Kim Jong Il's Son to Be Next Leader of North Korea, Documents Confirm
Official documents obtained by a Japanese newspaper confirm that Kim Jong Il's third son, Kim Jong Un, will succeed his father as the next leader of North Korea. The three documents reveal that Pyongyang is hastily preparing for a transfer of power, and credit Kim Jong Un with participation in an April satellite launch.

One document, titled "Educational Resources on the Greatness of our Revered General Kim Jong Un," appears to be a briefing on the new leader for high-ranging members of North Korea's defense ministry and secret police. Hailing him as a "vengeful commander," the document triumphantly recounts Kim Jong Un's accomplishments and lays out the importance of succession.
"Anyone who meets him [Kim Jong Un] is fascinated by him," the text says. It further praises him "a military talent who has genius wisdom and policy" and notes that he "resembles our great general [Kim Jong Il] so much in appearance."

That's the kind of nepotism Obama can emulate.
I wonder if Kim Youngin' will slap Obama around like the old (sick) man did.
