Japan PM Abe will resign

TOKYO – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced Wednesday he will resign, ending a year-old government that has suffered a string of damaging scandals and a humiliating electoral defeat.

Abe, whose support rating has fallen to 30 percent, cited the ruling party’s defeat in July 29 elections for the upper house of parliament, and said he had instructed party leaders to immediately search for a new premier.

“In the present situation it is difficult to push ahead with effective policies that win the support and trust of the public,” Abe said in a nationally televised news conference. “I have decided that we need a change in this situation.”

I only want to make a brief observation on this topic, based on the rationale of Japan’s Abe, and given that Bush’s recent approval rating had fallen to 27%, if you add in the fact that he has lost both houses of congress and include the opinion held by approximately 70% of this nation regarding his presidency as being far less than stellar and highly ineffectual, can we expect Pres. Bush’s to submit his resignation as well??

Just sayin’…
