I read an article on the Korea Times homepage entitled, "Obama Has Bad Impression of Korea." It confused me, because it then went on to explain Obama's position on just one issue-the FTA with Korea. Obama has recently commented that he opposes the FTA with Korea because he believes it is a bad deal for American workers. First of all, I remind the Korea Times folks that he's trying to get elected. (American auto workers vote, and not all of them like to see Hyundai outselling Ford in certain parts of the USA.) But, that election year timing aside, the only issue the article focused on was Obama's stance on free trade. How does that one issue constitute an "impression of Korea?"
The Korea Times sometimes run good, insightful articles. That wasn't one of them. When they introduce newer American politicians to a Korean and ex-pat audience, they should not oversimplify.
Just my full of personal bias opinion. :)
OK, back to correcting papers!
