Great more of the junior high school theatrics we have grown to expect out of the Obama White House. I guess the President has given up on being the President of all of the people and is now just focusing on teenage swing voters because most Americans want solutions to problems not cheap zingers.

As Haiti begins digging out from under 60 million cubic meters of earthquake wreckage, U.S. firms have begun jockeying for a bonanza of cleanup work.
It’s unclear at this point who will be awarding the cleanup contracts, but there is big money to be made in the rubble of some 225,000 collapsed homes and at least 25,000 government and office buildings.
At least two politically connected U.S. firms have enlisted powerful local allies in Haiti to help compete for the high-stakes business.
Whaddya want to guess that they’ll get tax breaks for it too.
