Haitians Want United States to Take Over

Please, let's not give Obama any ideas. He's going to need all the votes he can get.

"I want the Americans to take over the country. The Haitian government can't do anything for us," said Jean-Louis Geffrard, a laborer who lives under a tarp in the crowded square.
"When we tell the government we're hungry, the government says, 'We're hungry, too. " Added Canga Matthieu, a medical student whose school was destroyed: "The American government should take care of us." "They're well organized. The United States is the richest country in the world, and they can help."
Aww.  We're flattered.  But no thanks.  We're already taking care of enough Haitians in Miami.  Watch this video.

The sad thing is, he lived under that tarp BEFORE the earthquake. His is one of Haiti's nicer neighborhoods.
