ours and i have such a close personal friendship and connection to the japanese people in part because i grew up in hawaii where i was very familiar with japanese culture that, that just makes, you know, our concerns that much more acute. but, i m very confident though obviously that the japanese people are so resourceful. japan is such a powerful economy. and such an advanced economy technologically that japan will successfully rebuild. and it has experienced dealing with natural disasters. it has dealt with them before, and it will deal with them again, and japan, i am sure will come back stronger than ever hopefully with our help. all right. thank you very much, everybody. all right. president obama leaving the briefing room after a conversation with the reporters. a full press conference that was supposed to be about energy prices. i m ali velshi.
