SueRae, that is the initial man on the street sense I am getting here in Tokyo. The more they know Herman Cain's executive and managerial and naval/mathematics/economics background, the more they respect him. To most Japanese, they have HIGH respect for those in BUSINESS and particularly SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS and turnaround records. Something Cain has TONS of and Obongo has ZILCH--as they found out (and the World Economy for that matter). Their investments in the USA are suffering horrendously under Geitner, Bernanke and Obongo. In fact, I would say there is general disdain toward Obama now by vast segments of the Japanese business community. They know him as an empty suit, they were fooled by his empty promises, and they can read the numbers and know he is a bumbling idiot, no more than a second rate US Senator briefly and before that a "community organizer". Little respect is afforded these days from the halls of power in Tokyo toward Barack Hussein Obama. (That is part and parcel why Secretary Panetta is getting his ass over here for damage control as they have let US-Japan relations rot and fester like an open-pus sore for the past sorry three years, and are now in urgent damage control with the elections coming up. They are going to need a LOT of frequent flyer miles to turn this bugger around though.) It's almost hopeless, I don't even know why they run up the costs of airfares and using Yokota Air Base for these junkets to try to reverse course. Give it up!!
