The impression I get from Rose and Rubin's discussion is that nothing at all was accomplished on Obama's trip to Asia. "Slow grueling diplomacy"? Every POTUS back to Nixon accomplished more, and was more productive in their trips abroad. IMHO, this trip was more of a continuation of Obama's campaign; a few more photo ops and really nothing of substance. The only thing missing was Him saying "I have a plan" about Afghanistan, which at this point should have been his major focus after JOBS.
