Has BushCo. offered any aid to Haiti?
Is the US offering any aid to these areas hard hit by the Hurricanes?

And what is this outfit all about?

1. Ha!
Shrub is much more interested in Florida than Haiti, mainly bcause his father lost Florida to Clinton when FEMA was seen as dragging their heels during the recovery process for Hurricane Andrew.

Just like how you cannot expect to be re-elected as Mayor of New York if the snow is not cleared promptly in winter, Florida hurricane relief seems to have an election influence.

Haiti seems to have little influence for the current mis-administration. There is a large Haitian community in NYC but New York will probably vote for Kerry.

2. Do Haitians living in the US turn out in large
numbers to vote for him? No, I don't think they are getting any help.

3. At his UN speech, Bush shoud have said, I believe in the dignity of every
human being except Hatians, those without medical insurance, and those I accidently kill in military bombings. Other than those guys, and maybe some of the convicts I had put to death. I believe in the dignity of every human life.

4. He could start making amends by sending
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
