Obama makes return visit to sacred Buddha statue

Japan – President Barack Obama made a return visit to the Great Buddha statue in Japan, noting "I was only 6" the last time he visited the sacred site.

Obama's visit to the site of the 44-foot-high bronze statue, nestled among the hills and trees at Kamakura, Japan, was the last stop on his 10-day Asian tour that began in India and included Indonesia and South Korea as well as Japan. (more)

Great way to ingratiate yourself with long-standing members, troll.

Went there with the family today to have a nice outing. We got off in front of the entrance to the Daibutsu only to find out it was closed due to Obama visiting. There were cops everywhere. We were told that all traffic would be closed in a few minutes and if we didn't want to get stuck there we should catch the next bus out.

My shitty luck.

No shit.

The president noted "the first time I was here I was this big," putting his left hand up to his waist. He walked with two hosts closer to the imposing statue, craning his head upward to view the statue of Amida Buddha. It weighs 93 tons and was constructed in 1252. The Great Buddha is seated in the lotus position with hands forming the gesture of meditation.

The writing is so controversial, so dynamic I ... I ... I don't think I can stay awake much longer.

Ah well ... looks like you got an interesting photo out of it.

Mystery No. 1
Why do American presidents always point at someone when they walk to a podium for a news conference?
Mystery No. 2
This might be my aging eyes playing tricks, but I could have sworn the first shot of the Daibutsu in the CNN clip had its eyes mosaiced out, perhaps in homage to the Japanese pron industry (wouldn't be the first time for that company). Anybody else notice that?
Mystery No. 3
Why does anybody watch CNN? Does anybody?

I can't even spell CNN, let alone watch it...
