That is their only solution. I can sense this coming by the tone of the TV and the people.
As they just more or less said on live Japanese TV here a few minutes ago, a) Obama is unreliable; and b) America is financially broke.
Japanese are no dummies are they. If I were them I would draw the same conclusions--time to saddle up and look out for ourselves.
I respect your opinion - is that good or bad? I'd say welcome back to the game.
