He is sure moving fast...I guess he doesn't want to be criticized like his lackluster response to Fort Hood and the underwear bomber.

"Obama adjusted his Wednesday schedule, canceling a jobs event in Maryland to better monitor the situation in Haiti."

I don't know about you, but maybe a job summit would come in handy, specially if we're sending even more money overseas.

Obama’s Katrina. No resource will be spared. Good for his global poll ratings.

Any other president would help out too, but the difference with Obama is he’s seeing it as a way to boost his sorry ratings.

The TOTUS must have gotten a firmware upgrade or something.

He obviously can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. Can’t the guy multi-task?

All of Haiti’s population will be brought to the United States. Haiti’s disaster is ultimately our disaster.

Or maybe its just because Haiti has a predominantly black population?Either way,I`m convinced that he doesn`t like white people,look at his association with the so called Reverend Wright,his staunch defense of “social justice” and affimative action, and his comments about his own grand mother.

It’s the USA sending our aid money and support, Narcissist-in-Chief, not YOU, YOU, YOU!

That is pure BS. He could monitor it no matter where he was. The WH travels with him and being in MD puts him a few minutes away regardless.

Puns and differences aside, Haitians need help badly. The best thing the US military can do is disperse help themselves, to not let the Haitian government get involved whatsoever. Those corrupt officials would fit in a Democratic ticket like a glove.

He should act fast regardless of the motivation. The human suffering there must be incomprehensible.

It's the right answer.

Potentially 1mil homeless, 100k dead.

No fresh water. No food. No medicine. No shelter.

An ENORMOUS disaster.

To prove your point, IIRC Marxist Obama asked for relief donations to be sent to the WH!

This is sooooo....."ME!".

(And, this is soooooo contrived.)

In fact.

One could say that Marxist Obama is... CAPITALIZING on the disaster, n'est ce pas?
