Lame Duck

lame duck
a president, governor etc with no real power because his or her period in office will soon end. (LONGMAN)
a politician or a government whose period of office will soon end and who will not be elected again. (OXFORD)

Of course I mean George W. Bush!

According to the news, U.S. stocks went up by hope for change in the government's policy on Iraq and less military expenditure.

In Japan, there's no visible reaction against the Democrats' victory, but the Abe cabinet will be urged to change their policy, because Abe cabinet follows Koizumi cabinet which had always followed Bush and the Republican Party.

    It is interesting, because Japan may have to change own policy by the result of US election...
    US citizen has power to move Japanese government!

    Than's global society? Or...we're just a dog of USA?

    (Sorry this my coment is so irony...)

    At least I was relieved that there's democracy in America. Japanese people are manipulated by media hype easily, and tend to stop thinking. Democracy hasn't rooted in Japan yet, I think.
