Obama Enlists Former Presidents to Help
By Associated Press
President Barack Obama has reached out to former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton to help with U.S. relief efforts in Haiti.
Enlisting
ex-presidents’ help in responding to a natural disaster is just what
Bush did in 2004 after a tsunami ripped across Asia. Back then, it was
Clinton and President George H.W. Bush who assisted in relief efforts.
Obama
thought Bush’s decision to mobilize the former presidents was a good
one, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday. Obama called
George W. Bush and Clinton on Wednesday to discuss their involvement;
details will be announced in the coming days.
Gibbs said the Obama administration’s criticism of Bush’s actions during the response to Hurricane Katrina were irrelevant.
“I
think if you asked George Bush whether the government acted up to its
ability in responding to Katrina, I think the answer to that would be
‘no,’” Gibbs said. “The actions that were taken to deal with the
humanitarian crisis from the tsunami, on the other hand, I think worked
quite well.”

- After
all, wasn’t it George W. Bush himself who refused to protect and to
help (responsibility to protect) at the time of the tsunami? And he and all the services at his
command weren’t any better when they should have come to the rescue in
New Ortleans. And wasn’t it he and his cronies who later covered up the
scandal? Obama’s choice of the younger Bush as his envoy to Haiti is an
insult to all those who perished and suffered on the beaches of the
Indian Ocean and in New Orleans.
