[BREAKING] JAPAN MAINSTREAM "NIKKEI" NEWS CALLS OBAMA CANCELLING ASIA TRIP (VIA TWITTER) "INSULTING"
Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Tokyo (Original in Japanese) ^ | 14 March 2010 | AmericanInTokyo

Posted on 03/13/2010 8:36:15 AM PST by AmericanInTokyo

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"

Are there ANY of our allies who he hasn’t insulted? Are there any of our enemies who he hasn’t embraced?

I appreciate that. But I would not use "outpost" though ;-) Not from the world's second largest economy, clearly one of the most modern, cleanest, hardworking nations on the earth in terms of daily living, with 160 million interesting people, if not tops in some of these categories....Japan. But I get the point and accept the thanks. Blessings to you....;-)

Just wait until the PM’s movies-on-dvds [wrong format] arrive and the Emperor gets an iPod of Obama’s greatest speeches.

That’ll smooth things over.

So, let’s see. Obama has ticked off the Japaneese, Israel, England, Poland, all the eastern European democracies, Turkey, Sarkozy in France and Honduras. He’s kissed up to all our sworn enemies. This is the guy who the left says has “improved” the United States’ standing and respect in the world? Right, Gotcha.
