And just imagine how the loonies on the left would spin this if Bush were still president...

As for President Zero's Nobel prize money, did you hear him say he was going to donate any of his own money, or is it just that he wants the citizens of this country to do this? Ummm, I thought not.

Sheeesh, sorry, it's just really making me angry....people over there are being turned away from hospitals, they are short on medical supplies...food, fresh water....

COME ON OBAMA, it's your job to get the ball rolling, do something, act, don't stand up and make a speech, you are the comander in charge...get our country organized and moving, like you promised!!!!
Welcome to the oft times inept, slow turning wheels of a bloated, over regulated, over administered federal government, as they wade thru mounds of bureaucratic red tape. It's why many of us do not want it anywhere near our health care.

The real shocker is that Obama on TV giving a speech about this, so quickly....politicizing.....something that happened in another country.....yet, when a terrorist almost kills U.S. citizens, it takes him four days to speak....he continues to play golf.

Seems Rush is a bit correct.

Did he get upset with Bush for his slow response to Hurricane Katrina?
He should not be upset with Obama for responding so quick to such a tragedy.
There are people at risk of losing their lives, as many already have.

This man needs counseling.

Actually, the people on the left are---and would be even if Bush were still in office---concentrating on what humanitarian efforts are being made.

Turn on CNN. They are covering it full time. Help is arriving, and search and rescue teams from all over the world are starting to work. Our military set up an air control center so planes could land safely and there are planes stacked up waiting to land.

I saw Limbaugh and Pat Robertson in clips on 'Countdown' last night...my rage was so apparent to my wife that she actually backed away from me, for fear that I would smash the TV LOL...

Now, correct me if I'm wrong but these are the voices of the people who say the current administration is 'a failure' and keep puffing their chests out and crowing 'just you wait 'til November 2010/2012...we're gonna take this country back'? An obviously misinformed televangelist, and a misanthropic, big-mouthed radio host, with about as much credibility as a trunkful of 3-dollar bills? You have GOT to be kidding me, right?

You are SO out of line to defend and parrot Rush on this topic. How you can live with your lack of empathy and political hatred is beyond understanding. Haiti humanitarian efforts are not and should not be a partisan issue but you neo-cons are forcing us all into that kind of discussion. Unbelievable!!!

I am at work and can not get to a TV. i went to the CNN web site and it says the US Militiary has secured the airport so that juminatarian aide can fly in. Most of the aide is from groups not countries
