Jack Tapper is a complete ass

TAPPER: That recommendation suggests that the information coming from the Japanese government is inadequate.

CARNEY: It is -- that recommendation suggests that the advice the Japanese government is giving, based on the information it has, is different from the advice that we would be giving if this incident were happening in the United States of America. It is not about the quality of information; it is about the standards set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission here in the United States and the kind of advice it would be giving should this incident happen in the United States, or something similar to it.

So it is, again, not about the quality of information or the level of cooperation. It is about our analysis and our standards.

TAPPER: We have higher standards?

CARNEY: It's not about high or low, Jake. I'm just simply saying that this is our advice based on the information that we have.
