Asahi Shimbun is a considerably liberal Japanese daily newspaper with immense public circulation. Number two here in Japan, in fact.
Further, Google Japan/News will show that the Van Jones story is just starting to break hard and fast. Japanese media are slowly being forced into the position, many of them, to finally report for the first time in Japan to their readership, that Obama is actually losing considerable popularity, something that would surprise most Japanese readers as they have been force-fed Obama for the last six months, as if he were some kind of Messiah. It is just a few stories for now, but keep a watch on this link, they will no doubt grow. I am waiting for the conservative Sankei Shimbun; they would really have a field day over this. They have been the most aggressive in exposing Obama in the Japanese press.

These are interesting developments here overseas....

Thanks for your report! Good to know that even in Japan, the Obama commies can’t escape notice!

Can I say something about that headline gives me very happy feelings inside without getting a Secret Service visit? :-)
Seriously, SS guys, I want the President to be safe just as much as you do. Don’t hassle me.

“...this development has all the trappings of being a new smack in the face...”
If that’s not a new FReeperism, I don’t know what is!

I trust your translation but I read it as “...this development has all the trappings of being bitch slapped.”

Thank you.
But in this day and age, I could do it just as easily as if in beautiful downtown Beaufort, S.C. with a high speed modem!
But words definitely appreciated there, G113.

“...right in the middle of President Obama’s declining popularity as being hit on his health care reform policies, comes this resignation.”
That sentence hit me that this was not just some two-bit racist commie that resigned - but is something bigger. I then for some reason thought of how I would have felt if it were some Bush appointee that was forced out. (Rumsfield?) And how the media portrayed it as a Bush failure, etc. and how serious I thought it was.
I sincerely hope that this IS just the tip of the iceberg of Obama’s future failures.
