Prime minister Mori was given some basic English conversation training before he visits Washington and meet president Barack Obama .
The Instructor told prime minister Mori , when you shake hand with president Obama , please say : " How are you ?"
Then Mr Obama should say : " I am fine , and you ?"
Now you should say : " Me too "
Afterwards we , your translator , will do the rest of the work for you .
It looks quite simple , but the truth is , when Mori met Obama ,
He mistakenly said : "Who are you ?"
Mr Obama was a bit shocked but still managed to react with humor : " Well , I am Michelle's husband ; ha ha ha ha
"
Then Mori replied : " Me too ,
he he he
"
Then there was a long silence
in the presidential meeting room
