Southeast Asia from the Corner of 18th and K Streets: Obama's Asia Trip: Go or No?
The White House faces a fundamental dilemma today: Can President Barack Obama leave for his geopolitically vital Asia trip, planned to begin this Saturday, if the U.S. government is still shut down?

The May 2022 presidential race is turning out to be a repeat of previous elections – a feud among the country’s dominant political dynasties. The jockeying for power has resulted in the split of the ruling political party, political realignments, and moves by one clique that are apparently meant to mislead rivals. In the end, these dynastic conflicts leave many voters puzzled and others, outraged.
Incumbent Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go, President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s loyal aide for 30 years since the latter’s Davao City mayorship, announced on Nov. 30 his withdrawal as a presidential candidate.
