JCOM 2300: Obama's Asian opportunity

President Obama is currently on a diplomacy trip to Asia. Things back home aren't exactly what he hoped for. If there is anywhere in the world outside the United States that he could positively impact the U.S. it would be Asia. It is the fastest growing economic market in the world and there are obvious diplomacy issues that needed to be handled (North and South Korea). 
If President Obama wants to right the American ship and secure another term as president he needs to excel in two areas. Foreign policy and the economy. If the Asia trip goes well he can take a good whack at both. Making a few pivotal economic deals in the Asia area especially with China can potentially open the way to billions of revenue dollars and can create new jobs. The trick for Obama at least from a PR standpoint is to use his public speaking/ communicating skills to win over the people that matter in Asia. If he pays his cards right in Asia and takes advantage of the opportunities he may be in office for four more years.
