Obama Asia Trip

     Although American media has made such a big deal of it, Obama himself has not weighed in on it without even a comment. He came for a meeting with the President of the second largest economy in the world on Global Warming and to firm up each nations commitment to its containment via the Paris accords. Their talks were for saving billions of people from it's worst effects. He also went as the representative of the United States at the G20 summit along with the leaders and finance ministers from nineteen of the world's largest economies to discuss finances involving more billions of people and money.

      He definitely did not go there as a ego trip or photo op. Or even really notice a dispute among airport attendants over where the pilot had parked his airplane. He simply used another door and an alternate set of stairs. This is what a real leader does, not as Trump advised leaving in a huff of upset
feelings. Just one more reason Trump is not qualified to lead a Klan group much less lead the most powerful nation on Earth.

     Later though, he bypassed a meeting with the Philippine  president over a personal insult to his person rather than toward the United States. If every president retaliated every insult or criticism of the United States it would consume all his time and energy. After he thought about it president Dutarte realized he had made a terrible mistake, sought out Obama with an apology and his hat in his hand. Being the great person he is Obama accepted the apology and went on to discuss human rights violations by simply executing accused drug offenders without trials or judgements. No conclusions were reached but Dutarte was made aware that both the United States and most free nations were awake withholding judgement until seeing how he proceeds.

     After that meeting Obama will open commercial ties with Laos expanding trade in Southeast Asia. For a president with only four more months in his eight years Obama is working up to the bell not standing at the time clock waiting to punch out.
