Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is traveling to Northern Haiti to open the Caracol Industrial Park. While the State Department highlights the park's potential for agribusiness and "artisan crafts," critics point out that 300,000 Haitians still live in tents and suffer from cholera and elephantiasis. The visit is characterized as an elitist photo opportunity that ignores the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis faces criticism following an interview on BBC America regarding the American economy and job growth. Analysis suggests that while the administration claims 80,000 jobs added is a positive trend, population growth requires 150,000 new jobs monthly just to break even. The discussion highlights Solis's background as a union organizer and her defense of the administration's "refargelated" programs for veterans and renewable energy.
