This month Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States. I found a few clips about President Obama and Japan. Obama is also a name is Japan. In the first clip a man named Obama who has become famous in Japan as the Japanese Obama travels to the USA with very little command of the English language to meet Obama. His never give up attitude comes from Obama's words "Yes We Can". I think this video shows how people in other countries have also been inspired by Obama. Nothing much going on with me this month because the weather has been horrific this winter in Iowa. Every week snow, ice and dangerously cold weather. I’m definitely suffering from cabin fever this month. In Japan I usually feel like this during the long hot humid summer when we have rainy season and then typhoon season.



In this next clip CNN reports about the city of Obama in Japan.



And in the last clip the Obama song. I've never seen the Japanese get this excited about their own elections.
