the Bush Administration, one which the press has purposely kept hidden, IMHO. You would hear people make references to it and praise President Bush, but there's really been little mention of it at all.

Well, Jenna has had her one report now they'll put her back in hiding.

Vote Republican - Then you'll only be called a racist one more time.

President Bush will be vindicated

Submitted by ohio granny on Fri, 12/23/2011 - 11:37am.

President Bush will be vindicated by history for a lot of his policies. We can still disagree on some of this domestic issues but history will surely vindicate him on a lot of his policies, not the least of which was his committment to fighting Aids in Africa.

God Bless President Bush and his family.
