President Obama is pushing his administration about what is being done for Haiti and what more can be done:

Meeting with officials from his National Security Staff in the last hour, President Obama was direct.

He’d just gotten off the phone with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Chilean President Michelle Bachelet to talk about rescue and relief efforts after the Haitian earthquake. A larger meeting in the Situation Room is scheduled for 7:15 pm EST.

“I expect a full report at 7:15,” the president told his team, according to NSS chief of staff Denis McDonough. “I want to know why it is we’re doing what we are — and why it is we’re not doing more.”

ABC has a great rundown of Obama’s response since finding out about the disaster yesterday.
