And there it is again, the part no one likes. The part that no one thinks is right. It's not the fact that you are only giving here. If you are giving to people here that maybe no one else would while there are millions of people being given to in Haiti. No one can fault you for that. However, if you are making a principle that until we have no more poor then I'm not going to help the poor anywhere else, then that is not a good principle to have.

It really comes down to your motive, and your not conveying that you have a very good one about Haiti. Maybe you do, I don't know. But I know that you aren't getting it across that you do.

Well, he did say he'll let us give to Haiti, if we are also giving to local needs!
