Not too hard to figure out, folks!

Word getting out bit by bit over here. Superstar status falling. This is from a major conservative daily newspaper with a large circulation. The elections yesterday also woke up a lot of people in Japan who were still fawning over The Messiah's teflon-like status.

Icarus may have flown too close to the sun!

Perhaps they will sense these 空スーツ (empty-suit) characteristics of Mr. Obama--which Americans have now "gotten"--when he visits here in Tokyo in a few more days. We will see.

Whait say.. Whasit say??????????

[a fool in paradise]

I don’t know but perhaps he will get a boost in approval in Japan this week. It’s been announced that the White House garden will be featured on Iron Chef (no joke).

[AmericanInTokyo]

Basically, they have translated something close to THIS:

...and thrown in the DISAPPROVAL LEVELS as well, for good measure.

[AmericanInTokyo]

He will manage to step in something over here and make an absolute fool of both himself and the USA. You can be sure of that.

The moment it happens, AiT and others will be on it.....

LINK HERE TO GREAT (SHORT) VIDEO CLIP OF JAPANESE TV NEWS TONIGHT

The classic Japanese sub-title near the end of the report says "this shows that the Obama Administration is not getting support on his Health Care Program and other policies in the United States" (my translation).

Great little 1-minute video clip if you can catch it. May be up for another 12 hours or so. Just hit the arrow at the video

Prezz transrate?

[AmericanInTokyo]

It’s not rocket science. It is a poll of “support level” for the Messiah. Just read the numbers on the chart! ;-)

[AmericanInTokyo]

Red line, support. Blue line, disapproval.

Signposts throughout his administration so far, such as Inauguration, Announcement of troop increase in Afghanistan, Speech before Congress on Chavezcare, then the mother of all battles, Announcement of even higher unemployment rates in October... That kind of thing.

[SevenofNine]

Kinda explain everything Sandrat about Obama LOL!

[Tailback]

Thanks for posting the Japanese view of things here on FR, I value your insight from that side of the pond. Also, because I’m something of an interested spectator when it comes to Japanese culture, I like to get your input. (even if you are gaijin)

Keep up the good work.

[festusbanjo]

Sayonara socialist bastard!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Thanks. Oh, here. Have a spare Obama I have.

Would you please arrange to invite him to dine on fugu prepared by a drunken chef?
