Obama is still fighting back home for his healthcare initiative, and is hamstrung from acting on climate change in time for the Copenhagen summit, which is to agree on a successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol. So there is a risk that he will come to Asia for just a star turn and photo opportunities while reserving his strength for other battles.
就目前而言，奥巴马依然深陷在美国国内卫生法案的政治斗争当中难以自拔，而且也难以及时地为即将给京都议定书制定后续协议的哥本哈根峰会做点什么。因此奥巴马此次亚洲之行很可能只不过是为了亮个相合个影，因为他还要把自己的精力留到其他的政治斗兽场上使用。但是，人们对他的需要和期望可远远不止于此。
