Disgusted

Never have I been so ashamed of an administration as this one. In the midst of human tragedy in Japan where as many as 25,000 may be dead, hundreds of thousands - hundreds of thousands that include men and women and children - are homeless and lacking food or water and housing in winter temperatures, the Obama administration's indifference was bad enough. But indifference is the least of what they are doing. Now they are trying to actively undermine the efforts of the Japanese government's efforts to contain the crisis.

These are a few of the headlines.
From ABC News: "U.S. Officials Alarmed By Japanese Handling of Nuclear Crisis"
- One (unnamed official) is the source of the story.
- "They need to stop pulling out people—and step up with getting them back in the reactor to cool it."

Reuters: "U.S. urges citizens within 80 km of Japan plant leave"
- The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo issued the advice in a statement distributed to reporters accompanying Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on a trip to Egypt.

- "The chairman of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave a significantly bleaker appraisal of the threat..than the Japanese."

Associated Press: "US says plant's spent fuel rods dry; Japan says no"
- officials are also taking increasing criticism for poor communication about efforts at the complex.
- growing unease at the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency's who complain information is too slow

CNBC: "Foreign bankers flee Tokyo as nuclear crisis deepens"

IFR, a Thomson Reuters publication, spoke with 14 bankers from the bond syndicate and equities desks of Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank , Morgan Stanley, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch and BNP Paribas who had fled for the safety of Hong Kong, Singapore and Seoul through the week or were trying to get out.

On Drudge: "ABCNEWS pulling out news team from Japan..." Then, a second later: "ABCNEWS moving news team to Osaka; Anchor Sawyer Returns to NYC.."

MEDIA EXCUSES OBAMA LACK OF LEADERSHIP. IT'S THE PUBLIC'S FAULT.
ABC News: "International Crises Put Obama in a Bind Subhead: With Jobs and Economy at the Top of Agenda, Public Hesitant to Engage Internationally"

To the administration and the media who adore him, it is politics, money and shameless indifference to human tragedy. To them, it's a damned game.
