So, if you're wondering if Obama would ever consider making the same move the EU is making on banks in Cyprus?
Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jay Carney, 03/18/2013 | The White House
Not: "The president is adamently against this"
Not: "This is a move we expect from communist countries ruled by despots and the president rejects such policies"
Not: "This is money is supposed to be protected by the government not taken by the government."
But: "Our general proposition is that we believe it’s very important for Europe to take steps necessary, as they have been, to both grow and deal with sovereign debt issues."
So, I think it's safe to say the lack of condemnation - but rather direct support of such theft of peoples' personal property - can be interpreted as Obama would take steps as necessary to address our debt.
Problem with the debt? Not when there is an endless pot of wealth to confiscate.

Q Thank you. What’s the U.S. take on this EU plan with Cyprus that would basically call on Cyprus’s government to raid the personal accounts of its citizens?
MR. CARNEY: Well, I would refer you to the Treasury Department. We’re obviously monitoring the situation right now. Our general proposition is that we believe it’s very important for Europe to take steps necessary, as they have been, to both grow and deal with sovereign debt issues. But as regards this particular situation, I’d refer you to Cyprus -- beyond saying that we’re monitoring it -- I mean, refer you to Treasury beyond saying that we’re monitoring it.
