So, Where Is The Criticism?

By: Tom Morgan

So, where is the criticism?

So, where is the criticism of the President?

Haitians rioted in the streets while our President golfed. Over two weeks have passed since the earthquake and still we cannot get food to the starving there. Some days our efforts seem puny.

Three American doctors who went to Haiti as volunteers called our response an embarrassment, so disorganized it caused extra deaths.

We supposedly patrol the streets, yet vendors sell for profit the food the U.S. donates. Thieves are rampant throughout Port-Au-Prince. Gangs steal scarce fresh water from desperate survivors.

UN forces have taken to firing pepper spray and tear gas into crowds. Food piles up in warehouses while people outside starve. Corruption is rampant. One U.S. official says distribution is so poor that families cannot rely on any particular location for food.

One Italian official calls our efforts “pathetic.” He says we have organized our efforts poorly. Co-ordination between our efforts and others is wretchedly inept. There is a 7-day backlog of over 1000 flights of precious relief supplies.

One French official accused the U.S. of trying to occupy Haiti. Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua condemn our efforts. Castro does too. The criticism is so strong that Secretary Clinton felt she had to fend it off.

So, where is the criticism of President Obama? Where are the editorials blistering his administration’s efforts? Where are the celebrities questioning whether he cares about these people? Where are the pundits attacking his poor leadership in this? Where are the politicians barking to the world about his shortcomings? Where are the videos of Haiti’s horror, split-screened with our president golfing?  Where are the sound bites from desperate souls? “Obama, you have deserted us in our hour of need!!”

There is little or no criticism of President Obama. Because Big Media do not want to embarrass him. If his political enemies attack him over Haiti, Big Media will ignore them.
