Obama condemns North Korea rocket launch

This is a very tense time for the White House; having to deal with rising unemployment, recession, rebuilding America, and now North Korea rocket launch. Even though North Korea failed in its attempt to get a satellite into space, US President Barack Obama urged Pyongyang to "refrain from further provocative actions". While North Korea is not a new threat to the West, learning about their testing and attempting to launch satellites and rockets, makes them a larger and more significant threat.
