Prezidan Obama pa bliye Ayiti. Li konprann mizè pèp Ayisyen an. Se poutèt sa li pa pèdi okenn okasyon pou li pale de Ayiti nan diskou li yo. Li toujou rete an kontak ak ofisyel gouvènman Ameriken yo kap travay nan efò soulajman an Ayiti depui jou tranbleman de tè-a frape peyi-a. Prezidan Obama voye reprezantan li an Ayiti. Li mande de ansyen prezidan pou yo fonde, dirije yon òganizasyon pou chèche èd pou Ayiti. Prezidan Bill Clinton ak Prezidan George W. Bush gen tan vizite Ayiti. Y-ap travay du pou yo kapab jwenn lajan pou ede rebati Ayiti. Anpil Ayisyen ap di ke Bill Clinton se nèg lakay, se nèg pa yo. Yo resevwa li ak de men louvri. Bill fè anpil vizit nan peyi-a avan epi aprè tranbleman de tè-a.
