PALIN CRITICIZES OBAMA FOREIGN POLICY, SAYS US-JAPANESE RELATIONS "ARE AT THEIR WORST CONDITION"

日米関係「最悪の状態」＝オバマ外交を批判－ペイリン氏

JIJI PRESS, Washington, D.C. reporter

"Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska who was the 2008 nominee by the Republican Party for Vice President, delivered a speech yesterday in Nashville at the national convention of the conservative alliance "Tea Party". "

She criticized Obama on his foreign policy. And regarding Japan-US relations she said, "(they) are our most critical ally in Asia and yet now US-Japan Relations are suffering an unprecedented low." She also stated regarding the US President's foreign policy that "Obama has only been president for one year, and already he has an outstretched hand to our enemies like Iran and North Korea". It is an item of interest as to whether or not she will be a candidate for President in the next election, but she stated "the Tea Party movement should not be centered around one sole individual, but should be a grassroots, expanding movement".

Thanks for the update.

[Bahbah]

Excellent. She chose her themes well. I am glad to see this being picked up.

[MortMan]

But, but, but... Bob Shrum said Governor Palin was mean and hate-filled!

Whatever she decides to do politically, Governor Palin has my admiration.

Whoever she has advising her (assuming she has PR advisers) deserves a raise!

Remember David Aselrod ? Rahm Emanuel, Obama, Crissy Mathews, Janet, all the world leaders,

The GOD of Israel is in charge,
he is sitting on his throne.
He is going to show all his power and glory, and no one can stop him....

Thank you so much for the article AND the ‘FreePranslation’ ;)

The Hand of the GOD of Israel is on Sarah Palin, and all the dirty tricks, schemes , will not stop the hand of GOD...

I was wondering while watching her speech will BO/BS feel compelled to give some sort of rebuttal TOTUS speech or let it slide? If the former then he is setting the precedent of either responding to a private citizen’s personal opinion or acknowledging she is and will continue be a threat to his reelection in 2012. In either scenario BO/BS would be giving her more credibility and attention by responding directly to her.

Apparently, all that bowing and scraping hasn’t bought him any credibility.

Excellent! Thanks for translating and posting!

What do you think of the idea of Sarah Palin visiting Japan?

Lets assume her and her family intend to visit Tokyo Disneyland, and during the stay may make a public speech concerning future relations with the US and Japan and global security, trade, yada yada yada?

BTTT

Thanks for this. I always look forward to your insights and translations as to what is being thought over there.

[FreedomPoster]

Thanks for posting.

How is the 0bama admin’s handling of Toyota playing out in Japan?

Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood, brags about how they went to Toyota’s headquarters in Japan to “wake them up?” Even after Lahood smears Toyota as “safety deaf” and threatens that they’re “not done with Toyota?”

I was hoping Sarah Palin would say, “Look, obaMA, no teleprompter!” First thing I noticed when she stepped up to speak.

Excellent post. Thanks.

What else would anyone expect from the CNN Propaganda Machine?

[my small voice]

Smart move by Sarah. She was pretty effective last night.
