Let me take a wild stab at this:

1. You think the current infatuation with Barack Obama that large swaths of Europe and America suffer from also afflicts the Japanese.

2. You then assume that because everyone loves Barack Obama that this goodwill will extrend to America in general.

3. You finally assume that because of all this warmth directed towards the United States due to this historic event that this will also be transferred to American corporations and they may also experience a halo effect (ooh, how apt!)

Have I just about got it?

To some extent, it does.

I don't know how you get from step 1 to step 3 from that, though.
