For Cleo:

I asked, "Why is the Japanese media so obsessed with the racial angle of this election ?"

I have to agree with the general premise here... Obama is super star material and the world would love the opportunity to bask in his glory for a few hot summer months in 2016 !

"The U.S. economy will suffer, as households respond to depreciating real and financial assets and tightening financial conditions...In Japan, the support to growth from net exports is expected to decline"

Toyota is just another one of them Japanese companies that has been sponging off the good will, and open markets, of the US citizenry for years now. For anyone in Japan to point an angry finger blaming Americans for their economic troubles is an absolute farce. Companyies should not have…

"The U.S. president, whose vast unpopularity weighed down fellow Republican and chosen successor John McCain’s campaign"

"Officials aiming to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to Tokyo fear that Barack Obama’s victory in the U.S. presidential election will have a positive effect on the bid of his hometown of Chicago"
