President Obama's campaign promise was "withdrawal in 16 months, depending on the situation on the ground". Most Americans would want to get out sooner than this plan, but he is acting to fulfill that campaign promise, so let's watch and see how it goes.

nisegaijin, please allow me to explain 'why' that comment was completely uncalled for: President Obama probably does not speak Japanese, but Aso has a pretty good command of English, well enough to get any point across in a face-to-face meeting with the President. Certainly better than Koizumi did. It was actually impressive, given Aso's political troubles at home. Assistants and diplomats, of course, handle the fine details.
I would also guess that Aso's assessment of President Obama's interest seems comparative, almost as if another U.S. President DIDN'T listen to Aso, or anyone else for that matter.
Obama? Well, so far he didn't start a war in a country that couldn't/didn't attack his, he didn't allow an entire city to drown, he didn't destroy the world economy. But other than that, we'll see if you're right.
Posted in: President Obama looked me in the eye and listened attentively to every word I said, demonstrating great sincerity. This was very impressive.

If Tokyo keeps trying to be good at things that other cities are already good at, graying has-been. If Tokyo continues to enjoy its own identity, super-hub.

Just his nation? Probably most nations. Nakagawa probably isn't privy to any more doomy predictions than we non-trust-fund-babies are, but he was supposed to know how to do something about it. That weight and an existing drinking problem.. and you get mister "trying to grab the statues".

Disillusioned,
I don't think the numbers bear this out. NationMaster.com has crime stats and Japan isn't even in the top ten in many categories.

Skip, health care reform is tops or near the top of the list of what practically American wants. But getting it done in Washington is practically impossible. Obama want to get Kansas Governor Sebelius for Health Sec'y.. she has a good record of working with Republicans, although that skill doesn't seem too important to me since the party of Eric Cantor and rash limbo is refusing to cooperate at any cost.
