The Japanese are extremely polite and friendly.

I was waiting for a train in Yokohama station when I observed 2 elderly little japanese ladies who obviously hadn't seen each other for a while. Tons and tons of bowing back and forth as they exchanged polite greetings and chatted in the crowded station..... then the train came..... after that those ladies were a blur of elbows and umbrellas, parting the waves and attaining seats.....<g> It was quite a remarkable transformation......

Obama was so inundated with radical, anti-American rhetoric during his youth and career that he could not possibly appreciate any of the wrongs perpetrated by the Japanese---or the rest of our WWII enemies.
