| Obama to visit Pakistan in 2011 |
| 2010-10-21 |
| President Obama will visit Pakistan next year as his administration attempts to shore up its relationship with a key ally in which recent polls found both he and the U.S. share abysmal approval ratings. Mr. Obama dropped in on a meeting between top U.S. and Pakistani officials at the Roosevelt Room in the White House on Wednesday and sought to allay Pakistani concerns about his trip to India next month. "The president explained that he would not be stopping in Pakistan during his trip to Asia next month, and committed to visiting Pakistan in 2011, as well as welcoming [Pakistani] President [Asif Ali] Zardari to Washington, the White House said in a statement. Mr. Obama will be visiting Pakistan's arch rival and neighbor India between Nov. 6 and Nov. 9. |

| #4 Oh, for the love of Mike... are they *planning* on getting him killed? It'd be safer for him to take an announced open-air walk through a Baghdad souk! |

| #2 Anyway we can get the Pakis to keep him? It seems that the whole socio/political culture is right up his alley. Corruption, cronyism, dictatorial powers, what's not to love for the Obamanation? |
