would be the defensive posture again for japan and they want of course the u.s. support on that. if i can bring you in here, it s going to be difficult for the president to get the cross he is in asia right now really dealing with business at home. why and how he s expecting some of the new economic alliances if you will to try and take some of the shocks out of the supply chain. i would assume that right now that would be a bit of a hard sell. yeah, i think what the president wants to do is focus on a lot of domestic issues while he s here in asia. you saw him do that when he was in south korea. he stopped at both sam sung plant and spoke with the chief executive of honda. both companies built factories in the united states and that is something the president has been focussed on as manufacturing jobs. labor jobs, trying to boost the american worker. and so it s interesting to see him do that on the stop in asia.
