Why Isn't Obama Back in the US?


The Daily Mail makes it look as though there is some serious goings on between Obama and Myanmar's President and Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. I think Obama is naturally friendly, and Yingluck Shinawatra is acting in a naturally feminine manner, although I think she's the one coming on to Obama with her slightly lewd glances.

I don't find anywhere on the web that Obama should cut his visit short to Myanmar and make his way back to the US, where an international crisis from the Middle East is looming over his new term. Instead he finds time to travel across continents and "flirt" with female leaders.


The above images are from the Daily Mail, which has a series of them.

More on Myanmar's problems at the Christian Science Monitor, which heads its article into four sections: Myanmar's reforms haven't yet taken root; What’s behind religious conflicts; Religious stereotypes don’t match; Extreme weather may be a factor [KPA note: I'll leave that in. The perennial global warming catastrophe which guides nations' foreign policy decisions!].

Other than the fourth point (what happened to Christian Science Monitor?) the first three seem sane enough reasons for an American president to take caution when dealing with this country. And certainly not one to spend too much of one's official time with when a big crisis is unfolding in the world.
