Let me start by saying I truly feel terrible for the people of Haiti. I pray for them and the American citizens and missionaries over there.
I was astonished at how fast Obama responded to it as well. A natural disaster of this magnitude was no doubt caused by global warming or the Bush administration. Either way it must be a top priority which I assume, is why Obama lept into action and broke out the taxpayers checkbook to help Haiti. I mean after all it took him 3 days and four rounds of golf to respond to an attempted terrorist attack on a US plane so this earthquake must really be important...
I wish there were no impoverished and no hungry children on this planet but the sad fact is there are and there always will be. I am also sorry that Haiti is geographically located in one of the most beautiful places on this planet and yet can't seem to manage any sort of tourism while all of their neighboring countries effectively attract tourists from all over the world.
Corrupt leadership is exactly the reason Haiti and the entire continent of Africa are in such piss poor shape and throwing billions of US dollars at it won't solve the problem. When will one of our leaders have the epiphany and educate the rest of those corrupt morons in Washington DC?
Where in the hell are all of those world saving Socialist Europeans right now while Haiti is in such dire need? France, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, anyone? How about Venezuela being the Socialist powerhouse that it is...? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
They all talk a big game and Obama has apologized to them every time he gets a chance but the fact of the matter is the entire world relies on the USA. It doesn't matter if it's a natural disaster or a military coup, they all come calling like a long lost relative who just found out you won the lotto when it suits their needs.
It saddens me that our president cares more for other nations than the one he was elected to represent. It also saddens me that he would ask Americans to donate money to save a corrupt nation that will no doubt never receive the help they desperately need. It saddens me that Obama's priorities are so out of touch with those of everyday Americans who are worried about taxes, jobs, security etc.
Here you go Haiti and rest of the world, help is on the way courtesy of the American taxpayer. Perhaps now we won't need to make any apologies for a while, at least for a week until everyone forgets and then gets back to hating and criticizing the great capitalist devil known as America.
I don't know about you but I would sure like to hear a thank you, we certainly have earned it...

ReplyDeleteAs Charles Krauthamur said in his speech, "Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors.
Obama doesn't care about the taxpayers but what the world thinks of him. We need to stop underestimating this man. He will continue to give to every country to earn this power and popularity even at the cost of the taxpayers. He wants to be the savior of all peoples. People like us have compassion on the poor and needy, but are more realistic about the problems. Obama finds opportunity not empathy for these poor countries.
Exactly, I couldn't have said it better myself.
