Again, what the fuck is the President supposed to do? Fly to Japan and what? Tell them to fix it? Send in some American teams to fix it? (Already done). Supply the fire trucks that are currently putting out the fires at the nuclear plants? (Done, US Navy fire trucks.) What else can we do to help? Send in some rescue teams? Done. Send in supplies? Done? Use US Naval Air Stations for forward bases for supplies? Done.

Seriously, what should the President do? We already have the largest response to a foreign disaster EVER. We have offered every bit of support we can to fix this.

When Three Mile Island happened, did the chief idiot from Canada come down and push President Carter around and tell him to fix it?

This is some serious shit

He can go piss on it to cool it off. LOL geezzz we are already doing what we can for Japan.

One thing that might want to be addressed is what MIGHT happen in worst case scenario for the USA, if this gets worse. I know the gov doesn't want to cause panic, but I think being prepaird is the best thing. My local news guy said either the USA or my state is 4,000+ miles away, and we should be fine, but he is no expert!

Isn't the solution obvious? Duct tape and plastic sheeting. :1orglaugh

Make sure to not seal off everything so air flow is possible. Some idiots wound up killing themselves without that last little bit of info a while ago.

I'm not an Obama fan, but give the guy a break. It's not like he's going to fly to Japan, put on a firesuit and start manning the hose.

We won't know for 6 weeks or so. He likes to ponder things a while before jumping in.

This is one of the reasons I have grown tired of Obama. I think we need major healthcare reconstruction passed in this country if we want to maintain a strong middle class, but I don't see the bill that they passed as being the answer.

What annoys me about Obama is that when he went into office he and the democrats had this huge super-majority. The were swept into power and he was very popular as he took office. He should have made job #1 doing everything in his power to get the economy back on track and recovering. If he does that he probably holds the house during the midterm elections and they could work on healthcare once the economy is better.

Instead it seems like they broke out some of their dream ideas a got to work pushing them through because they realized this opportunity may not come along again for another 30 years and in the meantime the economy continued to struggle and suffer.

obama to speak at white house press to give a statement...

The german embassy was relocated from Tokyo to Osaka. Wow!

Well this thread gave me a good laugh. Middle East is on fire, Japan melting, dollar sinking all the time, inflation is out of control (have you bought coffee lately) and people actually continue defend the current one in office....OR ..try to say...just you wait the other party that fucked us for 8 years will come back and boy will it be different!! WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! Why are you so loyal to one party or the other with they both screw you year after year? Is Gitmo closed...uh no? How about foreign wars...expanded them? Gay marriage...ooops? Regulations on Wall St..nadda? Patriot Act..no change? ALL THE ABOVE ARE FOR BOTH PARTIES....THEY ARE THE SAME. You sound like abused spouses...I'm waiting to hear you just say "No no...it wasn't them...I fell down the stairs".
