I somewhat agree - but the news is saying we are sending planes and our boats are already there and we are coordinating a possible airstrike with other allies.I know that the President can't do anything about events in Japan,and as far as anything else going on,he can function as President anywhere in the world,but there are times when you just feel more at ease if the person supposed to be in charge is at home. Kinda like when you are a teenager and afraid. Even though your parents are just a phone call away,it still feels better to know they are close by. I wish I knew what was so important in Rio.
Now, that right there - absolutely requires the POTUS be in DC with his cabinet and joint chiefs of staff to coordinate and lead.
If we are going to be engaged in military operations our President most definitely needs to be in his office. JMHO
