Japanese News (Translated): Today's Vote Is "No Confidence" Measure Regarding Obama

Chugoku News (Original In Japanese) ^ | 2 November 2010 | Tohru Mukai, Reporter

[AmericanInTokyo]

Chugoku Shimbun (News), in Japan, is from the Hiroshima region of the country. Their online report of the election just appeared in original Japanese.

During these wee hours in the USA, I'm happy to "FReepranslate" the first paragraph and article headline as follows:

"US Midterm Elections: Republicans Heading For Landslide?"

"Washington Reporter, Tohru Mukai: "Polls one day before the big US midterm elections show a 15 point lead of popularity of the Republican Party over the Democratic Party. For all intents and purposes, tomorrow's vote in the US is a vote of confidence or no confidence against President Obama. Even despite Michelle Obama and former President Clinton barnstorming key battleground states in a final effort, it has come to this."

Tell the truth. Can you REALLY read that? 8)

[sourcery]

Hey, thanks for the translation. Don’t speak Japanese, but do speak Russian, French, German and Spanish. Japanese has been on my “to do” list since I was in college, but that’s 30 years ago now...

[plinyelder]

HEY .. Copy and paste messed up all my words.

(Now I can’t read it! 8)

[AmericanInTokyo]

The Japanese are "hip" and "hep" to ol' Soetero.

There is even a book out these days ridiculing not only Obama, but also Vice President Bite Me, and Nancy Pelosi:

Title: "Learn About American Through The Gaffes of Barack Obama"

[AmericanInTokyo]

It takes at least three Asahi Super Dry's -- but yes, I can manage somehow. Starting to celebrate early here, actually... (hiccup!!) ;-)

[South40]

The American people have no confidence in Obama and they will show it tomorrow.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Darned strait on that one, FRiend. Big Time.

[plinyelder]

Starting to celebrate early here, actually... (hiccup!!) ;-)

Your either starting the festivities .. awful darn early or else .. It isn't 3:30 am in Japan! 8)

[SaraJohnson]

Music to my hears. Thanks!

[SaraJohnson]

Change that to “music to my EARS” Sorry.

[thecodont]

Thank you!

[max americana]

Awesome dude. Hope you wont forget the annual AIT non-pc Christmas pics in Tokyo where they all say Merry Christmas.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yep, that's coming up, max. Thank you for reminding me. Gotta get out there with the digi-camera again for 2010 in Tokyo. Hope to take a lot of pics. ;-) It should be a very good Christmas 2010 (if the Yemeni's don't hit the USA/Europe between now and then).

[AmericanInTokyo]

If one is starting in early on the Japanese and other Asian beers in celebration here in Japan [have voted absentee with a clear conscience and am off duty], (we can do that as it is getting dark here on Tuesday, the eve of a Japanese National Holiday), then either version is cool!! ;-)

The Japanese are "hip" and "hep" to ol' Soetero.

MORE THAN A THUMPIN'

Obama says Dems are in trouble because Americans aren't thinking clearly. He's delusional.

Time to put the federal beast back into its cage.

Forget the polls, forget the media spin. Go to the ballot box and put an end to the Dem Party on November 2, 2010.

Throw this putrid congress out on their heads.

Mr. & Mrs. Liar in chief.

This ain't going to end well for these Statists

The Rats are shovel-ready for the dust bin of history.

Thanks AIT!

Hopefully in the Ginza district where the rich chicks are LOL.
