PALIN HITTING OBAMA ON SINKING US-JAPAN RELATIONS BIG HIT IN JAPAN MEDIA (My Translation from Tokyo)
Jiji Wire Services Press (in Japanese) ^ | 7 February 2010 | AmericanInTokyo

Posted on 02/07/2010 3:30:26 AM PST by AmericanInTokyo

Sarah Palin's knock 'em out of the ballpark Nashville Address last night is already causing major tidal waves on thie other side of the Pacific Ocean.

In her Tea Party address, Gov. Palin took the Obama Administration to serious task over plummeting US-Japan relations. She specifically mentioned that Japan is the KEY AMERICAN ALLY IN THE PACIFIC and clearly crossed swords with Barack Obama over his treatment of this critical bilateral tie.

Anyone who knows the Japanese media will know that when Japan is specifically talked about by name and particularly by a major US leader, ears perk up and the presses run. Below is my rough translation of went out throughout Japan to all media outlets via the Japanese version of AP Wire, "Jiji Press". Media is already starting to pick it up. YAHOO!Japan is playing it as a top news story, tagged "New!", same headline and Jiji disptach. CNN Japan running story, too, but they cannot get their facts straight. They refer to the Tea Party as a "Conservative GOP Organization"(sic). At any rate, I suspect the story will play in hard copy major national circulation dailies tomorrow our time (Monday) her in Tokyo.

This speech will usher in an era of Palin bashing the likes we've never seen. Be prepared.

And it won't be just the usual players. Its going to included prominent Republicans who have thus far, taken a more measured/joking tone regarding Palin.

Its going to get ugly.

And its going to backfire.

Because citizens of this country have had it with, as Sarah says, 'politics as usual'. Ankle biting and full assault via the MSM, leftists, and spineless, clueless (alleged) conservatives are part of that.

Do not be surprised if the first attack talking point is something like the following:

Sarah Palin has seemingly thrust herself to the throne of leadership in the Tea Party movement, a movement who's anger is reminiscent of Southern mobs opposed to racial integration.

There are three key negatives in that statement above. Can you pick them, and how they all tie in to the ultimate manufactured goal the MSM, leftists and RINOs are going to try with all their might to brand Sarah with?

......will BO/BS feel compelled to give some sort of rebuttal .....

I think he will. He can not stand criticism. She is under his skin or rattling his brain. He will not be able to resist.

He is definitely already on defense and must resist her strong frontal attack. His very manhood, not to mention his presidency, is at stake. He must respond to a white woman’s intense disrespect.

“...BO feel compelled to give some sort of rebuttal TOTUS speech...”

Obama’s not going to have a chance to do that today! Sarah’s going to double-down this afternoon on Fox News Sunday for an hour with Chris Wallace at 2 pm, I think. Right after church, amen.

Go, Sarah, Go! Hit him hard, hit him fast and hit him often!

He might have to go in as National Security Advisor, the Dem would put up a huge fight against his nomination as Sec State. Republican Senator Voinovich cried...cried in the well of the Senate in response to Bolton being nominated to UN Ambassador. What would the remaining progressives do to keep him out of Foggy Bottom?

I agree. It’s a lose/lose for him. A bigger lose if he directly responds to her speech.

Good for Sarah- she is seeing more then Russia from her porch. She is running on all spark plugs.
I was in TN at tea party- she was great.
