Haitian President Rene Preval will meet with President Barack Obama in Washington on Wednesday to provide an update on recovery and rebuilding efforts on the battered island nation.
The
White House said Friday that Obama, in a White House meeting, will assure Preval of the U.S. commitment and also discuss on-going aide and rebuilding efforts as Haiti picks itself up from the Jan.12 earthquake that killed some 220,000 people and caused up to $14 billion in damages.
Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
