Obama likely to spend final year jetting around as he focuses on foreign policy
He has two trips to Asia, two more to Europe and another to Latin America on his calendar, and a second to Latin America will most likely be added

WITH Washington increasingly consumed by the November elections, President Barack Obama will spend much of his final year in office travelling the country and the world.
He has two trips to Asia, two more to Europe and another to Latin America on his calendar, and a second to Latin America will most likely be added, according to administration officials. And before the tyres on Air Force One cool from each of those trips, the president will jog up the stairs of the plane for numerous jaunts around the United States to campaign and raise money for Democratic candidates, as well as to host foreign leaders outside Washington.
