(City and Suburb around Tokyo)Ask and be Given like Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama
In my dream of the last night or early this morning, I saw Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso and U.S. President Mr. George W. Bush in addition to some Japanese honest politicians who wanted more of my say on recent situations.
So, I have to go to trouble to extend my view on U.S. politics, since Japan must take more important part in the international community and the coming era of history.
SECTION I: President Mr. George W. Bush
The Clinton Administration really disappointed people on its last days, since President Mr. Clinton looked less Christian than is expected for any U.S. President.
Then, his designated successor Vice-President Mr. Al Gore looked too intellectual and knowledgeable to behave and look humble in the 2000 Presidential Election.
So, American voters hesitated to fully support the Democratic Presidential candidate Mr. Al Gore in 2000, since the Republican candidate Mr. George W. Bush looked humble as he less boasted about his intellectual faculties than his rival.
American voters chose a President looking and behaving more Christian if not fully wielding merits he had acquired through higher education.
Indeed when an intellectually arrogant candidate, if not Mr. Gore, with a strong sense of being one of the American elite had been defeated by a self-declared regenerated Christian, exemplified by Mr. Bush, with compassion for students incapable of keeping up with classroom studies, not only Americans but also people in the world would have naturally thought that change came to America in 2000, as it actually happened.
Mr. Al Gore seemed to have many highly-educated friends with higher skills of manipulating big money relying on modern technology.
If Mr. Al Gore had won the 2000 Presidential Election, Wall Street must have more actively applied modern technology and systems to their (false) wealth creation which must have turned out to be more disastrous by 2008. As the Clinton Administration took such incentive measures for the American IT sector, the assumed Gore Administration must have driven the boom on Wall Street in the same manner.
However, President Mr. George W. Bush for himself did not especially encourage such exhaustive application of modern technology to Wall Street business, though he did not discourage any such movement.
We may be allowed to think that as Mr. George W. Bush did not do anything proactively to carry forward all-out application of modern hi-tech technology to the American financial sector, the subprime loan-triggered U.S. financial crisis was confined within a range of damages of one or two trillion dollars so far.
I mean that with other President of the Mr. Gore type the additional financial disasters might have been brought about in other fields than housing loan business by 2008. Hi-tech financial systems the Gore-type elite love must have applied to every aspect of economic life of American citizens, including middle-class citizens who do not need to apply for subprime loan schemes.
Omission or nonfeasance of President Mr. George W. Bush in terms of promotion of hi-tech systems on Wall Street when nothing looked wrong there ironically looks like having contributed to somehow containing the financial crisis and preventing occurrence of another Great Depression.
SECTION II: Review of the 2008 Presidential Election
As the Japanese media are reporting the outcome of the election in prime time or on their front page, some Japanese critics and pundits are really excited by the Obama boom coming true. But others have pointed at the margin of mere 6% between the winner Mr. Obama and the loser Mr. McCain as a sign for deeply rooted conservatism in the U.S. society.

A Historic Presidential Election (Sen. Amy Klobuchar)
November 5th, 2008
The 2008 presidential election was historic in so many ways. Just consider the record-breaking numbers:
Some 135 million votes were cast for president, the most ever in American history.
Sixty-four percent of eligible voters participated, the highest national turnout since 1908.
In Minnesota, voter turnout was close to 80 percent, probably the highest in the nation.
But there’s something special about this election that goes well beyond, and much deeper, than what numbers alone can convey. The energy and idealism generated by Barack Obama’s candidacy, across every region and nearly every demographic group, is something we simply have not seen for many years.

But, the fact the "Whites" who voted for Mr. Barack Obama accounted for 43% tells everything. Indeed, it must be 6% of poor European Americans who opted for the Democratic Party to protect their lives and secure their survival in the ever heartless American material society that has decided the outcome.
(Click to enlarge.)Of course, Hispanics must have followed suit as they have seen that scale of debacle of Wall Street.
************************************************************
That is all for today.
In their news reporting from America, many Japanese TV stations showed Mr. Jesse Jackson with tears.
Some female announcers and news casters even tried to look "black."
But, strangely much mentioning neither Martin Luther King Jr. nor JFK in the Japanese media, though they wisely cited an example of the Carter Administration.
So, I have to say that the God Lord seems to have forgiven King Solomon, since even Jesus Christ positively referred to the son of David in addition to the Queen of Sheba.

Luk 11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
Luk 11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
Luk 11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
Luk 11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
Luk 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
