It’s refreshing to learn that the international media is not as goo goo eyed about Obama as we’d been lead to believe...that there are some critical thinkers out there...and that people outside of the US aren’t cowed by the Alinsky tactics used to silence anyone who has any questions about his background.

What about the press in Japan generally speaking? What is their overall opinion of Obama...not just on this issue?

Yes. It is called "circumspection" (用心深さ)and "objectivity from a distance" (遠くからの客観性).

The press in Japan, i.e. the name-brand mainstream, is still undecidedly pro-Obama, but some of them are starting to break.

Whereas North Korea does not weigh on the mind of most Americans, it is a deadly serious issue with 99.9% Japanese, and since Obama is really endangering the whole island with his policy--which has been highly visible and picked through in great detail even more so than Ross Perot's charts--on nationwide Japanese TV, this seems to be the impetus to kicking off an increasing amount of criticism of Obama these days in other sectors. His weakness on the economy and unemployment. His prediliction for soaring taxes. We will have to see if it picks up as a general movement. Right now these kinds of books and magazine articles are only just starting--but I am starting to see them increase in frequency and intensity which is now definitely noticeable. There was almost NONE OF THIS AROUND here in Japan four or five or six months ago....but the adulation could not have lasted as we all knew. We just had to be patient. Stay tuned.
