I'm annoyed....

I'm all in favor of helping in a disaster area, but the "over reporting" of Obama/America being the FIRST to pledge help reminds me of all those stupid people that rush and make the "first" comment on places like TMZ and online newspaper stories.

In matters like this what difference does it make who said they'd send aid first? If it had been Cuba, Russia, Germany, France, Australia, UK etc, would it really have mattered? Am I missing something in the race to be the greatest in relief aid?
