Japanese Book Questions Obama "Hawaii" Birth (Saw In Tokyo Bookstore Today!)
Kazuyuki Hamada (translate by AmericanInTokyo) ^ | 23 July 2009 | AmericanInTokyo

A Freeper just this week asked me if books or articles are coming out on this hot issue here in Japan (i.e., the issue of Mr. Obama's alleged Hawaiian birth).

I replied "no", not to my knowledge--although other critical works are emerging.

Then THIS:

I saw in fact another book today in Tokyo rather negative on Obama (stacked next to this book).

This one, in Japanese, in fact was from an American actually based in Japan, a free journalist, who had pretty good creds in the J-business it seemed. I will try to get the title and cover shot of that book as well, and post it later. It looked like it was tearing the O Administration a new one over failed economic policies bordering on disaster.

Yikes!

BTW, there must be a software that shows you exactly where you would be on the very opposite of the earth. Of course all you would have to do is just reverse your longitudes and latitudes and find the spot. But I digress.

... but I saw at least three or four more recently written Japanese-language, high profile books critical of Obama, most questioning his leadership, his lack of depth while being good at speeches, and his ability to deliver on all the promises.

That is one of the favorite lines of people who talk about Obama, and that includes democrats and republicans alike. They all say he is good at his speeches, but all he is doing is reading off the teleprompter! Take away that teleprompter and it gets ugly for Zero.

Good report from Japan, thanks.

I went back to that bookstore and just did a quick, free read (tachiyomi as they say in Japan), and then left, just enough to input into my brain to report on that interesting chapter from the Japanese book on Obama the following:

A) Yep, they really tear into him on this issue.

B) They question his birth and the official story about it in Hawaii. It appears to be phony. For a variety of reasons, his citizenship in the USA could not be legitimately carried over to him, so somebody perhaps manufactured the Hawaii Birth Story.

C) Japanese journalists are calling Hawaii (state government, etc) to get copies and comments, but are being hung up on and everyone is being pushed away with no comments.

D) Many Americans believe this story and it has a potential for brewing into a major scandal.

E) Said billboards are appearing around Los Angeles area asking "What About The Birth Certificate?"

F) Somebody has apparantly floated a phony birth certificate online to shoot down this brewing scandal, because laser printers would not have been around at the time that Obama was born, so raises a lot of doubt.

G) Gibbs at the White House is adopting a totally ignore the charges approach, focusing on the future and saying that all questions have been answered.

Did a good job of reporting to the Japanese readers of this book the official citizenship requirements and native soil birth requirements based on the US Constitution for anyone to occupy the White House.

Also saw this book too, by a Canadian in Japan, really smacking the Obama Administration and exposing them:

On Amazon Japan.com, and also one of the reviewers said "all Japanese should read this book and would be really surprised", and also pointed out the Tea Parties which could be seen on YouTube and invites fellow Japanese to dig deeper than the general media is reporting about Obama.....

Hey, AiT,

Did the Japanese media ever investigate the 134.5 Billion dollars in US notes that were caught trying to be smuggled from Italy to Switzerland?

Maybe Japan is afraid America has been taken over by a Manchurian candidate and they’re trying to disentangle themselves from us financially.

The Japanese know the Obama story all too well..... he’s doing exactly what the corrupt bureaucrats in Japan did that put them in the horrible financial situation they were in in the 90’s.

I’m reading a few books on their financial collapse... and Obama is doing everything they did, right down to using the exact same rhetoric. It’s creepy!!!!

Bingo! You hit it right on the head. The parallels to the bursting of the Japanese economic bubble and the current mess America is in are very apparent.

They saw this movie before, and they didn’t like the way it ended.

The flip side of the coin is that although Japan’s economic downturn in the 80s and early 90s didn’t have much impact on the US, America’s economic woes are having a real global impact.

Japan has every right to be worried about Obama — in all respects. He’s a lightweight socialist who coddles enemies, ignores friends and who has absolutely no idea how to do anything except read a good speech.

We WARNED those idiots... (Obama voters). We TOLD them this guy had never actually accomplished anything. Never ran a company, worked a solid job for a solid wage....

I wish my Nihongo was as good as yours, though.

Alas, I have a hard enough time with English.
