THE CLASS ACT, AND THE LESS-THAN-CLASS ACT – AT 5:03 P.M. ET:  From The New York Times:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Standing alongside two former presidents, President Barack Obama on Saturday promised that U.S. support for Haitian relief would continue long after the scenes of death and destruction fade from the headlines...

...Obama and former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton met in the Oval Office for about half an hour to discuss the assignment he gave them: to lead private fundraising efforts for Haitian relief, including immediate needs and the long-term rebuilding effort.

Being the class act that he is, President George W. Bush accepted.  I don't know how no-class Obama could look him in the eye, after the filth that Obama has directed at Bush in the last two years.  The contrast between the two, one the man who led America after 9-11, the other a minor Chicago politician with a golden voice, couldn't be greater. 

Of course, most of the mainstream media, in reporting the story, conspicuously ignores Obama's behavior during these last years, and also ignores the fact that Bush has refused to respond. 

Oh, and get this:

Obama sent Secretary State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the Caribbean country for the first look by a top U.S. official at the devastation. The White House has said Obama had no immediate plans to visit.

Of course not.  Obama will be in Massachusetts, trying to save his political butt.

What a show.  What a revelation.
