President Barack Obama arrived in Mumbai, India on the first leg of his three-day visit to India. The President embarked on a nine-day, four-nation tour of Asia. Besides India, the four-nation trip will also take him to Indonesia, South Korea and Japan, as an economic mission. His agenda is heavy on taking steps to open foreign markets to American goods; he hopes to come home from South Korea, for instance, with a renegotiated free trade pact.
