(TOKYO) — Prime Minister Naoto Kan announced Friday he was resigning after almost 15 months in office amid plunging approval ratings over his government's handling of the tsunami disaster and nuclear crisis.
In a nationally televised speech, Kan said he was stepping down as chief of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan, effectively ending his tenure as leader of the country. The decision was widely expected because in June, Kan had promised to quit once lawmakers passed three key pieces of legislation. The final two bills cleared the parliament earlier Friday.
I wonder why another democrat president won't step down. He spent, spent and then spent some more. What he fails to realize is that he is a product of this country's social programs. He has never EARNED a dollar from real work. Lets just get the government to buy us more stuff, after all they have all the money.
