US President Barack Obama on Saturday invited two of his predecessors, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, to help raise relief fund for quake-stricken Haiti.

"I am pleased that President George W. Bush and President (Bill) Clinton have agreed to lead a major fund-raising effort for relief," Obama said in a joint appearance with his two predecessors after a meeting in the White House.
