what libtards were saying when we had a republican as president

"While many world leaders quickly grasped the scope of the devastation and pledged their support, the silence from Bush was deafening. America was missing in action from the world stage for several days. Where was the richest country on Earth? Why hadn't Bush - the "compassionate conservative" - sent a rescue mission? Couldn't the U.S. forces drop supplies in disaster areas as swiftly as they drop bombs in Iraq?"

Following the massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake which rocked the northeast coast of Japan, triggering tsunamis and resulting in hundreds of deaths, President Barack Obama issued the following statement:


First wave hitting Japan following 8.9 magnitude quake, March 11, 2011 (SkyNews)
“Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to the people of Japan, particularly those who have lost loved ones in the earthquake and tsunamis. The United States stands ready to help the Japanese people in this time of great trial. The friendship and alliance between our two nations is unshakable, and only strengthens our resolve to stand with the people of Japan as they overcome this tragedy. We will continue to closely monitor tsunamis around Japan and the Pacific going forward and we are asking all our citizens in the affected region to listen to their state and local officials as I have instructed FEMA to be ready to assist Hawaii and the rest of the US states and territories that could be affected.”
 
Kind of ironic that you're linking common dreams, and yet seem to be doing the same thing w/ Obama & b-ball.

So, you're the common dreams of the right.

Nice goin'

U.S. response to Japan's disaster is growing

This U.S. response to Japan's disaster is growing. Seventeen-thousand military personnel, 14 ships, 113 helicopters, and the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan are now in or on their way to the country. The American Red Cross has already sent $10 million.

The United Nations says 102 countries have offered Japan help. It has accepted help from only 15.

"The Japanese see themselves as self-reliant and very effective at dealing with disasters so they're really trying to see what they can do on their own and then we'll see what kind of reaching out they'll do," said Stacy Palmer of the Chronicle of Philanthropy.

Japan has not officially even asked for donations, but Americans have already pledged more than $47 million. Yet by comparison after Haiti's earthquake, Americans gave $150 million in just the first four days.

But money is not the main problem right now, getting supplies through this wreckage is. Radiation leaking from this nuclear power plant has kept search and rescue teams out of some of the hardest hit areas.
