I was just there this weekend! There really isnt anything there... and I went just because of the name. They have Obama stuff all over the place and a picture of Kyung Lah in the souvenir shop. Funny stuff... really that ecomony there could use all the help it can get. Who would have guessed that they'd make money like this! btw... obama in japanese (at least the name of this town) translates into 'little beach'

i am an american and i have to say that we are the two things most people dislike...the big bully and the snobby rich kid.

and regarding specifically ii in Azian's comment...contrary to common belief, americans do NOT support the war in iraq. that is why Bush's approval rating is under 30. one poll has it under 20. which means that over 70% of americans don't approve of what he is doing as president.

we need a new president. the world needs a new president.

As a Malaysian, I don't really think whoever wins the American Presidency will bring much change to the USA's foreign policy, one way or the other.

America has always been an overbearing and obnoxious nation seeking to impose it's ideas on others when it's real hidden agenda is to enrich itself at other peoples' expense. America has always left a trail of death and destruction wherever it goes, witness:

i. the war in Afghanistan (thousands who were killed were civilians, "collateral damage" according to your Pentagon),
ii. the war in Iraq (thousands who were killed were civilians, "collateral damage" according to your Pentagon),
iii. the Vietnam War (why not ask the survivors of My Lai how "kind" the Americans were to them),
iv. America's support for the "democracy-loving" Shah of Iran and his secret police, the Savak,
v. America's support for the "benign and kindly" President Marcos of the Philippines,
vi. America's support for Pinochet in Chile and the thousands that "disappeared",
vii. America's continuing and biased support for Israel against the Palestinians and Lebanese. Thousands of Palestinian civilians and children have died and more are dying everyday due to Israeli bombing and economic sanctions/blockade. And America protests when a handful of Israelis get hurt !!!! Where's the fairness and impartiality ? Where's the compassion ?

America's bungling throughout the world has created innumerable suffering and devastation. America; enough of this incompetence and greed ! Stay at home ! America is as useful to the people of the world as a bullet in the head.

As an American living in Japan for the past four years it is refreshing to see Japanese and ex-pats from other nations reference my country with hope and optimism when discussing the election,rather than the disdain and resentment that comes with talking about the Bush administration. Our country's standing in the international community has never been lower. I say this as someone who has traveled extensively throughout Asia and the middle east, about 50% of the Anti-American sentiment worldwide is ant-Bush. A changing of the guard can only bring positive results. BTW I've never heard of the 'Troyan' horse, try 'Trojan'-retard.

I am not concerned about Obama's color skin But I am very preoccuped about his past: he is muslim, he can not denied that. Any one heard about the Troyan Horse? or just me?

The world is witnessing corruption penetrating through the US media. CNN has traded off its integrity just to promote Obama.
The american people wants the old unbiased CNN back. Is Obama's campaign paying the salary of the employees in CNN, just curious.

We are now relieving Martin Luther King's dream that one day all human beings, black, white and other will live together in unity. This is indeed a historic period when an African American had a very good chance of becoming the President of this great nation. Wow!!!. I really want to cry. This is superb.

Thanks for an interesting and lovely way,to report over the both democrats.Clinton/Obama. I belive you can not understand how important this is,also for us,people who are not Americans and lives on other continents,like I am,living in Sweden. We are following the "Race" exactly as You are. I am personaly one of the persons,who are not very fond of "gigolo-behaviar",standing with a microphone and shouting out just negative talking over my combatant,but more the "How do I act myself"-action. What´s happens to USA will also happen to us,good/bad,it`s easy to learn,just look at the news and read the history. Thank You for good broadcasting. K.K. P.S. I have a question; How can we call people "black" when they are,as faar as I can see, lightbrown,brown or darkbrown. Are most peple coulorblind or am I born with something wrong with my coulorseeing??
