what was he meaning then? he has repeatedly used the opportunity of tragedy to promote his view of a highly putative god and shift the blame onto the victims.the message has been repeated, how else should it be interpreted?

Haiti "Cursed" & "We've already done enough"

Sorry, I think I might have muddled things up a bit. I wasn't talking about the specific comment that is the subject of most of the conversation. I was talking about his entire "speech" which was calling for a quick, large, and compassionate response to the crisis in Haiti.I think he is a silly man who is a bit more complicated than people give him credit for being. He is compassionate on the one hand, and then - as you say - somewhat punitive on the other. I think it makes it easier for people to see him in the simplest of terms, but I'm not sure how honest that is.That being said, I'll repeat that I think his "pact with the devil" comments were ill-timed and inappropriate. It should not have been said, context or no context.
