Wife of Japanese PM questions whether he’s fit to govern

Politicians expect to be criticised in public by members of the opposition, vcialis 40mg but not usually by their wives. 

But the wife of the Japanese prime minister – Naoto Kan – has just published a book entitled "What On Earth Will Change in Japan After You Become Prime Minister?, cure in which she writes bluntly about her husband's shortcoming and his ability to govern.

She writes that he is a good off the cuff speaker and is suited to working in supporting political roles. But as the world's second-largest economy's prime minister, she questions, "Is it okay that this man is prime minister? Because I know him well."

Nobuko Kan says that her husband has trouble reading prepared scripts. Of his policy speech as prime minister, she writes that she couldn't give him a passing grade for his delivery.

The marriage between the Kans spans four decades, and is widely regarded by the public as a pairing of equal minds. The prime minister speaks publicly about how his wife is his toughest critic.

Sounds like she has lots of material to work on!
