The American people have begun to notice that “Obama is cold-hearted and calculating”.

Two years and a half have passed since the inauguration of the Obama Government. With the presidential election at hand next year, we are now entering a phase in which to calmly assess Obama’s attitude toward politics and discuss whether his policies have been right or wrong. We interviewed Mr. Kan Ito, international politics analyst, about how the Obama Government will demonstrate its diplomatic skills under the rapid changes of the situation in the Middle East and East Asia, and whether he will be reelected in the next election. (This interview took place in May 2011)
