WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s eight-day trip to Asia produced no tangible wins for the United States, though he is citing talks with Asian allies that he says could help create thousands of job and open new markets for American goods in the future.

Citing progress on a trip that took him from Tokyo to Seoul, Obama noted that "Asia is a region where we now buy more goods and do more trade with than any other place in the world — commerce that supports millions of jobs back home."

The boost to the U.S economy is that China (the U'S.'s landlord) told BO to stop spending so recklessly.....

From my undrstanding, Obama did not get any tangible wins. In fact it was quite the opposite, China who we owe a ton of money too, is concern that with his new health plan, we may not be able to pay them back... So imagine, we are a now considered a bad credit risk to China. What an adminstration..

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s eight-day trip to Asia produced no tangible wins for the United States, though he is citing talks with Asian allies that he says could help create thousands of job and open new markets for American goods in the future, this is what I believe as well as my friends in the House and Senate and on the West Side of Chicago.
The President said, \" Errr,,,Let me make myself perfectly clear, if you are in manufacturing or technology you may want to consider purchasing a one way ticket to China as I will be creating over a billion jobs over the next three year,,, in China that is, don\'t get me wrong I am an American but I feel it will be easier to move people to China then to rebuild all this crap here.

Interestingly, China's economy used to be smaller than California's. Since China decided to take the "capitalist road" and become "running dogs of capitalism", their economy has grown by leaps and bounds. It is now 4 times that of California and is second in the world.

In contrast, Obama and his followers are trying to get rid of capitalism here while blaming it for all our troubles. Strange days.
