As always thanks for post. Very interesting. Hope you get some news about Japanese reporting of visit to India: cost, number of people, etc.

Thanks again.

LOL!!! JUST GREAT!!! ;-)

Indian news media is already full of that, and even more reporting on such Government Waste in the India Trip, that CBSNBCABCCNNMSNBC will not do about that, while Obama is in India, will in fact come through unfiltered in the Indian media. Many of us here will post such media in the next few days, to humiliate this guy even further on the global stage and tell the truth back home to the PEOPLE.

Wow, AIT. If I’m not mistaken......in the culture over there.....that’s pretty strong language, amirite? ‘Slap to the face’???? Yeeeeaaaoooooowch! Correct me if I’m wrong.

Translator’s prerogative, but it comes out to that kind of phrase, otherwise “electrifying, painful stun”, the more direct translation.

オバマ氏の変革に痛撃

First 3 characters are katakana O BA MA, a natural for Japanese, オバマ

Next is an honorific version of Mister, 氏

Then is the particle NO, の, which always stands out. It announces the following as pertaining or belonging to Mr Obama.

These mean "revolution", or "reformation" , 変革

Then the particle NI, に, meaning to or at the preceding.

Then finally a "severe blow", 痛撃

so going back to front, "Severe blow to revolution of the Honorable Mister Obama"

Ouch!
