But if you look at this logically, why should the world have to wait for a pronouncement from the President of the United States certifying the magnitude of an obviously catastrophic disaster? And regardless of what he says or doesn't say, shouldn't it be OBVIOUS that the American people are going to help? We always have, we always will. And a lot of that help will come from groups having nothing to do with the government - groups whose money comes not from taxes but from collection baskets, coin jars, and childrens' piggy banks.
