Rather than trapsing around the world, President Obama would better serve his country and the world in general if he stayed at home, stuck all his advisers in a think tank and came up with a solution(s) to critical financial problems his country created and basically responsible for.

Maybe someone outside of his own group will educate him on s.e. asian affairs,customs,whatnot.because he has absolutely no clue what goes on in this part of the world.yet he is quick to offer leadership to countries in this region.

There are and will be other parallels between the two leaders.
