Oh, For Pete's Sake!

Ed Driscoll reports that His Majesty, Barack Hussein Obama I is going to write the cover story for Newsweek magazine on the Haiti earthquake:

More compare and contrast:

• 2005: Media destroys President Bush over his administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina. Or as Evan Thomas of Newsweek put it in mid-September of 2005, less than three weeks after the storm touched ground in New Orleans, “Katrina: How Bush Blew It.”
• 2010: “Obama to Pen Cover Story on Haiti and the Earthquake for Newsweek.”

And of course, Howard Kurtz, the media “watchdog” for the Washington Post, Newsweek’s parent company, has his priorities in order on this one: “Obama to write Newsweek cover story on Haiti; conservative criticism to follow?”

Yeah, I think you can count on that, Howie.

Does Obama think Haiti is part of the US?  Does he think he'll lose the Haitian vote if he doesn't give this everything he's got?  Granted that I don't mind him letting this distract him from any further looting of the US economy,  I have to wonder what he might be using this to distract us from?   What is the man behind the curtain doing?
