The unbelievable corruption, graft and kickbacks that sucked most of the money out of the charity relief efforts led by the Clinton Foundation, and we are talking BILLION of US dollars folks, has caused nothing to happen to help the people of Haiti and now there is real hatred of Hillary by people there who expected more help than they got. Hospitals that were never built but promised, jobs still a fleeting memory and more corruption than before the earthquake...this is the legacy of the Clintons.
Do we really want her doing that to America?
We need to look at our close neighbor and ask ourselves, "Should we turn the USA into another Clinton Haiti?"
Does Little Haiti actually hate Clinton? » The New Tropic
After the 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti in January 2010, killing 220,000 people and displacing 1.5 million, Clinton, then secretary of state, and her husband (named a special envoy to Haiti for the United Nations), helped raise billions of dollars for recovery.
According to a US assessment of spending in Haiti after the earthquake, $10.4 billion was pledged in total for humanitarian relief and recovery efforts and approximately $6.4 billion was spent. But a 2012 report from the UN says only a little over $600 million, about 10 percent of what was spent, went directly to the Haitian government and local organizations. That across-the-board failure has many Haitians wondering specifically about the Clinton Foundation now that she is running.
“I’m not sure what they’ve done,” said Francesca Menes, policy and advocacy coordinator for the Florida Immigrant Coalition. “Six years after and we haven’t seen anything come out of it.”
“There definitely is a lot of tension with supporting Clinton because she refuses to acknowledge what she’s done” with that earthquake recover money, added Menes, who was born in Haiti and raised in Little Haiti. “Where did the money go? Who is willing to answer that question?”...
Martelly won the presidency by popular vote of the Haitian people. While his presidency was controversial, the resentment is largely over the fact that they feel Clinton essentially chose their president for them.
“The same U.S. policy of building up governments,” Menes said. “Martelly is the person they chose to have access to Haiti.”
Martelly left office in February without an elected successor. Elections have been repeatedly postponed....
