First off, a video about Obama City from the Associated Press:

Ron Paul.

For the first time, a Japanprobe poll has too few choices.

This is a poll asking users to choose between the two candidates for the democratic party primary. The last Obama post had a poll with a big list of candidates, and I felt it would be too soon to post the exact same poll again.

Sorry, forgot the smiley.

I guess the point is they both suck. But the people who support Obama kind of scare me. The ones who cry tears of joy at the rallies. Reminds me of some old black and white films from Germany in the 1930s.

What scares me even more is Obama has so many people supporting him, even though they really don’t know what he stands for, except “CHANGE”. Though I guess I can understand the Democrats desire to see their party freed from the clutches of the Clintons.

I think you underestimate just how much Obama’s supporters do indeed know. And I’m not skeptical at the hope that he’s finally instilled in me and many others. There are supporters of much less innocuous people that should perhaps frighten you more.

I support Obama. But I do agree that many peoples’ support is “empty.”

Really, if we’re talking empty supporters, Ron Paul supporters deserve top honor. Especially since a lot of his support comes from the internet yet he opposes Net Neutrality. That says a lot right there.

Agreed they both suck either one will ruin america even more than it already has been.

Not quite sure how you could possibly think the country could get any worse…

Pretty weird coincidence still. I’m rooting for Obama.

Ditto. I want Obama branded chopsticks, that would be cool.

none because Ron Paul makes a better president.

I lived about an hour down the road from Obama for about ten years. It’s a beautiful little town, right on the sea, way out in the country. I love the people – my son was very sick after birth, and spent a month in Obama hospital. The doctor and his staff were very kind.

This is getting a little bit out of hand…

Where’s the option for “I prefer to stay on the topic of the blog”? I thought this blog was about Japan?
