Indonesian president says he understands Obama's decision. Obama postpones trip to Asia scheduled for later this month. Press secretary says Obama apologized to leaders of Indonesia and Australia. The trip has already been canceled twice. The delay comes as his administration is facing one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history, with up to 798,000 gallons of oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico daily from a ruptured undersea well. "This is imperiling an entire way of life, and an entire region for potentially years," Obama said on CNN's "Larry King Live" Thursday.
I think that Obama made the right decision to delay his trip. Although it was his third time delaying it, I think he needs to because of the oil spill. He needs to be around to assess damages and stuff like that. I also enjoy Indonesia's presidents' name. It is President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Awesome.
