I have been screaming at the TV for days, about some Helo's dropping huge generators and getting the pumps back up and running.

I saw that news article, which is being reported worldwide by the way. Obama refused to help Japan because Japan wouldn't agree to cripple their ability to meet their nation's need for producing eletrical energy.

Much of nuclear facility damage and danger to Japan and the rest of the world could have been avoided if Obama hadn't held 27% (approx.) of Japan's capability to produce electricity hostage to his "agenda."

What the heck is wrong with that man?

He won't throw a rope to a drowning man unless the man agrees to his crippling demands? That's sick!

First: Nuclear power IS green.

Two: Obama had the nerve to apologize for alleged American arrogance but he can dictate (just the word for this guy) domestic energy policy to sovereign ally in a time of great human suffering?

Make you a bet none of Obama's sycophants or the LameStream media (to the extent that there's a difference) take him the least bit to task for this.

If this is true I can only say "What a putz."

If this is true I would be shocked if Japan doesn't handle Obama down the road. I wouldn't blame them because there is a time and place and this isn't it.
I can't believe all this, it would be making Obama a murderer.

I'm anything but an Obama supporter, but one blog entry proves nothing. Lets see what additional news sources come up with. I can't believe even Obama would be that foolish and arrogant.

It's not just a blog entry. It's news being reported worldwide. Just one such article:
Quote:
Japan turned down a US offer to provide technical support for cooling fuel rods at nuclear reactors hit by a massive earthquake and tsunami, a newspaper reported on Friday.
The United States made the offer immediately after the disaster caused damage to Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant, the Yomiuri Shimbun said, quoting a senior official of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan.
According to the unnamed senior official, US support was based on dismantling the troubled reactors run by Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) some 250 kilometres (155 miles) northeast of Tokyo, the mass-circulation daily said.

Thank you. Perhaps I gave our president too much credit.
