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."

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.

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.

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.

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