To folks in the US – how is your new president doing?
Well in Japan, hes doing quite well as you can see from this photo taken yesterday. Softbank is the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in Japan and it looks like Obama-san has a part time job helping them sell mobile phones. The tag line in the poster is:- "Yes We Kau!" – "Kau" meaning "to buy" in Japanese.
Obama-san also performs magic on Japanese TV as you can see from the video below.
And for you fact fans out there – there is even a town in Japan called Obama were residents celebrated the new presidents victory.
