In the White House report and schedule, highlighted on the White House Home Page, they refer to a planned meeting in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister "Yoshiko" (sic) Noda. "Yoshiko" is a common female Japanese name. This had the Japanese scratching their heads with one big massive "WTH?!" (See video)

The actual given name of the Prime Minister of the world third largest economy, Japan, is a male name as the Prime Minister himself is very male. ("Yoshihiko").

This would be akin to a briefing book or press release prepared out of the Prime Minister's Agency in advance of a top official visit to the US, making reference to "Barbara Obama".

Amateurs.

Still.

Wonder if they will have Leaker-In-Chief Donilon engage in the stupid looking feigned Japanese bowing deep with hand extended for handshake-type greetings which is also a social faux pas in Japan and which Obama goofed up over. Or Obama's senior staff three years ago in Tokyo at the Prime Minister Hatoyama's office falling asleep or yawning due to "jet lag". You can't make this stuff up. Will adults ever be in charge again (when it comes to one of the most critical US bilateral foreign relations with a major friendly power)?

Thanks for sharing, AIT, as we won’t see this in restricted America.

BTTT!

Not to worry. The head of the Regime knows where he and his country stand with respect to the world.

The President of the United States is a disgrace!

Third picture....”Our Apologies”...thought that was the new official White House apology page..

That's IT !!!

Barbara obama.

Rush ... are you listening ??

[CrappieLuck]

I remember a year or so ago that Obama called his own wife “Michael” when he misread the teleprompter.

If he can’t get his own wife’s name correct, we can’t expect much more out of him in foreign countries.

HAHAHAHA!

The only thing funnier would be if Noda noritsukkomi-ed the mistake.

“So desu ne~. Atashi, genki shitemasu wa~. DO AHO!”

Get huma’s whore to hit the reset button.

Here are some nice Yoshikos for comparison:

I’m sure the NYT will give full attention to this gaffe, as they have been doing every time Romney gets an unfavorable headline abroad. Yes, that’s sarcasm.

Barbara 0bama

[Kirkwood]

Ironically, Barack is also a girl’s name.

[mkjessup]

I think Japan should host a diplomatic dinner for 0bama and his crew, including Donilon.

With sloppily prepared fugu (blowfish), for the honored guests.

Thanks for the ping AiT, don’t forget about us back here behind the Communist enemy lines.

If Sarah Palin did this we’d never hear the end of it - but a dem? The MSM doesn’t care...

The MSM insults our Japanese friends and the half of Americans who are conservative...
