Scott;
What should he do beyond monitoring the situation and sending ships and supplies from neighboring areas? The US has survival and search and rescue efforts over there already. update: 12 ships and millions of pounds of food and medical supplies, plus they have been helping to ferry Japanese rescue teams around.

Beyond blind dislike/trust of this administration, WHAT should they be doing? Fly over there and hold their hands? go over and fix the reactors himself?

I'd rather the administration take a wait and see on a lot of the current issues. One of the best things this administration has been to not rush into Lybia, when many on both sides were pushing for it....

give me a break. damned if he does, and damned if he doesnt....

I SO wanted to post this earlier. I didn't want to get Spence more irritated

EPIC leadership

Can't wait to see how Spence spins this one. Probably some new trade agreement that they're going to sell 300,000,000 condoms to the people who live in Rio.

Ok now I'm poking the dragon

Right. it's much better if he don's a flightsuit for a photo-op.

so, maybe he should have had hourly press conferences, keeping the Scott's updated on everything the US is doing to help... of course, then he'd be criticized for too much podium time, or using a telepropter, or maybe Booger should just go kick his dog....
