President Clinton On Haiti: How His Organization Spends Money

President Clinton posted a video to his YouTube page on Tuesday, describing the Clinton Foundation's efforts in Haiti, and how money donated to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund has been allocated thus far.

He says donations received have been put to good use -- three million dollars have already been spent on a wide array of items: 20 tons of medical supplies, 90 trucks, 9,000 solar flashlights, 34,000 tents, 2,000 latrines, over 1,000 stoves and over 100,000 pieces of clothing.

Clinton also described his recent visit to Haiti with President George W. Bush. He reiterated his belief that small businesses are the key to growing the Haitian economy, and talked about his meetings with Haitian government officials.

What we need is an accounting from the Red Cross who always misappropriates donated funds. There well document history of fraud following all disasters lead one to wonder why the government continues to direct funds to them.

The donations have gone to a good cause and well spent.
