Obama: I'm "America's First Pacific President"
TOKYO - Trying to reassure allies and rivals, President Barack Obama billed himself Saturday as "America's first Pacific president," promising the nations of Asia "a new era of engagement with the world based on mutual interests and mutual respect."
Turning tough, Obama also said that the U.S. "will not be cowed by threats" from North Korea, which he said for decades "has chosen a path of confrontation and provocation, including the pursuit of nuclear weapons."
In a slap at President George W. Bush, Obama spoke of the importance of "multilateral organizations [that] can advance the security and prosperity of this region." Read more here.

Obama elected himself "President of the Pacific"; GOOD, move the White House to Fuji, enjoy the beach, and stay there.

All of you people of color, who voted for this guy because he was "black", just got thrown under the bus.... He doesn't identify with you either. Our Chameleon-in-Chief is a Muslim, wants to publicly BE a Muslim, and is giving us ALL of the clues some of us REFUSE to see... Hang onto your hats people, this guy is a "quick-change" artist with identity issues.....

Whatever he said it was to boost his ego and more than likely a lie. This guy is so untrustworthy he should be working in a carnival.
