I’m not a great fan of Barry Obama and I think his statement about the Japanese earthquake reinforces my opinion. Obama has a habit of talking about things in a robotic ‘I couldn’t care less’ sort of way! We have seen this with the middle eastern rebellions and in his treatment of his supposed allies.
Today we saw one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history, it has devastated one of the most sophisticated nations in the world and left at least one thousand dead, this nation is one of America’s most vital allies and all Obama can come up with is some pat statement reusing the usual Obama cliches and then moving on to some other statement about fuel prices after speaking about Japan for all of four minutes!
Surely this is just bad manners at best? Why not make the statement about fuel prices in an hour or so, or tomorrow? It’s as if he can’t be bothered to have more then one statement a day so he can get back to something more important, whatever that could be.
In short he is a insensitive idiot!

The more we see him in operation, the more we come to realize, he is a heartless suit, very much an intellectual who is out of touch with any human concern.
The only thing I would disagree with you on is the intellectual thing. He is a wannabe intellectual and with all the fawning press telling us how smart he is, I suppose it’s not a surprise.
