Joe, I get what you're trying to do, but you know whats ironic? No one mentioned BUSHs support for the Tsunami victims! We had national guard on the ground in no time and dumped BILLIONS of dollars to support.........wait for it..............A MUSLIM COUNTRY!!!!!
Bush failed to politicize it, and of course the media never gave him credit for it. Obama will look like a saint for Haiti. Nah, no media bias Joe.

I agree. Bush had a very good humanitarian record - his efforts in Africa will probably go down as a great achievement.
Of course the libs will chime in with something like, "Except for the people he bombed unnecessarily." But hey, there are naysayers and crybabies in every crowd.

Amazing how those who complain about the U.S. acting like the world's policeman (with those collateral unnecessary bombings), insist that we be the world's doctor/patcher-upper/humanitarian.

Great catch Spence
Presidential Action
President Bush on February 9, 2005, announced that he is seeking $950 million as part of the supplemental request to support the rehabilitation and reconstruction of areas devastated by the Indian Ocean Tsunami and to cover the costs of the U.S. government’s relief efforts to date. This amount, which is part of the supplemental appropriations request, is an expansion of his initial commitment of $350 million and is based on the information available and the assessments to date.
The President expressed the United States’ deep and ongoing commitment to the tsunami victims. The United States was working to help these nations before the tsunami struck, and we remain committed to helping those affected by this terrible disaster recover and rebuild.
