Pointless? It wasn’t a state visit and seemed to have happened for just personal and, more broadly, social/cultural reasons. Is Obama supposed to meet with Blair or Abe when they’re in DC?

Whole thing seemed kind of pointless and unseemly. Maybe this happened because current baseball commissioner and former ambassador to the US Kato was a superfan of Bush. But this was the highest-profile venue he got. Not even a hello from Hatoyama.

After all the fun at Graceland Bush swore an oath to be by Koizumi’s side as often as possible in case he did something wacky again involving jewel-encrusted sunglasses.
