PoliSci News Review 
As these incidents occured the president needs to approch the targets more prepared. He needs to have back up plans when one fails. Because things are not always going to come out like one wants them to. So we have to be prepared for the worst and have something to fall on. Because it is not one person he is trying to win for it is for a whole nation. Which are behind him hoping he will deliver.
the president should be more aggressive and try to correct his mistakes that can affect not only Americans but also the people connected to them.
Since obama failed to convince china’s trade market, he should have been prepared with a back up plan. Next time he should take his time and analyze things better.

Ernest Bower said that for Americans failure to be back in the game on trade in Asia means that we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth and that we will be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.

Obama said that sopposably according to him that part of the reason that sometimes it seems that the United States is attracting some dissent is because we’re initiating ideas. We’re putting them forward.
1. What is the potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program?
This was a blow to the U.S. because it missed a good opportunity. “Obama failed to convince the South Koreans to open their market to American beef and cars, which could have amounted to $10 billion in exports and 70,000 American jobs. “…we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth,” said Ernest Bower…we’ll be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China…”
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?
Obama claims that one million jobs have been created in the last year.
president Obama, has alot on his plate when it comes to making our country a better place. we all make mistakes, and we all know that not everything is going to work in our favor. come on is politics. give the man a break, hes trying…
Pretty good article, but President Obama is going to do his best wherever he goes.
1. What is the potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program? The consequence according to Bower is really significant. He discussed the US is not going to have the modern laptop. We are basically going to be behind China in many ways if are unable to keep up with them.
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record? He is saying that it is getting better with new jobs be created. He said that it is not going to happen over night. The economy is going to grow and its going to take time to get there.
Obama should have different kind of ways and not just one plan to convince anyone to try to help our country
YES! Obama should have a back up plan or ways if plan A didn’t work.
The potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program is that it missed a great opportunity we could have $10 billion in exports and 70,000 American jobs because he couldn’t convince the south Koreans to open their market.
President Obama’s defense of his economic record is that he claims that one million jobs have been created in the last year.
1.Ernest Bower said that if we fail to do trade with Asia we will miss out on the next significant growth and that we will be ceding job opportunities that could be here in the US to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.
2. President Obama claims that he has created over one million jobs in the past year and it will take time to get completely back on track.
I think everybody makes mistake not necessarily just president obama. We all need to have patience and faith and hope that everything works out well.
The US image and influence in the rest of the world fell long before Barak Obama became President. However, he will shoulder the blame because he’s the one in office. Oh, well, he wanted to be president…
Spoiled Americans. What do we expect? For Obama to pull a miracle out of his..We all need to take action for our Country, without the help of other countries. Help yourself in order to help others is what my mother always says..
The president needs to be more prepared and need to really offer something that the other country need’s from us. He needs to have back up plans on what ever he says because they know that were have economy problems and Because things are not always going to come out how we plan them in our worst times. So we need to be prepared for the worst and keep trying to get atleast one door open to our plans to raiise the economy. Because it is not one person he is trying to give a message to is a group of them.
obama has no experience and is a fool
Obama has a lot of pressure to do everything he promised. But as a president, it is hard to do so. Every president makes mistakes. He can not always be perfect. People in the United States need to understand that.
Obama is just trying his best to fix all the problems president bush left behind. So now that Obama is trying people are looking at him like he has not done anything yet. Its going to take a while in order for
him to clean up all the mess Bush left behind. Its going to take a while before it gets better.
For the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program, the potential consequence is loosing growth in economics and creating jobs for americans. The economic had a good chance to grow and get better but Obama missed out.
President Obama’s defense of his economic record is that the economic is getting better slowly and it will need patient for people to wait. The governmet is trying best to make economic better.
America will miss the next significant lap of growth and will be losing jobs and opportunities to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia are consequences that result from the president’s failure to win trade consessions in Asia.
President Obama’s defends his economic record by stating that his administration has created over a million jobs to the economy. Most people don’t see that but, as the president said “I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
Obama tried to convince the other leaders at the G-20, but it was a disappointment. Well at least he tried. We should applaud him for that. His policies seemed accurate and beneficial to America, but it wasn’t good enough for the other G-20 leaders.
We missed out on a great opportunity because Obama was unable to convince north Korea to work with us.“…we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth,” said Ernest Bower because of this according to Bower “we’ll be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China…” Obama claims in his defense that he already created millions of jobs but it will just take some time to work.
Let’s not beat Obama up. It is just normal to get turned down. He has to be more prepared next time and have a back-up plan in case things don’t turn out the way they are expected to. He has to remember that the US doesn’t have as much influence on other countries as it did before.
To bad obama failed to win trade concessions with asia. That would have been great for our economy had convinced them.
President Obama needs to be more firm with Asia. Everybody seems to think we are at the mercy of China, but China would be in big trouble without us as well.
I appreciate what seems to be President Obama’s humble coming to terms with the grim reality of America’s changing status in the global economy. I get the impression that while these diplomatic efforts are important, America’s best reaction to the changing economic climate is to stimulate change and a continued heritage of innovation from within. I know, that’s very vague. It’s coming from someone who knows very little about these matters.
Bower said that for Americans failure to be back in the trade in asia means that we willll miss out on the next part of growth and that we will be outsorcing jobs and opportunities that could be in the u.s. tp asia
Obama said that according to him that part of the reason that sometimes it seems that the u.s. is attracting some dissent is because we are staring newideas
1. According to Ernest Bower, “For Americans, failure to be back in the game on trade in Asia means that we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth. We’ll be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.”
2. Obama defended his economic record, “We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable…I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
Some countries of Asia has being rapidly growing in economic. Ex. China and India. Obama visit to Asia is mainly focused on Economic so he should spend more time to Analise the Asian Markets.

2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?
Obama argues that these failures are not a sign of political weakness, and he defended his economic record when asked if he could promise the American people that they would see noticeable job growth before he runs for re-election.
“We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable,” Obama said. “I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth which will cost Americans jobs
Obama has created one million jobs and he says it will take time to get everything back on track.
1. Many jobs will have to be outsourced to Asia and India and we will mis out on future grouth.
Obamas Defence is that he has created over 1 million jobs.
I believe that in the past Asia has probably had some sort of bad experience with US regarding trade. Or maybe in the past couple of years some issues arose between the U.S. and Asia. I dont think that Asia rejected Obamas ideas just cause….
I feel that Asia probably doesnt feel confident about the U.S. economy at this point. I really can’t blame Obama 100% for them not agreeing to his offer. I feel their distrust from us has to do with several mistakes that were probably made in the past couple of years.
“We’ll be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.”
“We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable,”
1.)Obama failed to convince the G20 to see things his way because he didn’t have any levarage to influence nobody.
2.)President Obama suggest his strategy will bring jobs and be beneficial. Plus said the Chines goverment invest money to keep the market down and benefiting chinas structure.
making the country get out of its deficit its in will take many tries and some will work and some wont. things like this will not happen over night and people have to be patient with Mr. Obama.
1. He says that will miss out the next significant lap of growth and we could be ceding jobs to china as other eastern countries instead of over here.
2. That he had created a millions jobs last year and that those million people that get paychecks will notice that.
I feel like he is really trying and putting in a tremendous amount of effort. I wish that would be good enough for everyone to see that building more jobs and the economy is important and a priority to him. I wish our nation would support him more.
The potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, is that it missed a great opportunity we could have $10 billion in exports and 70,000 American jobs because he couldn’t convince the south Koreans to open their market.
President Obama’s defense of his economic record is that he claims that one million jobs have been created in the last year.
According to Ernest Bower Americans failure to be back in the game on trade in Asia means that we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth and that we will be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be in the United States and sending them to places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.
Obama said that part of the reason that sometimes the United States is attracting some dissent because we’re initiating ideas.
1. What is the potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program?
Bower is saying that we are finding it difficult to keep up with China.
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?
He has created one million jobs in a year.
1. What is the potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program?
-it will give them all an advantaage over the U.S.
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?
-the chinese currancy is devalued compared to ours.
1.Bower said that for Americans failure to be back in the trade in asia means that we willll miss out on the next part of growth and that we will be outsorcing jobs and opportunities that could be in the u.s. tp asia
2.President Obama suggest his strategy will bring jobs and be beneficial. Plus said the Chinesse goverment invest money to keep the market down and benefiting chinas structure.
The president needs to be more prepared and need to really offer something that the other country need’s from us. He needs to have back up plans on what ever he says because they know that were have economy problems and Because things are not always going to come out how we plan them in our worst times.
i think that the way that Obama came across was probably in a good way but wasn’t convincing but overall maybe he could have a second chance to convince the Asia president.
i think that our president should always have a second plan just incase it doesn’t work out the first time
A “plan b” would’ve been helpful when it comes to doing something that will affect everyone, but I do appreciate what Obama did even if it wasn’t as successful as they hoped it would be.
nothing can come out as planned. everyone knows that. just have to keep trying.
Even though his plan didn’t work he should have a back up plan but then again nobody is perfect.
ohhh bohoo Obama tries so hard!
1. According to Ernest Bower, “For Americans, failure to be back in the game on trade in Asia means that we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth. We’ll be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.”
2. Obama defended his economic record, “We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable…I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
By President Obama failing to convince SOuth Korea to open their markets to the U.S. he has put at stake 10 billion dollars in exports and 70,000 jobs. The President also failed to push the Chinese President to change their currency policies. And also failed to convince G20 to use stronger language on China currency manipulation. With this in mind I don’t see our 227 billion dollar deficit with China going down any time soon.
It say’s Obama tried his “best” to be convincing, well according to who? He needs to be more convincing and actually have something that will get asias attention.
1) What is the potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program?
Obama has failed to convince the South Koreans to open their market to American beef and cars, which could have amounted to $10 billion in exports and 70,000 American jobs.. Ernest Bower stated “we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth,”
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?
Obama gas stated We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable…I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
Obama fail to get South Koreans to go along with US trade will hurt our economy but India have agreed with US to buy Boeing planes which saved lots of jobs. Obama did not get any help from China since they are now our competitor in the international trade market. China manipulating their currency to keep it below US currency does not help US interest.
That we will miss out on the next part of growth and that we will be outsorcing jobs and opportunities that could be in the u.s.
Obama has created one million jobs in a year.
The consequence according is really significant. Bower discussed the US is not going to have the modern laptop. basically, we are going to be behind China in many ways.
the president said that the economy might not get better in a short period of time, but time comes that’ll the US will rise up again and more jobs will be available.
Obama is a really good president, i believe he is doing big things for our future. and one little wrong thing doesnt change anything about him. he is still trying and he is doing his best. he should have back up plans.
Obama is doing his best, he can’t be expected to fix things so quickly and easily.
Obama is doing what he can. Citizens just need to be patient
Even though Obama is trying his best and putting in a lot of effort into it I do agree with many that he should have had a plan B going into this; however, one does not know how hard things are to achieve as president until we are in his shoes.
Wuz up homie! haha
HEY! gangsta gnagsta lmao calmate que nos van a sacar los ojos!
blah
Maybe it isn’t his faul that certain countries did not want to trade with the U.S. is partly Bush’s fault since he is the one that ruin the economy not Obama. And yea although he says is not a political weakness, it seems like it is.
i believe obama should have back up plans or alternatives and be more aggressive with his action.
The president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia will effect our economy and we will not have more American jobs now. Obama defended himself by saying that failures are not a sign of political weakness.
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record? Have a plan B.
I think that Obama should not be blamed because it is hard to convince another country to have international trade with the U.S. Things like these take time.
1.“We’ll be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.”
2. Obama defended his economic record, We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable…I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.

2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?“We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable,” Obama said. “I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
I think obama should push a little harder next time because I think he is not aggressive enough
He say’s he has created over 1 million jobs. I question where?
His failure in Asia will effect our economy as well as jobs.
Americans should not question so much Obama because his four year presidency is not over yet so we should wait to see his outcome in this office, however i know is hard to be patient but Obama have to fight with the house and the Senate to make something happen so i think the fault of this economy IS REPUBLICANS AND ALSO DEMOCRATS.
1. What is the potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program?
Failure means that we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth.
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?
That the economy has grown by a million jobs over the last year.
Ernest Bower states that there are possibilities for Obama to not keep up significant growth, if it is like that, it is not good because instead of mking progress, we are degrading. He needs to keep up with his promises.
Economy has grown by giving American more jobs as the last year went by, that’s progress in this economy problem we have.
I believe Obama’s efforts to increase the welth of the economy continues. However,he seems to have a hard time convincing other nations to make trade agreements with the United States.
It seems as if OBama’s ideas to strengthen the economy haven’t changed. However, his ability to convince other nations to make trade agreements with the UNited States have been lacking.
The president needs to take charge and make things right and better. People have suffered so much and it isn’t fair. Whatever happens to the government affects the people. People are still unemployed and there should be more jobs offered to the people in need. Not everyone is fortuante to have it all. Most people have to work hard for what they have.
THe president should be more focused on the decisions he makes for the people rather than the future
-We would miss out on the next lap of significant growth.
-The economy has grown by a million jobs over the last year.
the only way to overcome the deficit and create more jobs in the states is by reorganizing how the money spent. instead of spending so much money in war and bailouts it needs to be directed to help the economy.
I think Obama tried to convince the other leaders at the G-20, but it was a disappointment. Well at least he tried. We should applaud him for that. His policies seemed accurate and beneficial to America, but it wasn’t good enough for the other G-20 leaders.
Obama said that according to him that part of the reason that sometimes it seems that the u.s. is attracting some dissent is because we are staring newideas
he is still trying and he is doing his best. he should have back up plans.
Obama’s administration has been struggling to manage all the issues that we are facing as a nation most president have a hard time to keep up with all their promises they make during election.I think that the administration needs a back up plan to keep their power in office.
The U.S doesnt have the same power that it use to have so its expected that other nations wont want to have trade agreements with us.
Obama is making his case that he has done a significant amount of work in the white house by stating that a million more jobs have been created due to his effort.
Obama has claims that over 1 million jobs have been created. But there are no records or proof to his claim.
I think America is having hard time to win the game on trade in Asia because Asia wants to win the game even harder than America. It looks like economic world war.
when something go wrong why we blame obama. obama is good president but he can’t do everything by himself. he needs support from congress ,too. he has more ideas but congress is not helping him to pass those ideas so is not because of obama. the system is wrong!
Americans will miss out on the next lap of significant growth, and they will be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.
Obama still has confidence in himself even though results aren’t being seen quite enough for the American people. He has already helped the job rate grow higher.
Not winning a trade concession in Asia means that jobs will go over to Asia instead of the US.
Obama says that we seem to be going down in the economy because we are coming up with very good ideas to improve the economy.
Obama should’ve had a back up plan. Instead of expecting the other countries to agree with his ideas. Asian countries have become quite powerful too, so he should’ve thought of solutions for both sides not only americans.
well nobody is perfect. im sure he could have done better, but he’s not superman. even though we all thought he was when he was campaigning for the presidential race.
just leave him alone
Its good that the president is trying to show his effort to show that he is trying new things to bring the Americans up.Though there should be a second plan. Sooner or later we will be up and having a surplus again.
I certainly believe that Bill Clinton, George Bush could have done more in Asia. Why didnt we send them instead? I hope Mr. Obama had a good 10 vacation with our tax dollar.
According to Ernest Bower, failure to be back in the game on trade in Asia means that we’ll miss out on the next lap of significant growth and that we will be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia
President Obama’s defense of his economic record is that 1 million jobs have been created, and that the economy takes lots of time to fix “it’s not going to happen over night.”
1.It can hurt the American economy in the future.
2.Obama’s defense is that we’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year.
When it comes with dealing with such a supplier juggernaut as Asia Obama needs to have more tricks up his sleeve rather then hoping his poplar charm will get him through negotiations.
i wonder if they didint want to trade are cooaperate because they know we are doing so poorly and they want to be the supreme just a thought
The consequences of this could be that America will not be able to jump back in the trade growth and will be left behind in the future. Obama supports his economy record by stating that he created 1 million jobs and that those 1 million people have noticed their paychecks.
Obama tried making the deal with China but couldn’t. This seemed like it would of help the economy alittle, but he and his party should of had something else in mind, in case of something went wrong. As president he should know not all negotiations go as planned.
1. What is the potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program?
He says that we’ll miss out on the next lap of growth and we’ll be ceding out jobs and opportunities that could be here in the US.
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?
Obama argues that his failures are not a sign of political weakness and defended that Americans will see job growth before the end of his election.
Had obama not failed to win trade concessions with asia, it would have been a big boost to our economy.
Obama says that one million jobs have been created in the last year.
They just need to leave Obama alone and let him do what he can. Every President they always have something to say and complain. At least this one is trying and it shows
1. “We’ll be ceding jobs and opportunities that could be here in the United States to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.”
2. “We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable,” Obama said. “I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
The country get out of making it’s deficit will take many tries some will work and some won’t. Obama argues that his failures are not a sign of political weakness and defended that Americans will see job growth before the end of his election hopefully.
1. The consequence according to Bower is really significant. He discussed the US is not going to have the modern laptop. We are basically going to be behind China in many ways if are unable to keep up with them.
2. Obama defended his economic record, “We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable…I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
Obama should have several ideas/plans on how other countries can help.He can Approach them in different ways, where he can get people on his side.
Obama has to many promises that he can’t deliver. hopefully he will be more aggressive when he talks to other countries about creating more jobs
1. Ernest Bower said that if we fail to do trade with Asia we will miss out on the next significant growth and that we will be ceding job opportunities that could be here in the US to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.
2. Obama’s defense is that we’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year.
Well, I can understand that the world can see that Obama’s fiscal polices are beyond belief. It’s not just him, but the problem is much worse. The problem is that what we are doing is worse than what we were doing! GOOGLE “Quantitative Easing Explained and How We Got Here” Watch the little video. It extually explains it very well
20 billion a year goes to farm subsidies, why? We have a free market. Most of the subsidies go to the big companies.
1. What is the potential consequence for the U.S. economy of the president’s failure to win trade concessions in Asia, according to Ernest Bower, a senior adviser and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Southeast Asia Program?
According to Ernest Bower, if we fail to do trade with Asia we will miss out on the next significant growth and that we will be ceding job opportunities that could be here in the US to other places like China, India, and Southeast Asia.
2. What is President Obama’s defense of his economic record?
“We’ve grown the economy by a million jobs over the last year, so that’s pretty noticeable…I think those million people who’ve been hired noticed those paychecks.”
Of course Obama should have a plan B incase plan A doesn’t work
