BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Here's President Obama speaking about Haiti this morning in Washington at the White House. He held a press conference. Now, I want you to remember, it took him three days to respond to the Christmas Day Fruit of Kaboom Bomber, three days. And when he came out after those three days, he was clearly irritated that he had to do it. He didn't want to do it. He comes out here in less than 24 hours to speak about Haiti.
OBAMA: I have directed my administration to respond with a swift, coordinated, and aggressive effort to save lives. The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble and to deliver the humanitarian relief, the food, water, and medicine that Haitians will need in the coming days.
RUSH: Oh, this is what he lives for. He lives for serving those in misery. Now, don't misunderstand here, folks. I don't have the whole press conference, but I wonder did he apologize for America before acknowledging we are the only people on earth that can possibly help 'em out down there in any significant way? By the way, I've checked it out, Cuba has offered nothing. Venezuela has offered nothing. They have nothing to offer.

I thought the exact same thing! I would never click on the White House website no matter what.
epic proportions???? if you make you house out of weeds and sticks and your surprised when an earthquake blows it down, WHY are your surprised??? Why are MY tax dollars (taken at gun point) going to a DRUG infested SOCIALIST failure of a country????
Does being BLACK make you eligible for US tax dollars??? Would the Dictator's response have been the same in Sweden????
The impostor NEVER came out with the awful ice storm in 2009 in Kentucky....and I can’t remember if FEMA EVER showed up.
You explain it better than Rush.
That’s an easy one, shows what he thinks is important.
Hundreds of thousands of people are dead. Should we sit back like Cuba and Venezuela and do nothing?
The USoA will over react. Haiti’s people are in shock. Huge casualties, no governance, no infastructure, food and clean water all add up to a continuing disaster. Survivor are going to be relocated. Near or far. Boston or Caracas; who knows. Obama sees every one as a potential voter.
Again we should do nothing?

Calling it like it is.

I suspect that man is going to crap this all up anyway. Canceling a jobs event to focus on voodooland. That’s not going to help anything.
$50,000.00 to Italy for their earthquake last year, if that answers your question.
You do realize that at the time of the earthquake there were at least 4,000 US Citizens in Haiti, that’s more than the number of people who perished on 9/11.
my guess there are many thousands more Americans STUCK in Haiti now. We have an Atlanta Church group and a recent Georgia Tech grad hunkered down there right now for a total of 15.. Real trouble.
Remember — Red Cross says, money is the best thing to donate. Much better than goods or time. :)
I don’t see why that’s relevant. Nothing is going to happen faster or slower by his “monitoring” it. Jobs are his big problem now, and if he wants to skip out on a bunch of people who were comingto hear what he has to say about it so he can “monitor” an ongoing disaster in another country, well good for him. Actually, I guess I can see why he would do that. Jobs events are probably more than a bit uncomfortable for him these days.
