"You see, the fundamental thing about human nature, and particularly in Asia, WEAKNESS INVITES DISDAIN AND LACK OF RESPECT. Obama is proving to be good at this."

Those sneakers in the pic of 0bambi from Indonesia...the four corners...

I guess they are asking for shoes to be thrown...

...at the next state of the (dis)union address...?

You guys are great. I am as much a fan of youse guys, as you are of me. Thanks. This is a team effort. We ferret out, produce and then viralize some of the most interesting bits and pieces of news out of Asia that goes right back in the faces of the elitists in Washington D.C. I love it.

He TWITTERED his change in plans instead of having the ambassador to Japan personally deliver his change of itinerary? Jeez, I am an ignorant gaijin and even I know how insulting this is. It is worse than sending the Queen of England DVD’s as a present.

What if Obama's NOT supid - what if he's intentionally insulting our friends?

Yes, it is insulting, but in a way it is good that everyone can see the real Obama more clearly.

It very well may be intentional. But the insult will be taken as being personally from him not from the US. I see this as a way to curry favor with the nations that hate the US.
