She did not allow anyone from the press to follow her around except Fox News and when she finally appeared in front of the press, she said:

"Good evening folks, I wont be answering any questions because I don't want to get political..."

No... Sarah Palin did not get political, she only went to Haiti to hand out gifts to little Haitian children, hold hands and touch the faces of poor little Haitian babies in the name of the Lord...

Hmmmm... Interesting....

Sarah Palin said that conditions in Haiti are worse than she expected and she hoped for a "military airlift" to bring supplies to Haiti

Was Sarah Palin's Trip to Haiti Humanitarian or Political?

The people at MSNBC thinks Sarah Palin's service trip to Haiti is a sign of her 2010 ambitions (to run for president of the United States)

XM Radio host Joe Madison said the following on MSNBC about Sarah Palin's Haiti visit:

"Here's the real deal and we'll know how phony this [] is... Will she [Sarah Palin] come back and tell those United States senators in HER party that are holding up funding for Haiti right now... The party of "NO" has said NO to the Haitian people..."

I do respect your opinion, but Sarah Palin is not the kind of support that Haitians need to promote their cause.

If you are a member of the conservative elites of Haiti like Sarah Palin is in America, you will love her to death like those corrupted elites in Haiti.

Conservatives like brainwashed media and religion too, but they will nothing to alleviate Haitian poverty in Haiti.

Palin trip to Haiti is politic.

Like she said, what she see is worst than what she was expected.

I hope when she get back to her country, she'll talk to the senators in her party to let the american gouvernment to help Haiti.

Everyone needs to know that the Republican senators don't want the U.S gouvernment help Haiti.

Most of them are racist.

we all know
