Haiti earthquake: Thousands struggle for survival in rubble

THE United States is taking charge in earthquake-devastated Haiti as thousands of troops and tonnes of aid begin arriving in the impoverished Caribbean nation. US President Barack Obama, responding to the first large-scale humanitarian disaster of his presidency, has pledged $US100 million to Haiti with more to come. "I will not put up with any excuses for us not doing the very best in this time of tragedy,'' Mr Obama said. He announced that the "first waves" of the US response were in place including two search-and-rescue teams on the ground, Coast Guard cutters in the port, the US Southern Command in control of the airport and airlifts bringing in supplies and taking out the injured, the Associated Press reported.

The responses:

To: myknowledge

Obama the blundering. He is preparing to adopt a country. Insanity is ruling the White House. “White mans greed” remember that. He must be stopped. There is no exit strategy from Haiti.

Ten minutes after the United States pumps hundreds of millions of dollars and billions in assets into Haiti, Obum-bum will go on another world American embarrassment appologie tour, to tell the world what rotten dirty selfish bastards the American people are and he is so sorry that he has to be their president!

“I will not put up with any excuses for us not doing the very best in this time of tragedy,’’ Mr Obama said

He is such an ahole. He loves to make these type of statements about what he will and will not tolerate as though any of us give a rat's patootey.

If Obama is fair, he’ll give them the right to vote in U.S. elections, and give them all tax rebates and cable tv.

re: I will not put up with any excuses

It’s always about him, isn’t it? “I” this and “I” that, and “me” this and “me” that. He strutted into the Oval Office without a clue as to how little control even the POTUS has over most things in life. He was elected despite having absolutely no understanding of how things work, and more to the point, just how totally inept he is.

It pains me that the world’s first response to a disaster like this is to look to the US military. That’s not their job, and the training they have does not lend itself to that kind of duty.

1. Freep and compassion is an oxymoron.

2. Acorn? These people are really nuts.

3. A Republican President responds to 1908 quake in Italy:

"On December 28, 1908, a powerful earthquake struck Sicily and Calabria followed by a devastating 40-foot tsunami. The disaster cut a swath of horror and destruction across all levels of society, leaving an estimated 200,000 dead. Cruisers and battleships from the navies of many nations brought food and medical aid to the stunned and destitute survivors -- including ships dispatched from Theodore Roosevelt's "Great White Fleet,". U.S. seamen dug out victims, built emergency shelters, and ultimately spent a generous Congressional appropriation (the largest in the nation's history up to that time) to rebuild much of the devastated region. The U.S. response to the Messina Earthquake won the hearts and appreciation of the Italian government and its people. It is seen one of the nation's greatest humanitarian efforts, America at its best."

"America at it's best".

The Republican response in 2010?

"Obum-bum will go on another world American embarrassment appologie tour"

Sad.

9. How quickly they forget but I bet they hate Teddy R. too.

[CBR]

4. These people are just sick f***s who enjoy having people in places

and life situations that they deem "below" them. The world is a zero sum game to them.

[Johonny]

5. There's something odd about incoherent anger

they hate Obama, but for no clear real reason.

6. Oh no! The ominous tenth plane!!!!!

7. No big surprise here...

They were content to let their fellow Americans fend for themselves after Katrina, these Black people are worth even less to them.

On one of their numerous wailing and gnashing of teeth threads regarding Haiti, one Freep actually compared an ice storm in Kentucky to the earthquake. Why didn't Obama help then? :crazy:

8. They are out of their minds with racist rage.

Those comments are made by the mentally ill. I hope they squirm over the next few weeks and months as we
continue to support Haiti.
