Hai, dekiru: Obama is big in Japan
Filed under: Barack Obama
A coincidence in name between Barack Obama and a town in western Japan has given the Democratic candidate some unlikely backers. Obama (our Barack) has sent a letter to Toshio Murakami (mayor of their town, also called Obama), thanking people for their support.
And the support has been vigorous:
Some 100 self-styled Obama supporters plan to gather wearing "I love Obama" t-shirts and headbands. The crowd will give a rousing Japanese chant of "Banzai" -- which means "Long live!" -- if Obama clinches the nomination.During the results, supporters will dine on food named after the senator , such as the "Obama Hamburger" and the "Obama Cutlet Roll".
はい 出来る!
[Hai, dekiru = Yes, we can. In this case, "Yes we can get a cutlet roll named after our candidate.]
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is once again hinting at a Clinton-Obama ticket. Translation: hey, Obama supporters! I like your guy, too. Please don't hate me.
