Prime Minister Abe Says “What Bad Luck!” When He Stops Playing Golf Due To Mudslide Disaster in Hiroshima
Prime Minister Abe has been criticized for his response to the disaster in Hiroshima. President Obama seems to be criticized for doing a similar thing on the same day. Criticism of former Vice President Dick Cheney and Hillary Clinton against Obama, although both of them do not seem to qualify to do so, will probably, I feel, prompt the Obama administration to launch a military intervention in Syria and Iraq.
By the way, Prime Minister Abe has been
criticized as “human scum” for committing a blunder. This is very bitter criticism. I cannot use such harsh word. All I can say is that he is “crunchy bits of
deep-fried *tempura.”
(Note)* Tempura carries a connotation of “fake.”

[Human
Scum] Prime Minister Abe Says “What Bad Luck!” When He Stops Playing Golf Due
To Mudslide Disaster in Hiroshima

There
is no room for sympathy, though I want to sympathize with him.

(ANN News - Four People Killed in Mudslide Due to Heavy Rain in Senboku City, Akita Prefecture)
“Typhoon, heavy snow? I’ don’t
care.”
Fool in Golf Course
Naoto Amaki, diplomatic analyst
Golf lovers can understand how much
chagrined they feel when they are forced to stop playing golf at the last
minute due to an unexpected accident.
Therefore, Prime Minister was not able to
put the play out of his mind, either.
The column on movements
of Prime Minister on August 20 reads as follows:
At 7:26, “Fuji Sakura
Country Club” at Fuji Kawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture. Golf with former Prime Minister Mori, Minister of Economy, Trade
and Industry Mogi, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Nobuo Kishi and others
At that time, he must have got the initial
report of the accident in Hiroshima. If
not so, it’s a big problem.
However, he couldn’t make a snap decision
and left for the golf course. He seemed
to wait and see how things go while playing golf.
While playing, he finally
stopped the game, grumbling “what bad luck!” because he thought that he would
be criticized if continuing it.
It would be no problem if
he had admitted honestly that he failed to take proper initial response to the
disaster. He showed off his authority,
saying “I have directed the whole government to address rescue and relief.
The media under the government’s thumb
released it as it was told.
If this were the Murayama administration or
Democratic Party administration, it would have strongly criticized him as if
they had achieved a great feat. What a
mess!
That’s why I get angry.
I can’t sympathize with him, though I want
to do.
A liar cannot assume a position as prime
minister.
It is natural that Prime
Minister Abe is criticized for his response.

That is what we would expect from human
scum Shinzo Abe. This exactly shows his
human nature. He doesn’t care for life
of the people. Golf has priority over disaster. No excuse holds water
because he returned to the resort villa even after getting a full picture of
the disaster.

Emperor discontinued rest – Hurriedly returned to official residence –
Haphazardly decided to visit afflicted areas
