1. US urged evacuation out to 80 km - they're right. Today, high radiation at 30 km,
a whole year's worth at once, while the Japanese are still staying people there to just stay inside.

US is also providing the water cannons being used to cool down reactors.

Plus US announced it will send planes to evacuation any Americans at embassies and military bases (dependents) who want to leave.

That said, more is needed. US mainly brought bottled water. People are freezing in the snow. They need blankets and clothes; many still wear the clothing that they fled in, clothing that got wet and muddy in the tsunami.

2. You cheerleaders just don't get it.
He was supposed to go there personally with his Superman cape on and put out the fires in the reactors. At a minimum, he should have been out on the White House lawn with his hair on fire, jumping up and down and running in circles.

9. This will fall on deaf ears, ProSense.
People here are too busy blaming Obama for not preventing the earthquake that caused the tsunami.
