Change and Kanji

While the new President Obama was taking the presidential oath and calling on Americans across the US to renew their responsibility as citizens, the Japan Prime Minster Aso was taking a test of "Kanji" by the deputy leader of the DPJ, the largest opposition party.

As Bushism, the Prime Minster Aso often makes linguistic errors on pronunciation of Kanji in his public speech. The deputy leader of the opposition party tried to trip him up, during the Budget Committee.

This news disappointed many people, including me. Japan's economy also calls for action, bold and swift. But they won't act -- not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. All this they can't do. And all this they won't do.
Yes, they can't.
