Greetings and Salutations to each of you.
I am sure you have heard of the 7.0 earthquake that struke the nation of Haiti recently. At this times countries from around the world have begun to pour its resources to help this nation in crisis. Food, medicine, money, military, humanitarians, doctors, and etc. are either on site or on the way to help the Haitian people. Barack Obama, President of the United States of America has committed $100 million, along with a "full court press" to assist in this tragedy. It is expected that around 5,500 service men and women from the national guard and marines will converge on Haiti to lend helping hands to find the trapped, wounded, and dead.
The media coverage that dominated the news cycle has been CNN with their around the clock coverage. By now all networks are on location reporting the conditions that are present. However, news commentators are not the only ones who have opinions on the matter. Recently Pat, Robertson long time evangelical had this to say about the tragedy:
And then comes Rush Limbaugh:
Truly these words sparked and outrage in both the religious, and political communities. First with the American Ambassador responding with these words and a history lesson for Pat Robertson:
Secondly, Steve Olbermann adds this slam to comments made by Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson
Is Pat Robertson right? What about Limbaugh? Was the defense by the Ambassador and Olbermann warrented? Surely this is not a time for division but a time for all people to come together and help those in need. We should leave our political posturing for peace time better yet, drop it all together. What are your thoughts; comments are welcomed.
