Japan Crazy for Obama
Posted on 30. Oct, 2008 @ 11:50 pm by harvey in Culture, Media
Obama Japan is for Obama! Old news, but I had never seen all these incredible videos until last night.
The letter that Obama signed has some Japanese in it as well. It reads, “あなたの友人” (anata no yuujin) which means, your friend.
Here is another Obama in Japan video that is umm… lower profile.
Japan is for Obama! Gallup world surveys show that the rest of the world is for Obama as well! (except for Al Qaeda, who support McCain as it’s good for recruiting) Don’t disappoint the world! Get out and vote.

From what I’ve seen on Japanese TV, there’s been very little coverage of McCain and zero coverage of third party candidates so it’s not surprising most Japanese are for Obama.
If I were American, I would vote for a third party, and I think it’s a shame those candidates aren’t allowed to participate in the debates and let the people hear what they have to say.

I’ve voted for third parties in the past. Not this election though… Not this time… America’s reputation has too much riding on the outcome to mess around.

Harvey – I never make choices this important based on what other people’s preferences are. My vote is my chance to have my say in a way that truly counts, not voice what people elsewhere would like more. You know? I am not obligated to vote for someone because the world wants me to – that’s just weird thinking to me. Vote because you’re convinced that your candidate is the right person for the job and because you prefer them over the opposition. You know?

In light of the election results, I’m laughing at the posts your blog says are ‘potentially related’:

Harvey – The article would have been presented a lot better if you took it lightly and wrote it with a purpose of sharing your observations and not as a way to invite readers to do what the world would like them to do. I may have to agree then with Deas — it would have probably been a lot better if you did not include this: “Don’t disappoint the world! Get out and vote.”
But of course, that is what blogs are all about, right? Write whatever you have in mind and let the world know what you’re thinking of. In this light, I may have to respect your point of view.
