New book out on stands in Japan which took many by surprise:
Title: "Obama Shitsugen De Manabu America" (オバマ失言で学ぶアメリカ), by Marie Nishimori (KK Bestsellers (2010/5/15) ISBN-10: 4584132372 ISBN-13: 978-4584132371
Subtitle: "Top 101 Gaffes of Barack Obama"
Background: As in many countries overseas, Japan went absolutely crazy two years ago at the prospect of a "President" Obama. Once he won, a whole cottage industry came alive, selling (hawking) CDs and texts of speech upon speech by He Who Must Be Worshipped, The Messiah, teaching Japanese everything from "the spirit of Change and Hope possible in Great America", to "correct English pronunciation through Obama", to "How to be a great English debater (a master debater as it were; sample below) just like President Obama", ad infinitum, ad naseum. These Japanese books flooded bookstores here all over in Japan, were seen on trains and were heavily bought, were made mandatory texts in some public schools and the like.
Now, however, things have gone south and the Kenyan Emperor apparantly has no clothes. LOL!
Cool. I think it’s a winner.
For those wondering, the title on the cover reads “AMERICA LEARNING FROM OBAMA”, but the text in read is interpolated so that it instead reads “AMERICA LEARNING FROM OBAMA’S GAFFES”.
