Has he said anything about Haiti lately? Maybe it looks too much like New Orleans

1 day ago: An aerial view is seen on September 5, 2008 in Gonaives, 171 Km (72 miles) from Port-au-Prince after the passing of Tropical Storm Hanna. The European Commission launched Friday "fast-track" aid action for Haiti, after the storm-hit Caribbean island appealed for international help. At least 136 people have been killed by Tropical Storm Hanna, which hit Haiti just eight days after Hurricane Gustav caused some 77 deaths. The worst-hit city is Gonaives, which was flooded after being hit by Hanna on Monday and Tuesday, leaving some 250,000 people affected. Haiti's Senate voted late Thursday to declare a state of emergency in the city.
