The Obama White House has been running an aggressive public relations campaign out of Haiti, to spotlight the efforts of American troops and local search and rescue teams.

The latest example came in a blast e-mail, sent out this afternoon from the White House press office, showing a video clip of a Los Angeles County rescue squad extracting a woman out of a collapsed building. As she was carried out on a stretcher, a crowd clapped and chanted its approval for the Americans.

“AMAZING VIDEO: Crowd starts chanting USA, USA during L.A. County USAR rescue,” the e-mail read, including the link to the YouTube video.
