The Japanese daily equivalent to the American "Wall Street Journal", the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" (or "Nikkei" for short) has run a Japanaese language story just now reporting the slamming that Obama and Gibbs are getting for not only cancelling the Obama Asian trip, but in the rather crass, cavalier, informal and rude way it was apparantly gingerly announced (by Gibbs apparantly) through "Twitter".
Alludes in Japanese that this is insulting in an Asian context.
Original article (link provided to Japanese) is: 米大統領のアジア歴訪延期、「ツイッター発表」で波紋
Or my translation: "Obama's Asian Trip Postponement; (White House) Announcement Via 'Twitter' Causes Waves"

Yes, it is insulting, but in a way it is good that everyone can see the real Obama more clearly.I see Obama continues to win friends and influence people for this great Nation.
The man is dangerous.
