Wow, Obama is causing the unemployment rates in other countries to go up too!
Anyhow, his two major campaign promises, relocation of U.S. base and warmer relationship with N. Korea and China are now dead. Naturally, his credibility is called into question.
Surely BHO has done worse. Can he resign?
You’re telling me that an extreme lefty head of a state who promised unicorns and rainbows was not able to deliver and had to resign?
I envy Japan.
My first reaction was that this guy was kind of a nut job. Just as well that he is resigning.
But also, I’m kind of worried. All of the alliances we have built up over the years are falling apart. There are potential crises building up just about everywhere around the world, and this could get serious.
It’s not militaristic American presidents who start wars. It’s idiots who don’t know what the hell they’re doing.
And who do the Japanese now vote for? Do they go back to the old ruling party, which was also getting pretty tired?
These girlie-leaders are so transparantly loopy.
So, ruling against the will of the people is tough in Japan, too?

Oh my. I don’t think DPJ has a viable replacement. If LDP did not tear itself apart, they could have made a strong comeback.
But, but, but .... the norks are acting up! Doesn’t Japan need an appeaser in charge?
I’m glad he’s gone, but it’s going to be a total mess figuring things out now!
It seems to me the Japanese are being just a bit rash, considering the precarious situation west of them in the Korean peninsula. They might not be in such a rush to get rid of out base on Okinawa... But hey, I would be HAPPY if they started footing their own bill and carrying their own weight in that part of the world militarily.
It’s PAST time that Japan rejoin responsible FREE nations in gaurding liberty and standing gaurd for freedom against the likes of Communist China, their pets the Norkies, and the other Communist species in the region, the Vietnamese. Not to mention the Islamofascists in parts of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand.
We’re ready for you to help us bear this burden Japan — THANK YOU for being our FRIEND! :-D
It’s too boring for Marines to be in Okinawa, what will they tell their grand kids what they did in the Iraq/Afghan wars?

Missed it by a “z” and a “w”.
Another leftist bites the dust; Australia is next!
Its no different than here. Campaign promises are mostly lies,...then the winner gets into office, and says...”whoa”, and realize they don’t know what they hell they are doing.
Hopefully they will have competent people around them to shine the turd as fast as they can. In the case of the U.S.,..it not only smells,..but the shine is a facade from morning dew.
