Haiti Earthquake -Dominicans always helping their nieghboors

The Government of the Dominican Republic is willing to help, and has prepared hundred of search dogs to be sent on a plane. Also military personnel is on the way with medicine and food.
Washington. President Barack Obama thanked the Dominican President for the assistance to Americans leaving Haiti. Obama placed the call to President Leonel Fernandez on Thursday night, The Washington Post reports today.

The White House says Obama expressed his appreciation for the role the Dominican Republic has played in facilitating the evacuation of U.S. citizens and in the flow of relief teams and supplies into Haiti through the Dominican Republic.

The paper also highlighted that Fernandez shared with Obama his assessment of the situation in Haiti in the aftermath of Tuesday's devastating earthquake. He had visited the capital of Port-au-Prince earlier Thursday.

In another development, the paper also reported that Newsweek tapped President Obama to pen a cover story on Haiti for the Jan. 25 issue hitting newsstands on Monday.

Newsweek was readying a story about the Google-China row when the earthquake hit.Getting Obama to write an essay about the Haiti tragedy is a coup for the struggling magazine and aligns squarelywith its new strategy. Newsweek lost $25 million in the first half of 2009.

I'm not obsess with race dummy !!. Idk where the fuck you're from but you seem to know shit about the DR-Haiti situation. Our gov't spends millions on haitian immigrants every year especially when there's a natural disaster on their shitland. DR is way ahead of haiti and other Caribbean countries around u. Yes we're poor because of corruption but also haitians bring on more poverty with them, not only poverty but deceases such as cholera. We are all working btw! so stfu..

@quisqueyatv Why are you guys so obsessed with race!? What is that doing putting food on your table?? look the Haitians aren't even worried about you! as a matter of fact no body is worried about you.The only ones that give you response are the one's who toes you stepped on! You need to stop playing the blame game and start to relize the reason why your The Domincan Republic is poor is becuase of the currption. so stop blaming your problems on others and get off your lazy ass and work!

@ShittingOnNiggaz

I'm on Atheist dude calm your damn balls, and i'm not homophobic, I'm cool with gay people. Really. I never smoked in my life or taken illegal drugs. Just becuase you see a group of people from my country who do all this bad things don't mean that all of us are the same. In fact Dominicans are the opposite and will rather just drink, eat with their families in a civil way then do drugs and do other bad stuff in the streets. you got some serious issues..

[ShittingOnNiggaz]

@quisqueyatv YOU SHIT HEADS ARE HOMOPHOBIC BUT BE BISEXUALS, DON'T LIKE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL BUT DRINK BRUGAL AND SMOKE TONS OF MARIJUANA. YOU ARE THE WORST FRIENDS AND LOVERS EVER! YALL CHEAT AND STEAL AND BACK STAB ALL THE WAY. DR IS A DIRTY ASS NATION FULL OF WHORING AND GARBAGE! LIGHTS GO OUT 3 HOURS A DAY AND THEY SELL THEIR TEEN AND PRE TEEN DAUGHTERS AS WHORES TO COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA. YALL SELL DRUGS TO MAKE A LIVING AND JAIL IS A 2ND HOME FOR YALL! DISGUSTING SNAKE PEOPLE! DEMONS!

@ShittingOnNiggaz

We're blood suckers. dude you really have no idea of what you're talking about, we didn't do this so we could get benefits. We're kind people, and you're disrespecting my country and beautiful history. We're not like Jamaica or Haiti, we are different in so many ways. Language, culture, demographics, mentality, and even a better economy.

@glennys2008 serious? my some of my family lives in cuba good thing it didn't hit em' i've never seen them b4...

[cpeigney94]

@quisqueyatv You're proving his point. Of course you may be moslty white, so am I, but Dominicans in general aren't. We are a mixture; black, white, and taino, creating the best color out there. Calling the Haitians "dumb" does not make you any smarter, do you know how fucking shitty the Dominican education is? Busca esto "Cerito y Cruz". Before talking crap about Haiti's education, let's do something about ours first!

[DominicanIdentity]

@Jazzyjaxx55 No, not "true talk", you act as if being white if a freaking privilege. Many Dominicans are White, many African Americans have it encrypted into their heads that Whites are somehow better. Yes many Dominicans are white but so what? 70 percent of the population is Mixed, and we do not have "Haitian roots". Get it through you're head that we as a nation are not you and will never be you. It does not mean we're better, it just means that we're not the same.
