Will Obama visit the Town of Obama?

On a snowy west coast of Japan, 250 miles west of Tokyo, there is a small town that would evoke curiosity among voters for U.S. president - a town of Obama. The Japanese word Obama means "Little Beach". Though, it is just a coincidence, and is nothing to do with the candidate. But Japanese leaders in Obama are obviously honored or even proud of carrying the name of potential U.S. president. To be exact, they are therefore planning to help Barrack Obama win the presidential election, because it would enhance the town's profile far beyond the borders of Japan. "It would boost our city's name recognition, and that can lead to a boost in tourism," said Murakami, the mayor. "We want a little more of an increase in foreign visitors." "We want to ask him to stop by Obama as president if he visits Japan," said Sadakazu Tsubouchi, an official at city hall. Barack Obama yet does not seem to be interested in helping a Japanese town of 32,000 inhabitants rise their tourism, well, he has definitely more important things to sort out concerning his already exhausting presidential campaign. However, Obama's Japanese followers are about to carry on with their support, as they expect the group to be growing. Seiji Fujihara, the group's secretary general, said they would gather to watch the results of the March 4 primary voting,"If Mr. Obama becomes the president, we will form a delegation and try to visit him at the White House. That would be awesome
