I think we really need to look at diverting some US aid as a whole toward domestic projects (not just for the hurricane relief efforts, but to help schools, domestic economic growth, etc.) so I agree with the OP wholeheartedly.

As for foreign aid, i'm personally glad that we are (currently) refusing aid from other countries. It would be extremely shameful if America, supposedly the most powerful and wealthyest country in the world, was reduced to begging for outside help. To me, that would be the biggest tragedy.
