Obama & Mccain join Bush in DC

Just to make things clear about whether Bush invited Barack to the white house or not, both Obama & Mccain went down today for their first meeting concerning the economic crisis. The meeting was only open to the public for one minute, until they closed the doors.

As for poverty:

This is a huge issue that needs to be addressed,

"Around the world, 27-30,000 children die every day. That is equivalent to 1 child dying every 3 seconds, 20 children dying every minute, a 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring almost every week, or 10-11 million children dying every year. Over 50 million children died between 2000-2005. The silent killers are poverty, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, and other related causes. In spite of the scale of this daily, ongoing catastrophe, it ralely manages to achieve, much less sustain, prime-time, headline coverage."

We know things like this happen every day, and that people all over the world are living in these conditions, and we are yet to do anything about it. Is that morally right?
