Oh, and the Haiti stuff at whitehouse.gov has changed since I looked at it next week. Which I should have known without looking since the Clinton/Bush announcement was made.
If you go to whitehouse.gov looking for information on helping Haiti,
here's what you get:
A video of Bush and Clinton saying why help is needed.
A link to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund web site.
Instructions for using text message to donate to the Clinton Bush Fund (similar to the one set up for Red Cross).
How to contact the State Department if you are a citizen looking for information on friends/family in Haiti.
Links to individual government agency pages detailing how those agencies are responding to the earthquake.
And some images you can use on your own Web site to help promote helping Haiti.
Very nefarious stuff, but still no data collection at all (so no email lists) and the Obama administration is not directly collecting funds (so no skimming).
But what about the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund? That is being run through both the William J. Clinton Foundation (Clinton's privately run aid foundation) and the the Communities for Texas foundation (another private foundation with which George W. Bush is affiliated). So if you have a distrust for either Clinton or Bush you can donate through the other one (which is why the sitting president always tries to get one former president from each party for these things).
