(Newser) – Bill Clinton is heading back to earthquake-stricken Haiti today to oversee aid efforts. The former president, now the UN special envoy to Haiti, will meet with local leaders, visit a clinic and deliver supplies, CNN reports. "More than three weeks after the earthquake, the relief efforts in Haiti have been increasing to meet staggering needs," he said in a statement. "But the long road to recovery has just begun."

I have a great idea where Clinton would be more effective: Go back to China, Bill, and undo the deals you made NAFTA, fair trade, etc. and give us (USA) back our jobs in America. Then we can afford to buy back all the U.S. debts that China bought....Give US, Americans, back OUR country!
