Yokio Hatoyama becomes the presumptive prime minister of Japan after leading the opposition Democratic Party to a landslide victory over the Liberal Democratic Party. Hatoyama campaigned on a platform to end American-dominated globalization, to reorient Japan towards Asia and to reconsider American military presence in Japan….stay tuned.

And, because of those eight years of George W. Bush, it is a winning formula to run - anywhere in the world - against America. Wearing a tie and a good suit and talking aggressively about kicking Bush out of the country, wherever that country mioght be… Even though Bush is long gone. And hard to find.
