First, that idiotic Obama Imperial "bow" four months ago in Tokyo, now another abject slap across the face of critical Asia by official Washington D.C. (Obama Administration) by a bunch of absolutely useless and hopeless international, diplomatic OAFS.

The Japanese story (per link) is short but actually good. Slams Gibbs and their attitude, and also then, humorously so, gets into good detail for the Japanese people about Obama not being so wildly popular in the United States anymore.

No joke, this is the closing paragraph, written as if they are breaking the news to the Japanese slowly somehow that Icarus has fallen from the sky...which will surprise so many Japanese as they had this Obama out as a God for many months on end both in mainstream Japanese press and mainstream foreign press on which the Japan press often uncritically fed.

Folks, you cannot make this stuff up. They even mention right in the end that Barack Obama now seems to be avoiding the American Press, even more vigorously so than his predecessor, George W. Bush - due to Obama's plummeting public support. (Paraphrasing synopsis-wise in English from the original Japanese)

Back on Superbowl Sunday, I remarked to a friend of mine, in response to his statement that “the world had a better image of the U.S. with Obama”, that my friend needed to get his mind out of the mental prison of the major U.S. media outlets, because that image had been largely manufactured by them, while the facts of what Obama was doing and would do was already undermining that sales job.

I’m reminded of a previous post of yours in which you said (I’m paraphrasing) “The Japanese WILL get even for the shafting of Toyota”.

This looks like it may be the beginning of that ‘getting even’ campaign.

"It’s that same kind of misguided thinking that is seen throughout the Administration’s foreign policy decisions. Our President spent a year reaching out to hostile regimes, writing personal letters to dangerous dictators, and apologizing for America. And what do we have to show for that? Here’s what we have to show. North Korea tested nuclear weapons and longer range ballistic missiles. Israel, a friend and a critical ally, now question[s] the strength of our supports. Plans for a missile defense system in Europe? They’ve been scrapped. Relations with China and Russia are no better. And relations with Japan -- that key Asian ally -- they’re in the worse shape in years." - Sarah Palin, Keynote Speech, The Inaugural Tea Party Convention

0 can’t seem to make time for our allies, instead he makes time to visit our enemies during a Soviet throwback parade.

Did you see today’s WSJ story about the $100 million loan Japan supposedly made to the US in 1969 in exchange for giving up Okinawa ?

Good.

Now I’m really ticked off — think I’ll go buy a new Toyota in support of our friends, the Japanese. My old one is 2003; time for another though nothing wrong with the ‘03!

Yes, it’s unthinkable, rude, amateur, crass, etc. President Eeyore-bama obviously off-balance and it sends our potential allies closer to the China column. This makes things worse for Japan as well as for the U.S.

Someone please stop the bleeding.....

The White House is filled with arrogant chicago scum. From emperor bammy down to baghdad bob gibbs, not a single one of them cares in the least about our one time allies, and I say one time allies because bammy doesn't view them as anything but subjects to serve his ego.

We are going to reap a grand harvest of ill will for a long time once that halfrican fool and the intestinal parasites he has surrounded himself with have been relegated to the cesspool of history.
