Why worry about an oil/energy crisis? Pres says we have enough supply

It is more fun criticizing

The President says we have enough supply.  It is important for the President to say  this to soothe and calm nerves of nervous citizens

NYT Maureen Dowd criticizes Pres for playing golf amidst crisis

From Press TV Pres returns to golf after condemning Foley beheading

This post would mean my cancellation of this visa to travel to US.

The head of the largest economy in the world has been widely criticized in his own country for failure to deal squarely with the problems in US:   of the illegal children immigrants from the rest of America, the ISIS threat, The Gaza war, the beheading of US Journalist Folley.  While this is happening the chief seemed to be enjoying his golf.   While the UK Prime Minister cancelled his vacation, the US chief did not show the same sense of urgency.

Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) is indeed the moment of truth, the defining moment for the "Tuwid na Daan" of this regime!

It is more fun criticizing

Rizal, Philippines  | December 2, 2013

 

The comments of Christianne  Amanpour of CNN to the President during their interview, post Yolanda typhoon crisis, still ring clearly in my ears " How your respond to this crisis, defines your Presidency"  as he was embarrassed by apparent grasp of reality on the ground.

As I got the other stories from somebody whose relatives were victims of the typhoon  (Inside story of the Typhoon Haiyan devastation)  there were several incidents that may not speak well of the rule of the national govt:

1,  The staging of relief distribution;

2.  The repacking of relief goods by the government agencies.

3.  The military commandeering the relief goods for personal use of disposition.

4.   The grandstanding of the Presidency with the LGU Mayor Alfred Romualdez

5.  The military men leading the civilian in commandeering private goods for personal use (the military were in bonnet as seen in TV and fully armed)

It is the time for compassion rather than greed.  How the people in the govt, representing the national government really really reflects zillions the values, the mores of the present govt, and whether the leadership now, has made a dent on how we run things here, especially during crisis.
