$100 Million In Aid For Haiti…U.S. 12 Trillion Dollars In Debt

I would like to know why the President of the United States, Barack Obama, pledged $100 million dollars in relief aid for Haiti, knowing that this country is over 12 trillion dollars in debt. The news of this generous aid from the United States is released AFTER the following aid has been offered and intended for delivery by the following countries and organizations.

These facts are based on my research and are not categorized in any order of importance. All of the following are offering relief for Haiti and their people.

Chile - sending 20 doctors, a rescue team, 12 tons of medical and food supplies plus 3 tons of medicine

Jolie-Pitt Foundation - pledges $1 million to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières

Iceland - sending 37 man search & rescue team

World Bank - promises $100 million in emergency funding for recovery and reconstruction

Cuba - sends 30 doctors plus medical supplies

World Food Program - Air lifting 86 metric tons of food from their emergency hub

Spain - pledges $4.3 million (amount calculated into US dollars)and 3 plane loads of aid

AmeriCares - $3 million in medical supplies

China - sends a 50 member team (geez, thanks a bunch)

Israel - sends 4 member rescue team followed by 2 more jets carrying a field hospital and 220 rescue and hospital workers

Samaritan's Purse - has charter planes loaded with supplies awaiting landing

Spanish Aid - Humanitarian aid and rescue plus medical personnel

Virgina, US - sends Fairfax County Search and Rescue Team

This is a list of the World aid I have knowledge of, but am certain there are others that I am not yet aware of.

Hillary Clinton, who has pledged nothing to help Haiti, cancels her job related plans (at the cost of the taxpayers) and the following occurred:

At 8:31 am Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States is providing a communications network to shore up the battered Haitian government infrastructure. "Once we can get communications up so we can tell people where to go, what kind of help they can expect, we'll be able to better manage the crisis," Clinton said on CNN's "American Morning."

Well, I would like to tell Hillary Clinton where she can go. I ask Americans to keep theirs eyes and ears open and that they demand every cent of the $100 million President Obama pledged to be documented and accounted for.

I feel for the people of Hati, but we have way too much going on in our own country to be sending that kind of money!!! The US government seems to be responding faster to Hati, than it did to New Orleans and the gulf coast when hurricane Katrina hit!!!
