Star-Packed Haiti Charity Single Video Released

Allan-You are absolutely right, but the sentiment is the same either way. Haiti is a mess...right now, it's a horrible mess, but before the quake, they were still one heck of a mess. This is no "long term" fix for Haiti because as a country, it was "broken" to begin with. They have no infrastructure to speak of, have not figured out how to have a functional government whatsoever, and has barely managed to provide for itself.

Are these comments that 'we' should help our own first about this charity record? I think you will find that it is an entirely British effort, nothing to do with the USA at all!!

If there isn't enough money in our governement to stimulate our economy, how come we can give so much to Haiti? I honestly think our own country should be put first. I am not saying don't help the people in other countries but please help the people here too.

Yes - there are needs everywhere. If we can measure desperation, Haiti is on the high end. Should we help them, absolutely, whoever can. Should those same stars fill the US food pantries and adopt an inner city school? Absolutely. Will they? Most will not because they won't get as much press and face time. The public needs to demand more from them. We are the ones feeding their careers.
Just FYI, At Bruce Springsteen's concerts, he has a food pantry drive for the city he is preforming in. I have never seen anyone bring cans, it's a cash donation and he donates too.

Enough already!!!! I just heard that our own food pantries here in the United States are the LOWEST they have been in their history & some are just plain empty. Can we PLEASE warm & house our own & feed our own for awhile!!!! Maybe even make a song about how Americans know so well how to take care of everybody else they finally took the time to stop a "Took a Look at Ourselves". Maybe build them some McDonalds so they have jobs & they can get over weight on the wrong foods like McDonalds did to us. Let us take a breather and feed our own so we can stay healthy enough to help those who can't help themselves. We need to eat too. God made plenty enough to go around. Thank you all. Amen

I know that Haitians need help, but what exactly is going to happen in the future...Haiti will still be poor, unable to help themselves. It's been that way for years. They've known poverty forever, and have never made any strides to dig themselves out. Is the US supposed to help support Haiti forever? News flash..the majority of Haitians can't stand the US. They had anti-American slogans on their t-shirts as they were standing in line for American aid. We have a number of Americans in a Haitian prison because they were trying to get help for a group of Haitian orphans. Once Haiti has recovered to the poverty-stricken, horrible existence it had prior to the Earthquake, they will again hate the United States and decry the Americans existence in Haiti. We can throw them bottle after bottle of water and ready-to-eat meals, but when will that end? It won't. It'll be another country that the US is almost solely supporting, and will be at the expense of our already drained country.

Hey Calisa- News flash, people are dying because of our economy. Read the news every now and again. People are losing their jobs getting scared and killing their families. People are dying because they have no health insurance. Kids are living in cars, shelters and on the streets, they have no food or shelter. I feel extremely bad when anything bad happens anywhere, killing anyone of any nation, but cmdrKat is right, all these celebs with all this money are always willing to help out in other countries, what about the people suffering in the US???????

Actually the "help" from other countries was refused by the president.

People are dying at a fast rate here in the USA because if you own your own home you can't get medical help so they do without and if you would check how many people are dying daily here in the USA you would be surprised. Mr. O doesn't care about the less unfortuate here but oh help other countries first! Give me a break!

Most of you educated people need to get your head out of the sand! Do you realize if you own a home in the fire USA that there is hardly any help out there for us! Probably not! I am a firm believer to help our Americans before helping other countries! The people in Haiti have lived in tents for years and the newscasts shows up heaved roads and all the children and parents living in streets and tents--well if everyone would check this is their way of life and nothing has changed much. According to AP only 1 cent is going to the people out of every dollar collected--at least here in the USA more money gets to more people than there.
