――首相は先月の日米首脳会談で、オバマ大統領に「トラスト・ミー」と言った。どういう意味で何を信じるということだったのか。米国が納得いく答えを導き出すという意味だったのか。
「『トラスト・ミー』というのは、『私を信頼してください』ということであります。その時に、決して具体的な（移設先の）名前を言っているわけではありません。その前後の文脈をみなさんもおわかりだと思いますけれども、この普天間のことに関して、いま申し上げたように、沖縄県民の皆さんの思いも大事にしなきゃなりませんと。そういう中で、（日米の）ワーキンググループ、チームを作って議論していこうじゃないですかと。選択肢というものをいま検討しているところですから、それを日米で努力をしていく中で解答を見つけていきましょうと。おー、わたくしを信じてくださいという意味で申し上げました」

「俺の目を見ろ、何にもいうな」、「黙って俺について来い（Believe me）」みたいな？

An early Jimmy McHugh hit, also posted here in versions by Roger Wolfe Kahn （1927） and The Ames Brothers （1953）
Roger Wolfe Kahn and his Orchestra – I Can’t Believe That You’re In Love With Me（1927）
Here’s the rarely-heard Take 3 of that early Jimmy McHugh hit…the version that 1927 record buyers took home with them, as opposed to the alternate Take 1 that was reissued by RCA over the years and is commonly posted elsewhere on the web. Points of comparison: the single runs a smidgen faster than the alternate, and the slightly uneven notes in the first trumpet passage don’t match up.

Don Gibson – Oh Lonesome Me（1957/12）
民主党の小沢一郎幹事長は10日午前、中国を訪問するため、民間機で羽田空港を出発した。国会議員約150人とその支援者らを合わせた訪中団約600人が同行しており、同日午後に北京に到着。人民大会堂で胡錦濤国家主席と会談し、民主党と中国共産党の交流の強化を確認する見通しだ。
http://www.nikkei.co.jp/news/seiji/20091210AT3S1000B10122009.html
良し悪しはともかく、アメリカの国際的影響力（経済的・政治的覇権）が低下しつつある現在、日本の立ち位置も変わらざるを得ないのでしょう。
国際金融資本の意向も、なんですかアメリカの次は中国だそうで。
小沢大訪中団の狙いはしかし重層的で、深謀遠慮がありそうです。これまで中国政府の信頼が厚かった政党や組織に取って代わることを、あちらに納得させようとしてるのかもしれません。
批判を許さない人たちと今後どうつき合っていくのか。私は対米のような従属を対中でしてもらいたくない。対米で対等になるなら対中でも対等であってもらいたい。
その点、キーマン小沢はまだ国民に明確なヴィジョンを示してはおりません。
小沢の”独断専行”が、百年の不作となるのか、百年の孤独を招くのか。
まさに今、国家百年の大計が試されているのです（あれば、の話ですが）。
アメリカのCDC（疾病対策センター）は10日、新型インフルエンザによる死者が全米で推定1万人にのぼると発表した。
CDCのフリーデン所長は「残念なことに、死者約1万人のうち、子どもが1,100人、若年層は7,500人にのぼる」と話した。

漁業従事者に対する燃料上昇分の９割補填（２００８年）というのを覚えてますか。あれは原油価格高騰の影響を抑えるためでした。
今年２００９年はというと、物が売れなくなったということで業界への養生が目立ちましたね。
エコポイントが家電業界への、エコカー減税＋補助金が自動車業界への、公的資金を使っての支援ならば、新型インフルエンザワクチン接種の「あおり」はズバリ、ウクチン製造会社、輸入・販売会社、開業医への利益誘導の側面がはなはだ強い。
実際、過去のインフルエンザ・ウイルスと少しでも違うものならそれは常に「新型」であって、今回の「新型インフルエンザ」も次が出現すれば、ただの旧型、月並みとなります。
致死率が特別に高いと報じたマスコミは、しかし頬かむりして、あおった責任は取らないでしょう。
今回の騒動で、却って本当に必要な人へ接種ができなくなっているのは、大いなる皮肉というしかありません。
そして、もうひとつ。
ワクチンが行き渡り多くの人が接種すれば、必ずそのワクチンが効かないウイルスが生まれます。
そうなったらもうそれまでのワクチンは何の意味もない。
インフルエンザウイルスと予防ワクチンの開発は常にそうしたイタチごっこなのだということを、マスコミはきちっと伝えるべきでしょう。
