I found this touching eulogy by Japan's PM a personal affront to the Japanese govt., especially in front of Obama with his nose stuck in the air.

Of all the years that Obama has been in office, why now? Why not back on Dec. 7?

I can see it now, "Japan finally apologizes to Obama".

I watched the PM and his eulogy was indeed touching and heart felt but damn, having Obama standing behind him just ruined it all..........

As a side note, the signing of surrender by Japan on the deck of the Missouri on 9/2/45 is the only apology I have ever expected or wanted from Japan...........

Agree. He should have waited a year.

I also think we need to rethink the collective guilt over internment camps for the Japanese here. If they followed Shintoism, they believed the Emperor was god. Not having tens of thousands of potential subversive elements running around during war time was a necessary step. We should consider it well in the future.

Obola isn't on a vacation in Hawaii on Dec. 7th.

Keep in mind he is the laziest Pres in history about to be surpassed by the hardest working in history.

The contrast will be surreal.
