I do give him props for his quick response to the Japan earthquake and the resulting tsunami.

I turned on the news while getting ready for work this morning and see that he had issued a statement already directing FEMA to get to work, and expressing sympathy to those affected. Good on him.

Directing FEMA 'to get to work' is a curse rather than something to cheer for

Under Bush, Obama is getting on top of things before serious disaster hits which is a smart move.

I heard FEMA is going to send them a few trailers that they had laying around unused.

It seems it would be pretty easy to direct assistance to foreign disasters. The real test will be a Katrina-sized disaster here at home.

Your ideology voted for the guy who put a horse wrangler in charge of FEMA. Don't blame Obama for that failure in leadership.
