Charlie Crist is just trying to get even with the Florida Conservatives who have rejected him in favor of Rubio.
It’s helping his poll numbers.

Retired general: U.S. aid effort too slow.
By Ken Dilanian, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — The U.S. relief effort for Haiti started too slowly and cautiously, says a retired general who led the military relief effort on the Gulf Coast after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
“The next morning after the earthquake, as a military man of 37 years service, I assumed … there would be airplanes delivering aid, not troops, but aid,” said retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who coordinated military operations after disaster struck the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2005. “What we saw instead was discussion about, ‘Well we’ve got to send an assessment team in to see what the needs are.’ And anytime I hear that, my head turns red.”
The problem, Honore told USA TODAY, is that the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, instead of the military, take the lead in international disaster response.
then we need to get even and make him on the dole for good.
he wants fed money for this but even the fed has no money
45,000 coming to cities in our state and we can’t even afford to hire any cops for crying out loud.we have no jobs, not enough money for the schools, health services etc, then we would have to find money to feed them.
we’ve got vets on our streets homeless not being helped right now and who has lost everything.
I’ve got intouch with all reps about this and after reading the local papers form around our state most infact a big majority do not want them to come here either
I have family in the UK and if this happened in the UK then I would go over and help so why are not those over there not gig to help.
I see them on the TV over there standing there instead of helping why?
Many of them now are moaning we are not giving them enough of what they want.
WTH
nearly the world hate us minus the likes of our allies like Israel, UK, Australia etc but our money is good and our land and welfare is good enough for them.
when did this country become a state of ours and our responsibility?
I have no problem with helping in logistics run ways,water, food etc but the money should come from churches the left hate so much and charity groups.
China will loan him the money. He will put the bill on our grandkids. Your grandchildren will rebuild Haiti in the glorious Socialist Utopia model embedded in Obamas defective brain. Of course the flaw is that Socialism only works when Capitalism pays for it.
NARCISSIST FRAUD.
I'm surprised they don't have a comparative time line designed to contrast Obama's speed in responding to Haiti with Bush's delays in dealing with Katrina.
very true.
my oldest at just turned 12 said to me after watching the news.
“Dad if they come over there and we start to rebuild that country from scratch then where is the money coming form , I thought we had no money”
I had to tell him that he’s already paying for oabma and his spending now and then he said so my kid now will pay for this, that’s not fair I see homeless here too why are we not helping Americans instead of those who are not even helping themselves.
as maggie thatcher said in so many words
the trouble with socialism is that you run out of other peoples money to spend
how true that is why the left’s agenda has never worked any where in the world
Soon he will be announcing that school bus Nagin is his Haitian Relief Czar with Blanco as Czarina.
Rush knows the game, I hope that he starts playing it and gets obama’s goat. Someone like Rush can make obama do something that Obama wants to do that he knows is not in his best interest.
he can get Obama to show his true colors and go off the deep end.
They’re learning. But is Obama going to Boston tomorrow to appeal for Haiti? L O L !
Right but they will never stop trying. I think Rush is right Liberalism is a mental Disease. Sounds good but never works.
The reason Americans should care about “this rat hole” is that that are almost 3 million people living in Port Au Prince. Since it’s almost completely destroyed (if you believe Googlemaps), the ones that survive this immediate disaster have no place to live.
We already have a huge Haitian immigrant group in this country. The Haitian community here is estimated to be almost 1 million, with the largest percentage in Florida. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_immigration_to_the_United_States_and_Canada. All those immigrants provide a hand to help the others come over and get started here.
It’s not that difficult to get from Haiti to Florida. Remember the Haitian boat people? Over half a million came here by boat between 1972 and 1981. Once the government began to be more democratic, the influx lessened.
Unless you want Florida filled with immigrants needing services that taxpayers pay for, it would be smarter to help make Haiti inhabitable. That way they will stay in their homeland.
This timeline is a joke. There is not much there except a few briefings and phone calls.
So, let’s see, Obama made a couple of five-minute phone calls and had one call from a rep at the end of the day that likely went:
Obama - “How’s it going?”
Rep - “We’re working on it sir.”
Obama - “Okay, thanks. Let me know if anything comes up.”
Now THATS working for a living!
Wow!
President Obama single-handedly saves Haiti!
Cloward-Piven.... the more the merrier.
Well, the school buses in New Orleans are all “water-tested” so they can just float them over in the relief effort....
Obama doesn’t help in natural disasters in this Country. Took him six months to sign an emergency declaration for eastern OK last year and our doofus RAT Governor is a huge supporter of Obama.
