Jake Tapper from ABC News asks why Barack Obama "is speaking today about Haiti, for the third time in as many days":
White House officials say . . . Haiti is in dire straits. This is a nation that had little to begin with. As opposed to what might be the case had the earthquake struck elsewhere in the hemisphere, Haiti has nearly no ability to deal with this severe crisis on its own.

Obama, go be president of Haiti, please.
BINGO!!! You nailed it.
He is a community organizer thats what he does. Only this time he dosen’t realize what he is in for. Its gonna be a real mess.
Today's “Stating the Obvious” award.
See my post #7 above for the answer to your question.
The comments are almost entirely anti-Obama - that he’s politicizing this for his own benefit, that he’s distracting attention from the healthcare mess, that he’s campaigning for himself, etc. Quite a laugh for the alphabet network.
Obumbler, The Imperialist.
You poor misguided people. Don’t you know: 0bama speaks and food and clean water magically appear. All fear subsides. (sarc)
This is a very emotional issue, but in the 2 short speeches I have seen, Obama seems anything but emotional. He sounds robotic, with very awkward pausing and phrasing, swiveling his head right and left as he reads from something on a podium. He never says anything that sounds like it comes from his heart. More of us should actually listen to his speeches (unpleasant as that may be) before commenting on them.
Even worse is what I heard Michelle say today, that "my husband and his administration" and then something about sending help to Haiti. No, Michelle, it is the American people, the American taxpayers and the American military who are sending help, as they always do.
It’s not set in stone because George Soros made a phone call and said, “Don’t you dare relocate my slave labor!”

From the article:
“Representatives from George Soros’ Open Society Institute told The Associated Press about a planned partnership with Haitian shipper Gregory Mevs and help from the IADB to build a $50 million free-trade zone of clothing factories near the Cite Soleil slum.”
Yes.
He shares a dark secret with them.
I read somewhere that the Clinton administration gave over 3 billion dollars to Haiti in aid.
Wow!
I was not talking about his delivery... I was saying he only weighs in on emotional issues.
Substantive issues????... forget it!
He needs a disaster to cover up his disastrous administration and agenda.
They remember what happened to Bush after Katrina and they want to make sure they don’t get painted with the same brush. It’s all about Politics all the time.
Well, given that the populace in Haiti is his “favorite color”..........................
?
Because it’s more screwed up than us, and there’s nothing like a disaster to draw attention from the man behind the curtain.
