Obama is going on a 10 day tour of Asia beginning in India today. But it is likely to be overrun with political turmoil. In India they have caught the Obama fever we once had. They have made a Bollywood film starring him, a special fish and chicken dish for him, and they have stripped the coconuts from the trees so they don’t fall on his entourage. But Obama will be unable to leave his political troubles behind. He aims to focus on job creation, the #1 concern of voters. Obama says the trip is mainly economic. Some political analysis complain that he is leaving the country behind, but others say that it’s okay because congress still doesn’t come back for another week. Before leaving Obama looked at the job numbers and then said, “Today, we received encouraging news. We have now seen private sector growth for the 10th consecutive month.” On Tuesday he will fly to Indonesia, then on Wednesday to South Korea, on Thursday a dinner with China’s leader Hu Jintao, On Friday G20 meeting, then fly to Japan for several meetings.
I think this is important because it shows how much the British follow our news, and our presidents. Many of the other stories in the “World” section included the senate race, and other US events. We follow the British much less with an occasional story on their prime minister.
