Was Rush Right? Is it all about Obama?

According to the press in the rest of the world, he is and it is.

The United Nations must investigate and clarify the dominant U.S. role in earthquake-ravaged Haiti, a French minister said Monday, claiming that international aid efforts were about helping Haiti, not "occupying" it.

International aid flights coming to Haiti have been waved off and refused permission to land, giving priority to such flights as arriving U.S. Diplomats or U.S. only planes.

Citizens of our allies have been refused seats on flights to the U.S. even when available, this has recently been changed, due to protests from Canada and France, among others.

With the U.S. Military in control of the airport in Port-Au-Prince heavy lift equipment and other cargo handling equipment has been denied to other nations planes, resulting in hours long delays in unloading and no logistical support to get aid where it needs to go.

Formal complaints against the U.S. are expected to be filed in the United Nations.

This is supposed to be a humanitarian action. It’s been said that orders for how the Haiti aid program is to be conducted is coming from the top or nearly the top down of the Executive Administration.

If the orders come from the top down, then let the people who know how to do the job do it.

In my opinion, Haiti is in our back yard. We need to be first and lead this effort; but not with grand standing tactics. If others are there to help, let them help. It’s not only up to the U.S. tax payers to bail out everyone all the time around the globe.

Should we do all that we can? Absolutely, it’s a crime against the very soul of humanity not to want to help. If the U.S. wants to lead, then step up and lead, but don’t do it for political points at home and most definitely not against the very lives we are suppose to be saving.

What’s your thoughts?
