I will give you that one. Name me something else they have done worth a crap. Its a shame the USA is the keeper of the world especially when hardly anyone else helps out when the USA is in need. Where were all these other countries when Katrina and Ike hit? This country needs to start care of our own instead of giving all these other countries handouts.

Wow - I had no idea: read this about the foreign aid offered by many, many countries after Katrina. It's huge!

Unfortunately, there is this note, after the lists of countries, and what they offered, too:

Actual funds used

An article in the April 29, 2007 Washington Post claimed that of the $854 million offered by foreign countries, whom the article dubs "allies," to the US Government, only $40 million of the funds had been spent "for disaster victims or reconstruction" as of the date of publication (less than 5%).[49]

Additionally, a large portion of the $854 million in aid offered went uncollected, including over $400 million in oil (almost 50%).[49]

Interesting reading. Where is Haiti at on the lis?. Another noticable country missing from the list is Somalia. Thats right they offered no help. Yet thier getting all this help. At least now there are less AIDS infested people to worry about and less Haitians trying to enter this country illegally. I know Haitians arent the only one's trying to enter this country illegally. Looking at the list some countries promised relief in money but did they actually keep thier word about. As far Chavez I dont trust him one bit.

Quick story for you... Here at Santa Clara University, we were collecting donations for Haiti earthquake relief at our basketball games this past week. A university staff member went to drop off the buckets of change at the Red Cross office this morning. When the Red Cross staff member asked which organization had collected the donations, our staff member told him it was Santa Clara Basketball. The Red Cross staff member handed the money back and said, "Santa Clara Basketball? You keep the money, you're a bigger disaster than the Haiti Earthquake!"













Yes, it's a just a joke... but we suck this year

I dont think Somolia has a functioning, organized gov't so giving them a pass may be prudent.

Then why is the USA still sending aid for that worthless country? If the USA isn't sending aid to them they dont deserve it.

Because we are Americans and we help people in need. The "we shouldnt help them, what do they do for us" attitude is beyond moronic. The fact remains that the US does far more for the world in general than any other nation. Which is what made the Obama apology tour such a disgrace for those of us that understand the previous sentence.

"One of the first countries to offer aid, Cuba offered to send 1,586 doctors and 26 tons of medicine. This aid was rejected by the State Department."

Wow.

This is a example of politics coming into hand to instead of the needs of a human being. Its a disgrace that examples of that happen.

since when do you care about the needs of human beings?

I thought you said 250,000 haitians dieing is a good thing so they can't immigrate their AIDS infested bodies illegally to America?

Arent you tired of America taking care of everyone else. Maybe if we took care of our own thier would be less homeless people on the streets at night. Maybe the needs for food pantries would get lower. But just like every other President has we kiss eveyone else's ass.

So you are in favor of Medicaid, health care reform, etc?

Im not in favor of health care reform. I agree with people needing health insurance but why should the taxpayer pay for someone who can work and doesnt want to work. Im sure O'Dumbass is going to make an attempt to include worthless illegals in the health reform.
