Obama delays yet again his planned state visit to Indonesia. He’ll be coming on June instead, says his spokesman, Robert Gibb:
US President Barack Obama Thursday dramatically postponed his trip to Indonesia and Australia until June, as he wages a vote-by-vote struggle to drive his health reform bill through Congress.
