"A Wikileaks post published on The Nation shows that the Obama Administration fought to keep Haitian wages at 31 cents an hour." »
Ah yes, right, the “invisible” hand of the market backhanding another poor and indebted nation….
And why? Because 61 cents an hour for Haitian laborers was just too much for Hanes and Levis to stomach and Obama was of course willing to accommodate. So next time you wonder why Haiti’s so poor and full of human and environmental strife…

I think “kind of a bummer” is an extreme understatement… However, I’d still support him over any of the Republican...
