'He Learned That People In All Groups Should Be Listened To'

Funny how a guy who learned that people in all groups should be listened to refuses to listen to the American people.

'He was exposed to American black culture, American white culture and Indonesian culture,' said Kay Ikranagara, who worked with Mr Obama's mother in Jakarta and knew the family well. 'He learned that people in all groups should be listened to.'

No schedule has been released of his trip, which was delayed a few days so as not to clash with a crucial moment in the US health care debate. As a result, his wife and children, who were originally going to join him during their spring break, will not be accompanying him.

If only he still knew how to listen he could be enjoying his homecoming already.
