Obama Acknowledges Obama City
ATV reports that Barack Obama has made his first public comment about Japan’s Obama City:
When asked if he knew about the town in Fukui Prefecture, he replied, “Yes! It’s a nice town!” [YES！ナイスタウンだよ]
The report mentions how Obama City is cheering him on, and that some local restaurants are naming dishes after the candidate.
In other Japan-related U.S. election news, one of Obama’s top advisers had the following to say about Hillary Clinton’s refusal to drop out of the primary race:
“They are going to have a very hard choice to make after Tuesday if she loses Texas or Ohio,” Mr Obama’s top adviser David Axelrod said. “There are people in the party who are very concerned about this turning into some kind of a Bataan Death March.”
