World: Troubled Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama resigns
- It was the shirt, wasn’t it? Yukio Hatoyama, Japan’s prime minister, hasn’t had an easy time of it since he became PM last year, and it’s only gotten worse for him after he ditched a campaign pledge to get the U.S. military to move off Okinawa. His party afraid of losing some serious momentum, Hatoyama resigned tonight. Sucks to be him. source
