Since the US response to Haiti took as long as that of Katrina, does that mean that President Obama hates ---?
black people? Well, that illogic WAS used against then President Bush, now wasn't it?
Nope; just pointing out the stupidity. Hypocrites bug me some how.
Ooooh! Racism and hatred! Now well the bell did that bit of logicless thinking come from? It was hatred of Bush and racist thinking that was behind the Bush slanders. Is that it?
Look folks - the Bush slam was nonsense - so is the Obama allusion. You liberals just need to wake up and realize that you are worse then who you slam by the methodology of the actions used.
Too bad I'm not working for "Eagle Scout" :)

All disasters are local. It's not the federal govt's job to fix problems at a local level. The katrina problems were the result of a complete failure of leadership at the local level. The media sharks had a chance to criticize and took it.
As for Haiti, it is not our responsibility to do anything for Haiti. We do it because we are a nation that cares for people, regardless of what the heathen terrorists who hate us want to accuse us of. Our response was excellent and far more than it had to be. We do it because we can.

Good grief, where did you ever get such an idea? Even George W. Bush himself praised President Obama for his swift response to Haiti's devastation.
I can't help but say that when certain citizens of America try to politicize as horrendous an occurrence as the devastating earthquake in Haiti, they demean themselves.

You better look to the facts. Katrina happened on our on soil and it took 3 days to get help....Haiti is a foreign country and help was there almost immediately. Distribution may have taken longer due to the destroyed infrastructure.....Even G.Bush praised Obama's response....please turn off Rush Limbaugh and go out and breath some fresh air....

Logic doesn't matter when you can throw the word "racist" around.

No, that means he is light-skinned. Senator Harry Ried (D, Nevada) can tell you more about that.
