The government and Tepco, both having first thought the cooling system could be restored by themselves, rejected the offer as they believed 'it was too early to take,' Yomiuri said.
Some ruling party and government officials pointed that the country could have avoided the current crisis if Prime Minister Naoto Kan's government had accepted the offer, it said.
This is how Obama and the lapdog media will spin this. They will all say it's Japan's fault for not accepting the offer.
I really want to hear their justification for this. But there IS no justification for our govt doing that. They should have solved the problem first THEN tried their blackmail gambit. This is going to make him look like a fool and since he's the POTUS, it's going to make US look like a bunch of vicious blackmailers. :(:(:(
If this is accurate, this will cement his place in history all right.
WHAT DID THE PRESIDENT KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT??? I WANT A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION INTO THIS CHARGE, ASAP!!
It sure is. Damn I'm mad! :(
Our enemies ought to be shaking in their boots. If he'd stab an ally in the back like this, imagine what he'd do to the enemy.
Jerk
And where will Obama be tomorrow?:
Flying Down to Rio
My Rio, Rio by the sea-o
Flying down to Rio where there’s rhythm and rhyme
Hey feller, twirl that old propeller
Got to get to Rio and we’ve got to make time
You’ll love it, soaring high above it
Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue
Send a radio to Rio De Janeiro with a big hello
Just so they’ll know and stand by there, we’ll fly there
Oh, Rio, everything will be okay
We’re singing and winging our way to you
You’ll love it, soaring high above it
Looking down on Rio from a heaven of blue
Send a radio to Rio De Janeiro with a big hello
Just so they’ll know and stand by there, we’ll fly there
Oh Rio, everything will be okay
We’re singing and winging our way to you.
Obama is a closet bigot. He is nothing but a black racist with an ax to grind and mock at the Japanese, like all self pomped narcissistic democrate. He hates achievers on top of that and wallows in homosexual self hate, and he plays his wife who probably takes it on the US. Sbirs of Jeremiah Wright,giving up on anything intelligible.
This is a POTUS who defies the SCOTUS and works to undermine valid state legislation via extra-political means such as facilitating union thuggery, as well as filing suit against the legislation and using the hammer of the DOJ.
He would not only not listen to a group of Senators, he would proceed to order them destroyed via the power of the Executive and likely, that of the media, as well.
He is running for a second term. He calmly states to his donors that he has made beneficial changes to America. We can see that he is extending his policies to the entire Free World.
Meanwhile, we cannot agree on a candidate, the GOP is fractured and ineffective, the public by and large parrots the progressive memes of the state-run media and the world is spiraling down into war in the ME that will make oil and gasoline prohibitively expensive. If Q-daffy is cornered and hurt enough, does anyone think he wouldn’t blow his oil fields before dying? That would further facilitate the destruction of the world economy. It was likely a selling point for zerO. Note his buddies in the UN, China and Russia, did not vote for the bombing of Libya. They are the only ones who will defy him.
The Congress is totally complicit. So are all the Cabinet and the czars. Add the EU.
At this point, anyone at all would be an improvement. I fully understand how right-wing strongmen end up in power after a Marxist regime.
Likely, our former allies don’t blame the American people and understand all too well the nature of this regime.

Bookmarked for further exposure.
I'm just glad you're not in charge of this crisis. You spend too much time in a virtual world.
I haven’t read beyond your rant, but I agree with you totally, and thanks for a great post. You covered many of my own grievances of what is happening.
From the information we have been subjected to I believe we are getting a mixture of some news, and a whole bunch of disinformation. Almost reminds me of the Gulf Oil spill.
Why do you say that?
I’ve been reading through the comments at Denninger’s
Market Ticker on this post. One of them mentions that at
http://www.mynorthwest.com there’s a Navy Visual News
photo of USAF and others loading “high capacity pumps”
at Yokata Air Base in Japan *today* March 17, “to assist
in the effort to cool the core of the damaged reactor”
(I can’t feasibly post this myself on the PC I am on right
now) Another comment notes that there’s uncertaintly about
whether the Dai-ichi reactors only were part of the alleged
condition of US aid or whether the Dai-ni ones were also
saving
Well, they’re certainly shut down permanently now, aren’t they?
Ok now maybe I am getting it.
Good. lol. I’m not TRYING to pick fights, just seem to be doing it ;)
Originally I thought perhaps that was the only way we could help, and do so safely.
There are times when I agree with the type of slant you see here. I’m not so sure with this one.
If this is true, Obama was talking to a nation at a time when their people were dying, then refusing to help unless that nation agreed to shut down a nuclear plant altogether. At the time he was supposed to have done it, it wasn’t clear the plant would get this bad.
Look, not only is it out and out blackmail, this signified he really didn’t give a damn if Japanese citizens died. If the government wouldn’t shut that plant down, they were going to die without us lifting a finger.
The kicker is, we would be in a recognized position to help out. Refusing to do so, could be seen as a death sentence for Japanese citizens.
That is about as brazen as it gets. I honestly think the world court could see this as a crime against humanity, not that I back the world court.
There must be something on our books that would cause this to be viewed in a criminal manner.
There are times to apply pressure, and times not to apply pressure. If this wasn’t the wrong time, and absolutely the wrong way to get your way, I don’t know what would be.
I do appreciate your take on it. I don’t think your argument is necessarily out of line at all. You could very well be right.
I DO understand that. It's not easy wrapping ones head around some of this stuff, huh?
But I guess that's how we learn and grow ;)
Godspeed
There are no words. I can’t wrap my mind around the possibility of this being true.
