Bill Clinton & Haiti - The Relationship You Did Not Know

Let me start off with a bit of clarity on the point: I support former President Clinton with his present works with Haiti. At one point in the interview I was agreeable to allow the "hater" being interviewed to indeed find alternative sources for aid to the island.

There is some point on the spectrum of extremes where one end point says "A Desperate People Should Take What They Can Get" and the other extreme says "Don't Trust Those Who Have Screwed You Before". It seems that the present circumstances in Haiti has them straddled toward the end where they need to take all of the help that they can get.

We should also note the change in disposition of the Al Jezeera host. While it is true that this host is different from the male host that I called out as being biased as he attempted to provoke a Haitian ex-pat who lives in America to make a critical comment against George Bush being called upon by Obama to head the "Clinton Bush Haiti Fund". With the present host she did what I have never seen an Al Jezeera host do - strongly defend an American president against a stinging attack from a left-wing guest.

CFB,

You need a show or at least a few minutes on a show, ala Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes. Great Stuff.
