What was Obama's priority?

Making sure he got plenty of that $100 / lb. Kobe beef down in his belly.

There are three other students and two faculty members from the same University still missing.

My heart grieves with these parents in this tragic situation. I have daughters in this age range. I told my husband that my first desire would be to go and dig with my own bare hands. I can’t imagine the paralysis and helplessness these parents feel.

Sad thing is in many areas they are just scooping up rubble and dumping it in a landfill then covering it...but there are unidentified bodies and/or body parts among the rubble. I don’t really see any other way for them to do this sort of work on such a massive scale.

I imagine the reason they’re going to sort through the rubble of the hotel is that there were foreign nationals who died in the collapse.

One sad story, but just one sad story of more than 100,000 sad stories resulting from the Haiti Quake.

Umm...just a little question here.

What were a bunch of twentysomething single white females doing in Port-Au-Prince by themselves?

At my company we send people through the Caribbean all the time. Rule No. 1: no one goes through Haiti, specifically Port-Au-Prince. Even the airport is considered unacceptably dangerous for a flight stop, as you can be accosted in the transit hall.

Maybe people weren't expecting an earthquake, but that's just one of many unacceptable hazards in that insane island.

If they haven’t been found so far they will probably end up in a landfill. Earlier thread showed them dumping the debris with a few bodies mixed in. Reports of many many bodies ending up this way.

Heartbreaking situation for this family, and for all the others similarly affected. Sometimes catastrophic events are on such a scale that the best efforts of all responders simply aren’t enough.

If it were one of my daughters I would have been down there digging myself within 24 hours. My wife would have beat me there by ten minuters.

Exactly WHAT was obama’s priority?
The school notified the State Dept immediately after tghe earthquake that they had people at that hotel.
And btw the gov’t prevented 3 Urban Rescue Groups from going down there, One of the groups was from Houston and has experience in getting survivors out of the rubble. These groups were told their help was not needed.

Tell that to the families of the dead still in that hotel.

Obama hates white people

This situation was and is truly sad: sad because of the earthquake, sadder still because the U.S. (read Obama) has left the project in the hands of the incompetent U.N. and U.S.A.I.D.

The UN was in charge. Finding Americans was not exactly high on their list.
