Japanese Town of Obama Has New Hero (silly story about Japanese support for Obama and Clinton)

[ZombieHorde]

The residents of Obama City in Fukui Prefecture in central Japan cannot contain their excitement about the prospect of having someone named "Obama" being the U.S. president. And the employees of a farming and construction machinery maker in southern Japan are cheering for the candidate whose first name is the same as one of the transportation machines they build and sell: the "Hillary."

In the coastal city of Obama, about 300 miles northwest of Tokyo, some residents formed a support group called "Group that Supports Barack Obama Voluntarily" in early February. Of course, none of the group's original 18 members in this city, with a population of a little more than 32,000, are qualified to cast a vote in the election.

"He is a good public speaker. I love his voice, too. I am sure he will bring a breath of fresh air to the American political system," said Fujihara. "Two elderly farmers called me after Super Tuesday and said they wanted to join the group. I think our support base will keep growing."

Although she is not getting the support of an entire city, Hillary Clinton is also gaining popularity among certain people in Japan — specifically 180 employees of Chikusui Cany Com in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, 560 miles south of Tokyo. Chikusui Cany Corn builds a transportation machine named after the presidential candidate.

"Mrs. Clinton is just like our Hillary — the machine is small but it can carry any material that weighs up to 660 pounds. Compact and durable — isn't Hillary Clinton like that?" said Hara.
