High and low during Asian trip. by Milota Sidorova

Asian tour of the U.S. President Barack Obama is over. Obama who returned to Washinghton on Sunday has been the topic of the day for any American media. All of them were summarizing his achievments during past ten days. The feelings, however were mixed. Obama started high in India and Indonesia, sealing $10 billion deals with Indian companies and cheered emerging economies that were supposed to balance Chinese increasing economic power. Until Seoul all went good for the U.S. But on the meeting of G20 held in South Korean Capital Obama failed to talk „hot“ issues. Instead of expected harsh action against Chinese currency speculation, he spoke about recent Federa! l Reserve's interference into the U.S. economy. The media reaction was low – Obama got an image of coming home with empty hands. He was supposed to make free trade deal with South Korea, but even this goal wasn't fulfilled. Though both sides are open to cooperate and sign the deal in the future, the fact that the deal wasn't signed past days didn't improve morals and image of the U.S. So if speaking frankly, Obama didn't reach everything that was expected, but still got something – an image tolerant and kind visitor of emerging Asian countries. The trip was finished in Japan where he visited enormous bronze statue of Buddha in Kamakura. Obama is returning into difficult politicial situation back home. After mixed Congressional elections Republicans got the majority in the House and were eager to challenge him during next possible occasion.
