Powell told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday that he was "very impressed" with the way the administration had handled the aftermath of the earthquake, and also said he would help out if he was asked to. However, he said that Obama did the right thing by asking former presidents Clinton and Bush to pitch in.
"I think the Commander-in-chief, he seems to have everything under control," Powell said.
"It hit me very deeply. I've been in that palace. I've been to negotiations in that palace and it's a beautiful building," Powell said. "To see it collapse - and when you realize what that meant to the rest of the city - it struck me deeply, and my heart immediately went out to the Haitian people who have suffered so much."
