belpoz.com/picture-7707In an article posted on Black Voice News by Joseph Guyler Delva, many Haitians say they were expecting to see Presient Barack Obama visit Haiti already.

Chavane Jeune, a former Haiti Presidential Candidate, says:

"We are the first Black independent Republic of the world, and Obama is the first US Black president."

Stephanie Jean-Jacques says:

"We have received tremendous attention from the international community and President Obama has demonstrated great attention from day one of the disaster.

I believe Haitians are very grateful to him and his administration, but we are dying to see him come here to see us. We are requesting that of him because we love him."

Question:

What do you have to say about this?

Do you think there is a specific reason why the first black president of the U.S. did not visit the first black republic?
