The United States is positive about Japan’s ability to handle and manage economic challenges brought by the earthquake and devastating tsunami. The country also expects the disaster won’t affect the recovery of the world from economic recession, a spokesman from the White House said on Monday.

Jay Carney, White House spokesman said during a news briefing that the Obama administration has full confidence in Japan to deal with the economic challenges at these extremely difficult times.

At the news briefing, Carney was also asked whether or not President Obama’s economic advisers were worried that the disaster might pull back the world’s recovery from profound economic recession.

Carney answered the government is confident that not only Japan, but the whole world can deal with the crisis and react in a way that is good for Japan and the world.

He added that the resiliency of both Japanese people and Japanese economy are two very important factors in the Asian country’s ability to handle the situation. Therefore, it is also essential that the entire world will work with Japan to deal with it.

The third world’s largest economy has been struggling after the catastrophic natural disaster that hit Japan on Friday. An 8.9 magnitude earthquake near the city of Sendai in Japan triggered a massive tsunami that covered several thousands of homes and establishments. Three power nuclear reactors in Fukushima plant also caused fears of possible meltdown.

But, economists expect that the earthquake will only pull back the already weak economy in a short period, as the impact on global extent appears quite modest.

President Obama announced last Tuesday that there is a book being created about the ten letters sent to him every day by his fellow Americans.

Obama has been accepting several letters in his office each day from the thousands that were sorted out by the White House Correspondence Office. Those letters come from regular Americans who want to share their feelings and insights about the country’s recent status, including social and personal issues.

According to Aides, the President reads the letters to keep in touch with everyday people outside of politics. He calls his life in the White House as the “bubble life” since it is rather isolated to the outside world. Through those letters, America’s plea and problems are bridged to the President.

During a press conference held on Tuesday, Obama was asked if he feels the pain that other people have experienced when the economic crisis hit United States and programs on social services were cutback.

Obama informed through a news conference aired around the world that a book is being written about the ten letters he receives every day. He said the people that will work on the book came by to discuss it with him a day ago.

Obama said that he is inspired by the resilience and strength of the American people. However, he is also sometimes frustrated that many people are struggling, and that he wants to help them individually.

According to the White House spokesman, a Washington Post reporter named Eli Saslow will be the responsible for creating the book.
