First of all, I wrote the headline without going through the trouble of representing the long “O”, since that is the way it is often done when writing for a native English audience.

Also, the headline does not necessarily mean anything in the video is stupid or foolish. It was a bit of a word play on the English expression “go crazy for” using a Japanese word that is similar to “Obama.”

Anyway, lighten up.

To clarify my misunderstanding, I read it as meaning “Obama fools support Obama.” Perhaps it would have been clearer as “Obama goes baka for Obama?”

I liked it better with “Obama Obaka for Obama”. ( Obaka as big fool.)

The people who are making Obama chop sticks, T-shirts and manju sweet cakes, just want to make money by using the name “Obama”. Otherwise how can they be interested in the election of US presidency, let in cheering Mr. Obama ?

And Obama mayor is a fool, if not a big fool, because he is doing that trivial thing by using tax.

but ghoti the Japanese Public has long discarded the notion of yamu wo enai with America - now it is based on “Mutual Distrust ..(too many promises broken)

.” To forestall the possibility that this situation might ultimately explode in a flash of all-out hostility to the U.S., Ambassador MacArthur soon fell in with Kishi’s insistence that the time had come for American concessions designed to convert the Japanese public from yamu wo enai to a relationship of “mutual trust” with the U.S. ”
