President Obama's Speech, U.S. Heavy Lift Assistance, and Nuclear Radiation Fear

In his speech to the nation, President Obama presented his heart-felt feelings and sentiments to the Japenese people and government after a massive, 8.9 magnitude quake had hit the Pacific nation.  When asked by a Japanese reporter, President Obama talked about his time living in Hawaii where he had great friendships with Japanese people.  He felt so sorry for their losses in human lives and property.  He promised to help Japan with heavy lift for cleanup and rebuilding purposes.

The US has also sent clean coolant to the nuclear plant to avoid any leakages.  That is the fear of so many people who are watching the development in Japan. The Japanese Prime Minister is on top of the situation.  He asked for calm and understanding as Japan is getting ready to clean up, rebuild and protect human lives.
