Obama visits China and will probably visit India during the last month of his second term.
Has anyone observed that US presidents only seems to tour India when they are at the end of their tenure? In other words when they are being put out to pasture.
They then tour India speaking at CEO/Leadership conferences and making a nice little packet. Obviously they can’t go to China now because either they are not understood there or just because they are not wanted.
Case in point George W Bush and Clinton.
…and we want to be a world power 
On a completely unrelated note heres a funny piece from The Onion.

..and today Obama called China the “Guardian of South Asia”… I think our Foreign Service guys just do not know how to lobby in the USA

Guardian! I wish he intended some pun there
November 17, 2009 at 5:44 pm |
Yes, it makes sense. I was like he came all the way to China and did not flyover to India.

Of course if he comes to India he HASSS to go to Pakistan…for some reason we get clubbed with them

Very true. Maybe they are just scared of all the snakes and cows that are present all over India.
