Asean meeting, November 2012.

One wonders at the reasoning behind Obama's presence?

You should have gone to Specsavers.

I'm disappointed that they didn't cross link hands.

Blue ties are in.

Huh?....They are the leaders of se asia and the us.

What do you mean odd 1 out?...

Any of these topics started regarding politics are usually crap and should be closed by a mod.

Sorry just thinkn out loud.

You're probably right

If being having a pacific coastline make USA eligible, where's Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile -- to name but a few from that side?. Even Russia - or whatever republic it is - has a bit of pacific coast....

How does having a Pacific coastline or not have any bearing on participants in the A.S.E.A.N. - U.S. Leaders' Meeting?

...and since when did Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Russia form part of either ASEAN or the US?

No, the USA isn't an Asean country but it a PACIFIC OCEAN country, like a number of other countries outside of Asia.

It is obvious why Asean and the USA need to talk and cooperate. Close economic ties and importance and some close military/strategic ties.

Didn't anyone actually read the big sign above the leaders - it says "ASEAN - U.S. Leaders' Meeting". Last time I looked, Obama was President of the US...

What's your point?

Point is they are all leaders of the sign above them.

Sorry thinkn out loud again.

I don't know, looks like a typical criminal line up to me, albeit one with protection. Maybe I'm wrong, where is the honest one that won't retire filthy rich or shortly after?

Odd one out?

Is it Ms.Shinawatra? She's the only one who's a puppet representing a corrupt and convicted criminal. All the others are just puppets representing corrupt people who haven't been convicted?

Oh god, here we go again. The PM has the right to consult with anyone she wishes. This ongoing 'puppet' bile is just a straw-man argument. Everyone knew Thaksin was her brother and they voted for her ANYWAY. The idea that she is a puppet is soooo sophomoric.... Get over it, your guy lost....move on.

Sense of humour failure today?

Is Yingluck Obama's Mia Noi now?

As the only female in the group she should be grateful Silvio Berlusconi wasn't there:)

(Cue the 'Benny Hill' overture...)

Let me guess..... only one of them doesn't know what a caddy does.

With pacific beach front bungalow, where is my invite, i'd like to shoot some hoops with the Obama’s
