President Obama will depart Monday on his final foreign trip of his presidency — and the main topic of the three-country tour is expected to be President-elect Donald Trump.

“We certainly expect that the election will be the primary topic on people’s minds everywhere we go,” deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The president will travel to Athens on Monday, then to Berlin on Wednesday and finally Lima, Peru, on Friday. He’s expected to return to Washington, DC, on Sunday.

In addition to meeting Greek and German leaders, Obama will meet with President Francois Hollande of France, President Mariano Rajoy of Spain, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy and Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom.

Germany, an important ally. Greece and Peru?! The only other countries that would have him?

Whatever he says or does will not be important. His views are not respected anywhere and his theories are the exact opposite of what the next president will represent in just two months.

this visit has become a kind of group therapy by which European leaders will try to reassure themselves that the America we know won’t disappear,” Josef Joffe, a Stanford University scholar, told the Journal.

In case they haven't noticed, the America we and they knew disappeared in 2008. The Bizarro World America took its place.

It’s supposed to be some kind of pan-Pacific trade meeting, but I think it’s really to stock up on a little Reggie Love powder.

Peru?

Maybe he’s going to highlight the recent mass die-off of scrotum frogs there.

He’s probably taking a satchel full of US $$$$ to both!

There won’t be time to check up on his ‘activities’ before he’s booted out of DC.

He will be up to a LOT of monkeyshines between NOW and THEN.

Why ELSE would he take trips now that he could have taken at any time, previously

The President will then travel to Peru from November 18-20 to attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Summit, underscoring the United States’ support for the Asia Pacific’s regional institutions and efforts at regional economic integration through trade and investment liberalization. The President will meet with the Leaders of the other Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) member countries, as he has done every year on the margins of APEC since 2011. The President will focus on his continued efforts to make the case to Congress and the American people for approval of TPP without further delay. He will emphasize our continued support for the agreement’s high, enforceable standards that will benefit American workers and businesses while furthering our national security imperatives in the Asia Pacific. President Obama will also hold a bilateral meeting with President Kuczynski to affirm and review progress on our bilateral agenda of supporting private sector-led growth through inclusive and environmentally sustainable economic policies, advancing democracy and human rights, and enhancing our people-to-people ties.

Well that's worthless. Must want to see the Inca ruins.

Read American Thinker today. Obama’s trip to Greece is going to coincide with the annual anarchist anti-American riots.

Once again proving Trump is already more of a president than Obama ever was. Trump said he won’t be vacationing because there is so much work to do and now Barry goes on a 3 country “Trump is not my president” tour. Talk about wasting our money. Heck if Trump does travel, I bet he still uses his own plane instead of Airforce one, saving Americans more tax dollars.
