High Hopes for Hillary Clinton, Then Disappointment in Haiti

But as she seeks the world’s most powerful job and Haiti plunges into
another political abyss, a loud segment of Haitians and Haitian­Americans is
speaking of the Clintons with the same contempt they reserve for some of their
past leaders.
In widely read blogs, in protests in Port­au­Prince and outside Mrs.
Clinton’s campaign headquarters in Brooklyn, and on popular call­in radio
shows in Florida, where primaries will be held on Tuesday, the Clintons have
become prime targets of blame for the country’s woes.
Among the litany of complaints being laid at their feet: Fewer than half

we are. This is terrible.

And as Mr. Martelly slowly concentrated power around him and gave important jobs to friends with criminal pasts, the woman who had helped put him in the runoff began to come under attack.


This seems to be a problem with the Clinton's as well, which led them to letting some very bad people influence the decision to use
Health Management Associates, to draw blood from Arkansas prisoners, this led to the AIDS virus getting into products made from blood plasma and resulted in thousands of people dying.
