Impressive. A bus and a half full of people and a truck full of stuff.

Where is all the outrage that dear leader is not doing enough, quick enough?? Remember Katrina, Indonesia, etc during the Bush years?

You’d think at very least he’d show up for a photo op.

They need 72,000 rescuers, not 72! Does anyone have a sense of scale? A Mag 7.0 earthquake is dangerous. 10 miles away and 6 miles beneath a city it is devastating. If the city is Port-au-Prince (2-3 million people and no construction standards), then it is catastrophic, the way that Hiroshima was catastrophic. I predict that at least 100,000 people will die. If I were the president, I would send all our naval assets in the Carribean to Port-au-Prince; no less than an army will be able to free the survivors trapped in the rubble in time. I read that many Haitians there think the world is ending and Jesus is coming. America could be Jesus for them.
