To prove his leadership skills Barack Obama will skip a visit to the Mayan ruins and return to Washington a few hours earlier. This great sacrifice will show the American people that he is fully engaged on his third war in Libya.
He’s on top of it.

The AP reported:
President Barack Obama is leaving Central America earlier than scheduled, cutting short a tour dominated by the U.S.-led military action in Libya.
The president eliminated a visit to Mayan ruins from his itinerary Wednesday, permitting him to leave a few hours earlier. Aides have taken pains to portray Obama as fully engaged in the deployment of missiles and warplanes in North Africa even as he devoted his public time to bridge-building with Latin American leaders.
But he couldn’t escape the juxtaposition of missions.
The three-country, five-day tour meant to re-establish U.S. leadership in the region.
