Team Obama was too busy preparing commercials to
blame President Bush for this.

If the “world” wants to look to us, the US, in times like these maybe they “the rest of the world” should stop disrespecting and bad mouthing us, the US so much.

He should know it takes time to get ships loaded with the right stuff, placed in the right order so unloading can be done faster.
But first security has to be paramount. If you start unloading stuff in ports willy nilly with people to make sure it is going to the right people at the right time, they when end like the Liveaid stuff that either was stolen or left to rot on the docks.

So in addition to being the world’s police, we are now supposed to be the world’s EMS?

Wrong. We should donate money food and water and let the UN handle it. Obama will go all in and adopt the country. We will never be able to get out. This is going to be a nightmare. That moron is sending an aircraft carrier and the 82nd Airborne. Good god what an idiot! Although he did have the comments in his book about how Haitis problems are caused by “White Mans Greed”. And how cruise ships throw enough food away every day to feed the whole country. Well we are about to find out.

I notice they yank his one critical comment (made in passing as it seems) out of the middle of the story and headline it.

The media just can't get enough of criticizing the military!

Isn't he the general who coined the phrase "stuck on stupid"?

And so it starts with liberals attacking the US relief effort.

Luckily this time, Obama gets all the credit for failure and charges of racism. “If this had been a white country, everything would be fixed by now” ala Katrina.

“Honore: U.S. military should have reached Haiti sooner”

Seriously...guess the US was just too busy being an imperial hegmony with delusions of superpower-dom.

Thought the response time was pretty quick, disaster on Sunday, MASSIVE movement of men and material Tuesday-Wednesday. Suppose if we are the worlds 911, that is the whole spectrum of emergency services....

Seems kinda small to be badmouthing the folks who are trying to help.

ruefully

"The good Samaritans who moved early on the first day are to be applauded. They made a difference,"

So applaud them, already. Good Samaritans move on a whim. Hell, I personally flew a ton and a half of goods (in five flights) in my little RV-6 to LA after Katrina as part of a GA relief effort. The word went out via email one day and we were in the air the next, stuffed to the rails with water, food and diapers. Paid for our own fuel and donated our time.

The military moves on orders that come down from the top. If they didn't move, it was because they weren't ordered to move, and THAT order ultimately comes from Barry. And, like any large machine, it takes a while to get momentum up.

I predict that O will be going on a fly-over and after the stink is cleared up, he and his sugar-momma,Winfrey, will do a ‘special’ from there.

There is a lot of juice to be squeezed out of this crisis.

Katrina mentality. We get there when we get there, let Brad Pitt and Sean Penn move in first.
