I sincerely doubt he meant it.
Ah, mind reading at its best. Ignoring the fact that he had people on the ground there doing charity work the very day of the earthquake - he was putting his money where his mouth is. Since Haiti is listed as a "Catholic" country, why were his people there instead of those from the Vatican? Jesus said something about those who 'say' go and be warmed and fed versus those who actually bring the blankets there and distribute the food. Prayer by itself is not "charity", boots on the ground is - check it out in the bible.
