President Mr. Barack Obama
More than the American people, the Japanese people are concerned with realization of an African American President of the United States of America.
Japanese businessmen usually meet European Americans in their negotiations or cooperation at a higher level of corporate activities.
Japanese elite engaged in the academic field, the media, or any other cultural activities usually meet European Americans in their negotiations or cooperation at a higher level of bilateral activities.
As 65% or so of the U.S. populations is occupied by European Americans, it is very natural.
On the other hand, African Americans only account for 12% of the U.S. population.
Among them, those whose identification as being an African Americans is not linked with the historic fact of slavery and the Civil War must be a minority even among contemporary African Americans.
Then, why do American voters have to choose such a candidate who is categorized into such an exceptional group of the people?
Has the American society come to be truly a colorblind society?
Has the feeling of superiority of European Americans over African Americans vanished away in the American society?
Do European Americans really feel comfortable being surrounded by African Americans or being managed by African Americans?
Most of the Japanese people are really intrigued by the emergence of Mr. Barack Obama as the next U.S. President.
If the American society is not yet fully colorblind, the feeling of superiority of European Americans over African Americans has not yet vanished away, European Americans do not really feel comfortable being surrounded by African Americans or being managed by African Americans, but American voters still like to vote for Mr. Barack Obama, what does it mean?
No matter who a Democratic candidate is in terms of the racial background, the situations in the U.S. must force American voters to choose a Democratic President.
No matter what experiences a Democratic candidate has in terms of political and administrative background, the situations in the U.S. must force American voters to choose a Democratic President.
Then, the situations in the U.S. must be far graver than the Japanese people think and imagine.
Those situations are in fact clearly indicated by the exposed wrongdoings on Wall Street.
Nonetheless, there are some issues casting shadows to the emergence of the first African American President of the United States of America.
(i) Too much reliance of Mr. Obama’s campaign on the Internet and information technologies which often leverage social phenomena abnormally.
(ii) Less concern about reactions various players in the world political and economic communities will produce to see the very different type of the new U.S. President.
(iii) Too much fundamental challenges are left without exhaustive discussions between Republicans and Democrats, since the personality difference between the two candidates is so stark.
[(iv) There is still one thing common between President Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama, which is higher academic background, while Jesus Christ loves more those without much schooling.]
Anyway, the inauguration of the first African American President must owe its realization to the support from poor European Americans the number of which must be 100 million including children and elders.
*********************************************************
That is all for today.
But, easy come, easy go.
The Obama boom might stay longer, or it might be gone soon.
Yet after all, the real trend of, and decision by, millions of poor European Americans must be recorded significantly in the history.
All I hope is that such poor European Americans will eventually turn to the God.
It is so, since if one percent of them do so, we can assume that there would be a million or so believers and followers of Jesus Christ in the U.S.
