Obama's goes South

Literally, Obama will continue with his plans to head to South America despite concerns that dealing two international crises ( Libya and Japan) might be too much even without adding to it by a trip to the south. Of course Obama and his administration responded saying they would continue as planned claiming Obama could handle these events just fine.
Whatever the case may be, the interesting point here, as I see it, these complaints are all about how Obama is doing his job. While it is true visiting South America in addition to dealing with the events in Libya, and Japan, can be a lot for any one person to handle, Obama has entire departments to help him deal with these issues and these concerns seem to be just slightly idiotic.

  1. Regardless of whether he can handle all of those crises, the public may think otherwise. And after all, at this point it's important to maintain a good image (especially with the next presidential election coming up). So, while it probably isn't such a big deal that he's still going there, he might lose some respect among the public (and perhaps the international community).
