Obama, it's been 3 weeks!
Please don't forget about Laura Ling and Euna Lee. You know, the two American Journalists that were kidnapped by North Korea.
I know you don't want to deal with their situation because it might force you to make a decision and actually state your position regarding an issue.
Obama, just as you've demanded, you are the man! Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Stephen Bosworth and whoever else may be associated with foreign policy regarding North Korea, can only respond based on your direction. Well give them some!!!
And one more thing. Where is Al Gore? Ling and Lee work for former Vice President Al Gore's media venture 'Current TV'. I haven't heard one peep from him about this.

While the United States engages in delicate diplomatic moves, the situation in North Korea for Lisa Ling's sister and another journalist is becoming worse.
Preparations for an indictment are already underway, with Laura Ling and Euna Lee headed for a trial on the basis of "already confirmed suspicions," according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
"The illegal entry of U.S. reporters into the DPRK and their suspected hostile acts have been confirmed by evidence and their statements," the news agency said. Ling and Lee, who work for former Vice President Al Gore's media venture Current TV, were captured by a North Korean military patrol on March 17 near the North Korea/China border. The journalists were in China filming a documentary on North Korean defectors who reside there.
