Obama Asks Bush For Help With Haitian Relief Effort

This is precious.

President Obama is set to announce that former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will oversee fundraising efforts to provide disaster relief to Haiti.

Of course, when Bush was in office he named Clinton and his father, George H.W. Bush, to oversee fundraising efforts to provide disaster relief to the victims of the Asian tsunami.

Given that Obama has spent the past year ridiculing Bush now all of a sudden he needs his help. A smaller man might have told Obama to shove it. But Bush is not the smaller man. He forgives those who trespass against him. Besides the people of Haiti need our help and there is no one better suited to raising large sums of cash than George W. Bush. Even Obama is smart enough to recognize that.

But don't expect Obama to be any nicer to Bush because of it.
