This region did not have a tsunami warning system in 2004.

Has the President taken any action to ensure his Homeland is spared ?

He has issued an EO for the seas to be calm.

LOL That's funny

Yeah looking at the Indonesia quake map...

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/10/95_5.php

It looks like the second quake was a separate quake rather than an aftershock. Perhaps triggered by the first. You can see that both quakes have had their own separate aftershocks.

A comment on the video you linked.

Since the 2004 tsunami was directly Bush's fault, the non-tsunami of 2012 will be because Obama prevented it.

*snicker*

Interesting. You're right, looks like two quakes.

I'm kind of wondering if they will affect this guy:

There’s always a tsunami with an 8+ quake in the ocean.

Not true.

Another 8.2 quake in the same place. BTW an 8.2 earthquake and an 8.6 quake are separate, but primary events of movement of the Earth’s crust and much to big for consideration of anything else. Not, aftershocks, but more activity to re-set the switch.
