Hand-gripping diplomacy as Obama visits Cambodia

From left, Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, President Barack Obama, Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen and Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah join hands for a group photo at the 4th ASEAN-US meeting in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on Nov. 19. Obama's Southeast Asian trip, less than two weeks after his re-election, is aimed at showing how serious he is about shifting the U.S. strategic focus eastwards as America winds down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Wolf, you really are domb if you think the only way to improve the US economy is for the President to stay at the White House 24/7. What he is doing in Asia, helps the American economy. Besides you may not know these but Air force one is like the Oval Office. He can work anywhere.

      Wolf! The President needs to be able to do more than one task at a time. Wolf! Your just ignorant, Mentally Ill, Cognitively Disabled, and a coward. Think!
