President Obama Greets President Martelly at the White House

Obama said the "good news" is that because of U.S. and other aid that flowed to Haiti after the January 2010 earthquake, along with Martelly's leadership and the will of the Haitian people, "we've begun to see progress." The 7.0 earthquake, centered just west of the capital of Port-au-Prince, killed an estimated 300,000 people and left 1.5 million others without permanent homes.

"The economy is growing. Security is improving. Infrastructure is getting rebuilt. Rubble has been removed," Obama said from the Oval Office as he and Martelly sat side by side in separate chairs. "Health facilities are beginning to open up. Schools are starting to get back into place, and businesses are starting to return to Haiti."

"It's been a very slow and difficult process, and I think we are all recognizing that we have a lot more work to do," Obama added. "But my main message today to the president and to the people of Haiti is that the American people are committed to standing with you in this process."

Obama said he also was encouraged by progress on legislation that could clear the way for the elections by helping to "resolve some of the political roadblocks that have stalled some progress in the country."

Thunder ou ka konnen ki jan gouvènman AMERIKEN an fonksyone.Gade sa y ap fè ,pa sa y ap di.
Sikonstans chanje.
Ou ka sonje ADMINISTRASYON BUSH yo papa ak pitit t ap di yo pa p aksepte KOUDETA e pi se yomenm ki t ap fè KOUDETA.

Mwen konnen administrasyon AMERIKEN an twòp pou m akòde enpòtans a sa OBAMA ap di.
M ap gade sa l ap fè!

Mwen konnen Joel, se menm jan ke Clinton te depanse milya pou mennen "demokrasi" tounen an Ayiti, epi se li ankò ki te kòmanse GNB an lè li te mete anbago sou rejim lavalas lan. Antouka, sa ke wè Obama fè jiska prezan se mete presyon pou Aristide pa t rantre an Ayiti, epi li resevwa Martelly pou diskite "pwogrè" ki ap fèt nan peyi an pandan Fanmi Lavalas t ap fè yon fiasco nan Washington.
