Bill Clinton to Be Special UN Envoy to Haiti

The U.N. will name Bill Clinton its special envoy to Haiti, according to his spokesman, in a move that could capitalize on the ex-president's years of involvement with the impoverished nation to burnish the international body's image there. (May 18)

Dan Coughlin, who spent years as a journalist in Haiti in the 1990s for Inter Press Service, said he was incredulous when he heard the news. Given the Clinton Administrations aggressive pursuit of policies that profitted Haitis tiny elite, the IMF and big corporations at the expense of Haitis farmers and urban workers, the appointment does not bode well for the kind of fundamental change so needed in a country that has given so much to humankind, Coughlin says.

Yes, and I blame Dems for not enacting the healthcare legislation earlier. What they were doing wasn't much of anything due to no public option.

This nation is just afraid that there will actually be a middle class rather than a 'wealty class" and "poor". Too much Beck and Limbaugh out there and no one has their own minds anyways. smh at the direction of this country. I hate racists but I am at a point where I am fed up of any Politician. My main point is give our President a Chance!!

How exactly is this country doomed? Please explain to me and don't quote stupid Limbaugh or copy/paste one of Becks or Hannity's blogs. Who is making the county socialist? Who? Wow, we have a president who wants everyone to have healthcare? WTF is wrong with that?

Since you hate socialism, tell your racists old ass white buddies to disregard their social security checks and medicare. Hmm, that is given to them by the govt. Sounds socialist to me. You tell me...
