(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I would like to start by saying I am not trying to be ignorant, or cold, I understand the devistation and loss of life in Haiti. If you have family there then I am very sorry for all of them. But how is what happened in Haiti more important to our govt then the victims of Katrina. I go to New Orleans alot and there are still houses with the number of dead paitned on the door. Our govt let people die in the sun on Interstate 90 just outside the Superdome waiting on aid. But we can get a ship (Red Cross "Comfort") with 500 nurses and doctors aboard to them in two days? Makes no sense to me. I know the US wants to be the "Big Brother" to every country so that we always have allies, but I find this distressing. WE have children not getting three meals a day, not going to school, being raised by "mom" because dad is either in another country fighting a war, or was killed there. Once agian I know people will flame me for this, but is my opinion.

My opinion is that the US are trying make their image better, also there is a lot of black people on Haiti and ofcourse Obama wants to help them, no racism.

I agree, but enough is enough. The media(TV, newspaper and radio), hell even my school, has been shoving "text 09099, help Haiti" down my throat and I am goddamn sick of it. Haiti is just another Somalia waiting to happen.

We were attacked by terrorists one time the entire 8 years Bush was in office. As soon as they did it Bush got furious and went to kill them. We have been attacked or have been attempted to be attacked on at least there times in the 1st year since Obama has been in office and he does not comment on it or anything. He is a punk!

I believe is some type of conspiracy, maybe they are trying to gain control of haiti without anyone knowing, and by helping over there, they can move US ARMY troops, and soon take over it, kinda like a Hitler act, but very stealthy.
It also pisses me off as well, and why would George Bush (he started the donation thing) care soo much about another country, when he never gave a shit about US. Not to mention probably only 10% of your donation actually gets donated, the company keeps the rest.
All I know is that it is some type of conspiracy.
