Obama Asia trip no slap to Pakistan, China: aides

.WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama's upcoming trip to India and other Asian countries should not be taken as a slap against India's archrival Pakistan or any other country, including China, aides said on Wednesday.

Obama leaves on November 5 on a 10-day trip to India, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan. Obama will start the trip with 3-1/2 days in India, the longest foreign stop of his presidency.

"India is a cornerstone of our broader Asia approach," William Burns, undersecretary of state for political affairs, told a news conference on the India portion of the trip.

Some commentators have portrayed the tour as a White House effort to counterbalance China's influence in Asia, which has worried Indian officials. But Obama's aides said the administration's strategy is to develop both relationships.

Obama offends no one and he offends everyone. You can’t bow to one party without showing your backside to another.

It isn't non-muzzie; it has a large Muslim minority, which is the source of endless problems. That's why Pakistan and Bangladesh were partitioned off in the '40s. Maybe the cornerstone of Obama's approach is to help the Indian Muslim minority gain the upper hand?

Why is the doofus in chief leaving for 10 days right after the election?
Why is he finally going to Indonesia after putting them off multiple times?
What the hell is up with India? Toward the end of klintoon’s reign, he and an horde of fellow blood suckers spend 2 weeks in India. Something like 50 US aircraft went to India for his “vacation”.
