What specifically are you suggesting would be appropriate or “his job”? He should curl into the fetal position and weep until it’s all cleaned up? I detest the man but I don’t understand what people would expect as “presidential” in this case, a natural disaster in a foreign country...

I expect the President to pay attention to things like that rather than worry about his gold game.

Gold game????? I suspect you are trying to say golf game.

“We are getting worse than the blame Bush group who did this for eight years.”

Bush eventually stopped playing golf during his administration, saying he didn’t think it’s right when soldiers are dying for their CIC to be seen playing golf.

Obama, on the other hand, is Nero with a golf club.

He quit in 2003. He took up biking to clear his mind. I hope that Obama does not do that. Can you imagine the pictures in the paper and internet over that.

No smart ass. Did you read my post? There is a possible danger to our country besides showing some measure of concern to an ally. Get off your lazy ass, quite golfing and partying and at least “act” like you know what you are doing. No reports of any briefings etc. on possible problems we may face. Sometimes a President has to act like a President. There is style and substance. Presidents need to know how to do both.

Oh yeah. He has MUCH more important things to deal with, the “March Madness” brackets. You and Zero are the ridiculous ones.

"I want every child in the country to head back to school in the fall knowing that their education is America’s priority," he said. "Let’s seize this education moment."

Why didn't he seize the "education moment" when he got elected.... Oh right, he was busy cramming socialized medicine down our throats.

The one small thing he could have done was exhibit a bit of decorum. Out of respect, he should not have gone golfing in the immediate aftermath of the devastation. I mean... it just looks bad.

That’s nice.

Why don’t we have C-17s, C-5s, C-141s and C-130s flying a bridge between here and Japan? Every bit of emergency supplies we’re not currently using should be getting loaded and flown in.

Japan is our ally, and modern, not some little cesspit. If we can pony up for Haiti, we need to do a lot more for Japan. Don’t worry about the cost; they’re good for it.

Probably but as Japan Prime Minister which you seem to think he is, he should not play golf. The only thing that pisses me off about Obama is the money that is borrowed from China that he gave to Japan through services, products and USS RONALD REAGAN. That is where he should be keel hauled....how long will it take the grandkids to pay that off?
