[00:02.44]to Indonesia and Australia,
[00:03.93]so he can stay in Washington
[00:05.49]to try to get his health care reforms pass by congress.
[00:08.35]Mr. Obama had already delayed
[00:10.28]the long arranged trip once
[00:11.90]and was due to set off on Sunday.

[00:27.76]is dragged on for over a year
[00:29.94]and divided the country.

[00:44.43]or who simply fear a back lash in November's elections,
[00:47.60]if they vote for a measures their constitution dislike.
