Here is video of the Hatian Ambassador to the U.S. talking with Katie Couric about the 7.0 Earthquake that has hit Southern Haiti, centered near the capital city of Port-Au-Prince. The ambassador reported that the earthquake is a "catastrophe of major proportions." Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. . . . (VIDEO)

Not surprised since a massive earthquake is what caused most of Port Royal in Jamaica to fall into the ocean in the 17th century.

A 7.0 quake in Haiti is like a Nuke hitting Dresden near the end of World War 2. Like Katrina, of course, this is Bush’s fault.

perhaps this is a sign that the whole gawd-awful place should be bulldozed.

No doubt President Obama, recognizing the serious of the situation has already sent humanitarian help.

[usmcobra]

Is He declaring a state of emergency in Haiti?

[trumandogz]

We are America and that is what we do.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

Deaths would be a lot lower if the building were up to earthquake standards.

[pingman]

Damn! Beat me to it! (Bush’s fault!)

[Petronski]

perhaps this is a sign that the whole gawd-awful place should be bulldozed.

Perhaps this is a sign that you're a cold-hearted bastard.

[Petronski]

They’re lucky they can afford concrete and blocks at all.

[dfwgator]

Yep, just as a Tropical Storm hitting Haiti might as well be a Category 5 Hurricane, with all of the deforestation and the shoddy way the houses are built there.

[ErnstStavroBlofeld]

Then you will see more deaths like these for minor quakes.

“There must be thousands dead”

He’s thinking about it. He’ll get back to the Ambassador in five or six days.

Obama rushed back to his rented house in Hawaii, dragged himself away from an important golf game, when a friend was slightly injured....He’ll do the same for Haiti (huge sarc)
