Three Days Delay of Obama Visit to Indonesia

President Obama has pushed back his trip to Indonesia for three days trying to wrap up a health care overhaul.

US President Barack Obama has delayed a planned visit to South East Asia by several days to focus on healthcare reform, the White House has said.

Mr Obama had been due to visit Guam, Australia and Indonesia, where he briefly lived as a child.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Mr Obama’s wife and children would also no longer accompany him on the trip.

The president has been pressing the Senate to pass a key vote on the long-running healthcare reform proposals.
