Mikey: Earlier this morning President Obama addressed the disaster and tragic events that took place in Haiti last night. He spoke sincerely and made it clear that the U.S. government is doing everything in it’s power to help the people of Haiti as well Haitian-Americans living stateside. Also he urged anyone seeking help locating family or friends in Haiti to contact the states department at 888 – 407-4747 for further assistance. Some key points from his speech were…
1. The U.S. has mobilized resources to help rescue efforts
2. Search and Rescue teams from the U.S. are arriving today and tomorrow, U.S. Agency for International Development administrator Rajiv Shah to coordinate American efforts
3.U.S. is working in an interagency effort with the Haitian government to bring an all out relief effort to the country
Wyclef also spoke with CNN on the tragedy in his homeland and is also doing everything in his power to help bring aid to Haiti. You can donate and learn more about Wyclef’s organization at www.Yele.org or text “yele” to 501 501 to make a five dollar donation. Video after the jump

How about he changes the immigration policy like the Cuban one?
Think that would help?
Amerikkkans really be on that b.s. when it comes to mass “feel-good” campaigns.
“C’mon everybody, let’s ignore the obvious…”
