LEOGANE, Haiti (AP) - Haiti hasn't seen many homes built for the poor following a devastating earthquake almost two years ago, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said Monday.
In a 10-minute interview with The Associated Press, Carter said he noticed little housing reconstruction for struggling Haitians as he drove from the international airport to the residence of the U.S. ambassador in Port-au-Prince to Leogane, a coastal city 18 miles (29 kilometers) west of the capital that was largely flattened in the earthquake because of its proximity to the epicenter.
He added that there may be construction in other parts of Haiti but that he hadn't seen it.

I thought Clinton was put in charge of all that money and rebuilding effort.
I hate to ask for I think I know and feel nauseated. Is there any way to make bad guys pay - one way or another??
“What is the difference?”
The difference is the Dominican Rep is inhabited by a bunch of crooks who runaway from their original Latin American countries to avoid arrest.
Haiti is inhabited by feral animals and crooks.
The Dominican Rep is only inhabited by crooks.
Hey, M, thanks for the perspective from the Isthmus!
I hope I did not insult in anyway.
Our Panama Canal ship, which was both a cargo and passenger ship, on its way to and from New Orleans would make a stop at Porte Au Prince. I never learned the reason why. There was no trade between Haiti and the Panama Canal. What a most god-awful place. One would think a country sitting in our hemisphere would not be as backwards. If Haiti were sitting in Africa, I would understand.
I didn’t learn until years later in my innocence that the Dominican Republic sheltered so many Latin crooks.
P.S.
I always love hearing from you.
You have alwas been a good Freeper friend.
