Washington (CNN) - Former President Bill Clinton, the U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti, issued the following statement Tuesday after a major earthquake struck southern Haiti:
"My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti.
My U.N. office and the rest of the U.N. system are monitoring the situation, and we are committed to do whatever we can to assist the people of Haiti in their relief, rebuilding and recovery efforts."

We have a president, go away Bill Clinton.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti. Bill Clinton was the best manager this country ever had. He should have been in charge of FEMA during the crisis in Louisiana. I'm glad The UN named his special envoy to Haiti.
Did Clinton or President Obama say this first. Just looking at the two stories back to back... they pretty much say the same thing..
For the love of God, this is the best we got in America.
