Truly, anyone that thinks Obama isn't doing anything related to help Japan or anything at all, is straight up brain dead. If you ask those questions to the some, they would want him at ground zero... for clear reasons.
Agreed, Obama was handed the worst shit pile ever... but to point out, the massive spike in the deficit wasn't due to anything Obama did or has done spending wise. He and the Fed didn't spend trillions in his first year in office, they corrected Bush's books showing us the real damage of the previous 8 years, which he campaigned on too. While today the deficit is still increasing, the costs are still here... it's just slowed down because now we see the truth.
Something does need to be done about it... but before that can be done, a huge amount of Americans are going to have to educate themselves on the truth and be willing to accept it. |
That's exactly what they are saying. They are saying Obama is doing nothing, while the truth is this is the largest US response to any foreign disaster by the US Military ever. I just read this morning that two Naval Air Stations in Japan are being used as forward basis for deployment of staff, supplies, and equipment. A SECOND aircraft carrier group is en-route - SECOND AIRCRAFT CARRIER GROUP. How many people is that? Ten thousand?
Sure, we are doing nothing.
