Funny - lots of people resent the USA positioning themselves as the "world's policeman", yet when a disaster happens anywhere in the world those same people expect the USA to help.
Can't have it both ways.

Just shows you that he doesn't care about anyone but himself and his bankers. If I were president I wouldn't be taking little vacations, I assure you that. AT LEAST ACT BUSY.

I wonder if the U.S. carriers will ever come home after the Japan disaster becomes somewhat cleaned up? Or will they try to set up bases in Japan as well? Like in Afghanistan and Iraq (we won't be leaving those areas any time soon).

I DO think Obama needs to rethink what he is shown doing in situations like this. The only time I hear about him - he's either golfing/living it up or he's trying to enforce things on the US. Not much presidential work...

You do know that the trip to Brazil IS business...don't you???
And photo ops and other things are things Presidents have always done.
Please tell me...what would you like him to be doing. We know what you don't want him to do, which is continue his daily schedule...so what do you want him to do?
The Obama family will also take in the sights in Rio. A trip to Corcovado mountain, where the Christ the Redeemer statue stands (France gave us Lady Liberty, gave Brazil Jesus) is supposedly on the itinerary. What trip to Rio would be complete without it? If they do make it to the top of the mountain, they will do so with an entourage of secret service and Brazil’s Elite Squad, known as BOPE.
