More on Obama, Haiti and Rush Limbaugh

Isn't it curious that Obama has "...tasked Bush, along with fellow former President Bill Clinton, to lead the private fundraising efforts to help Haiti and its people recover."

Even though "George W. Bush paid a huge price when America watched, in horror, as New Orleans was drowning and governments at all levels were slow to respond."

Both of the above quotes come from BEN FELLER, Associated Press Writer, Analysis: Obama heeding lessons of Katrina.

And why Bush?

To quote more of the article: "'This is a time when the world looks to us,' Obama told House Democrats on Thursday. 'And they say, given our capacity, given our unique capacity to project power around the world, that we have to project that not just for our own interests but for the interests of the world.'"

And: "The world is watching because of the expectations that come with being a rich, powerful democracy that is supposed to look out for its neighbors.

"And because the stain of Katrina is not gone.

"'This is one of those moments that calls out for American leadership,' said Obama..."

But, Rush Limbaugh, I'm taken in by the fact that he asked for Bush's help and Bush offered to help.

Right now you have made the Republicans look like Katrina was just another example of what Republicans are--nothing but selfish individuals who care nothing for what happens to the people it affected.

And don't forget it was under your president that Haiti received major aid.
