This photo is funny! Is that rice in the background?

No that's not Condi. That's Mrs Kan.

Obama "Tee hee. How good is my suit. Wish someone taught me how to do a tie though."
Kan "Ok I'm just about 3 steps behind, time to make a move. And whose idea was it to go tieless..."
Nobuko "Just keep smiling and no one will notice the creases I put in your pants."

Ossan - Har!

Obama: (thinking) "I can't believe that dude married his cousin..."

Kan: Barry, why don't we go out now for some live, raw fish, some juicy salmon eggs wrapped in dried seaweed, finished off with some pickled plums?
Obama: Excuse me, but I'd better make a hasty retreat before I repeat making the same mess when Bush Sr. was here.

gaijinfo- My thoughts exactly! Is this a common occurance in Japan? Might explain some of the oddballs I see everyday..

Kan looked like a boy left behind by his father. WHAH . . . .

Kan looks like a duck or something? This is the worst photo I have seen.

A split second of awkwardness captured on photo. I hate when that happens.
Kan just told Obama that he needs to go back home. Obama has that aww shucks look.

you'd think that in a country of photographers there would be a more dignified picture depicting two heads of state.

sf2k...exactly. I am not sure why JT did this... but we got our usual gags. Looks like that walk path is about a meter across? Kan... you need a better tailor.

Obama looks so refined - love his tie.

So who is Obama bowing to these days, I wonder?

Obama: Let's do the time warp again.

This is funny. Kan's making a face as if he's admiring Obama's backside :-). Nice catch.
