Gee, if the concern was more about the extreme disparity in capitalism between the world's rich and poor, they might actually have a chance at solving some problems.
I think I'll side with Jesse Jackson on this one...
"STAY OUT DA BUSHES!!!"

Barbara Bush will speak out about the extreme disparity in health care between the world's rich and poor at a National Press Club luncheon on Wednesday, May 26 and describe what the non-profit she heads is doing to improve public health in underserved communities here and abroad.
Bush, 28, is the president of the Global Health Corps (www.ghcorps.org) , a group she helped found two years ago with input from her sister Jenna. The organization places recent college graduates in yearlong fellowships aimed at improving health care access. The first 22 fellows were assigned to 12 project sites in East Africa and the United States and this year the goal is to place 36 fellows. Global Health Corps partners include the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative, Dr. Paul Farmer's Partners in Health, Covenant House International and the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
A 2004 graduate of Yale, Bush interned for a children's hospital in Capetown, South Africa, and for UNICEF in Botswana and has traveled extensively in Africa with the UN World Food Program. "It was frustrating that most kids were suffering from totally preventable diseases, like malaria and diarrhea," she has said of her time in Africa. "It made me think – how can we solve these issues if the same people keep asking the same questions?"

... as he steps off his private plane.
Marxist progressive humanism is no solution to the well being of human beings. It is the wrong economic model for something that requires the generation of wealth. It is troublesome that someone with Barbara Bush’s circle of influence would speak as if she were ignorant of these facts.
This wouldn't be the media making up a headline to infuriate and divide the GOP, would it? NAAAAAAAAH.
Pres. Bush was a damn fine president. I’d take him over Obama any day and for that matter, I’d take him over nearly every one of the talked about Republican candidates save Sarah Palin. I don’t give much attention to anything muttered by the women in the family.
I loused up the link, the phrase is indeed used on her organization’s website:
Thanks!
He did push a lot of progressive ideas along with Teddy, also, and the Faith Based initiative idea which now allows a government TAKE OVER of all the religions. Good Grief!
We tried to love him and he did have some great, presidential moments but I was also quickly getting sick of his intentional lie telling us Islam is a "Religion of Peace"! I was literally throwing shoes at the TV set.
A private plane he earned.
This silly ROP stuff sounded more to me like wishful propaganda intended for Middle East ears, trying to “change the tone” of Islam in terrorist nests. Instead, militant Islam changed America’s tone.
Either way, America ends in ashes -- and America has been the anchor for the free world.
Time to apply The Three SOVEREIGNTY NOW! Questions, before it is too late.
dear god, could everybody just stop this help the poor over there by giving them money / food / healthcare / weapons whatever and just admit by giving them a decent government they could acquire these things on their own
I support President Bush, and I don't care if you call me a "bushbot" to try to diminish it.
As far is this article is concerned, all I'll say elsewise is that I was once a college idiot who thought I had the world figured out. Not sure if this is the case with Barbara, or the media trying to eff things up again.
DDT is still used in many parts of the world, including Africa. But misquitoes have developed strong resistance to it, making it far less effective than it was just several decades ago.
To complicate matters further, in order for a DDT program to be effective, it has to virtually blanket a whole area, which increases human exposure to the toxins. If people do not want DDT sprayed on their property, the effectiveness of the whole program for a targeted area can be jeopardized
The chemical is quickly absorbed into the animal population and becomes abundant in human food supply.
it is not harmless to humans or animals. DDT can cause major hormone disruption, birth defects, miscarriges, and other reproductive issues in people. There is strong evidence linking it to some cancers.
Young skull full of mush. College can do that.
You nailed it. We will have a hard lesson in history when the world experiences the consequences of this clown called Zer0. At least Bush understood the role of the United States in the well-being of he world. Zer0 does not have a clue and if he causes the United States to fall, the entire world will go like dominoes.
Pres. Bush was a damn fine president. I’d take him over Obama any day and for that matter
******
What high standards.
Now wonder we’re $14 trillion in debt.
Bin Laden said in an early tape his goal was to bankrupt America.
Bush has helped him closer to that wish.
But I believe it is clear that he, George Soros, Bill Ayers, Joel Rogers, Andy Stern, etc., know just what they are doing.
