I was really taken aback by Obama's decision to send an entire brigade worth of troops, including part of the 82nd Airborne to do S&R in Haiti. Deploying half a division is going to blow a hole in the US Treasury, and despite the fact that the country is in serious debt, he went ahead anyway.

No free elections, propaganda, censorship.
