rawstory.com — US President Barack Obama, back from a tour of Asia, called Saturday for the United States to produce more goods to sell across the Pacific, touting trade as a way to revive the troubled US economy.

Facing rising unemployment and slipping poll numbers, Obama assured the public that creating new jobs back home was his top priority on the week-long tour that took him to Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea.

"I traveled to Asia to open a new era of American engagement," Obama said in his weekly radio address, recorded while he was in Seoul.

"Above all, I spoke with leaders in every nation I visited about what we can do to sustain this economic recovery and bring back jobs and prosperity for our people - a task I will continue to focus on relentlessly in the weeks and months ahead," he said.

Does "high" mean drunk or something like that? Does it mean that he's saying something not quite sincere and honest? At least he's trying.

Trying to keep fooling people into thinking he is a leader?
Trying to hide the fact that this is the worst goverment we have ever had?
Trying to keep us from seeing all his lies?

Obama is probably high,but he is also a lier. He has no leadership abilities , and depends on the advice of his marxist czars and union thugs. We might as well have a puppet in office.

So, if he's high you must truly be stoned on a whole-other-level with your dumb comment. Who you you suggest we trade with than: The EU, their in debt too and plus there population is growing increasingly old, who will make our mess when we need it if everyone there is retired. Oh no, I guess we'll go to the Mid-East, guess again. No, we'll go to Africa for trade, oh wait, guess again. Asia is truly the only game in town right now unless we shift to SA and Africa who will do the same to our job market as India did. TAKE AWAY JOBS!

So, James, Bush II and Carter terms were better than Obama's 10 months after Bush left office? YOU A DAMN FOOL! I'll pray that you'll get a brain and some thoughts because you're just a talking head!

AUPolls, you voted for this mess, I did not. You will not agree that obama lied and you were taken in. Unlike the obamanation, I do not look outside for a goverment model. Yes, obama is the worst president we have had since WWII. He is one of the worst of all time.
Jimmy Carter was honest and loved America that was his best points.
obama is not honest and hates America, he has no good points.

James, please. Tell me what the President lied about exactly. Oh, and also please get out of this country if you feel its going to s-- because it shows where you patriotism lies, with those who wish for the fall of America. And you must be crazy to say Carter was good when he just let recessions happen and you didn't even say s+++ about Bush because you know you're full of it. You know nothing of which you're talking about and it is truly sad.

It's part of reality and pragmatism as to where we are at this point. Reversing 30 years of policy can't be done.
