Get out of Tokyo! Foreign governments tell citizens to evacuate Japanese capital - so why has Obama not done the same?
Posted by ai at 10:00 PM The reason is because Obama is too busy selecting his NCAA brackets to notice a real emergency in the world that might require his attention.
Or in other words, it’s Amateur Hour at the White House. Seriously, this was such a condescending thing for Obama to do by saying check out his website to make a contribution to Japan. Are you serious?
Daily Mail reports that governments across the world are today urging their nationals to leave Tokyo as soon as possible amid fresh safety fears.
The U.K. Foreign Office is recommending that all Britons leave the area for their own safety, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade recommended citizens who don't need to be in Japan leave and France told its citizens with no reason to stay in Tokyo to get out.
But the White House has not yet told Americans to get out of Tokyo, although it is 'working around the clock (to) determine the whereabouts and well-being' of U.S. citizens there.
