President Bush returned home
from Japan Friday, boasting of
"dramatic progress" that will produce
American jobs and improve
the ailing economy. He conceded
that "nobody's. . . totally satisfied,"
but promised measurable results
from his trade mission.
"I think that we might have
achieved more," Bush said after
stepping off Air Force One following
a 12-hour flight from Tokyo
that ended a grueling mission to
Asia and Australia.
However, others were not as optimistic
about the results of the
trip.
"It was a very mixed trip," said
USC government professor Earl
Black. "In the short run, Bush allowed
himself to be upstaged by
many of the auto executives. I see
it as a substantial negative for
Bush politically."
In Detroit, an irate Chrysler
Corp. Chairman Lee Iacocca, who
was on the trip, declared, "Without
persistent outside pressure the Japanese
will not move at all. And
why the hell should they? They're
winning. In fact, they're beating
our brains in."
Owen Bieber, president of the
United Auto Workers union, said,
"It is clear that all the trip
achieved was promises, promises,
promises."
'The whole trip wasn't thought
through," Black said. "It was also
a bad idea for the auto executives

to go with him. That was a reflection
of the bad advice of his
aides."
Black said the original intention
of the Asian trip, planned in the
fall, was diplomatic. But after Republican
Richard Thornburgh lost
in the Pennsylvania Senate race
because of the flagging economy,
the White House decided to make
the trip's emphasis on economics
and trade.
"I don't know if it was a good
time to do it, but he had to do
something," said Eric Dell, Student
Senator and member of the College
Republicans.
"It was done to help the United
States, not for political reasons,"
he said. He also did not think the
trip was a political liability.
But David Haller, President of
the USC Young Democrats, disagreed
on what Bush's purpose
was.
"It was solely a political trip,"

he said. "Its purpose was to make
Bush look good and make it look
like he was actually doing something
about the economy."
"If the autdmaker executives
said it was not a success, I tend to
think it was not," Haller said.
Dell said the auto executives accompanying
the President was a
good idea.
"They were very useful to the
president," he said. "They have
knowledge of the business world
he might not have."
Since the results of the visit
were mixed, Black said the President's
State of the Union address
will be key to his re-election
campaign.
"A lot will ride on the State of
the Union address," he said. "If he
doesn't come through, his candidacy
will be weakened further."
Bush has voiced his intention of
presenting an "action plan" in the
Jan. 28 address to get the economy
growing faster.
The White House mounted plans
for a public relations blitz to buttress
Bush's rosier view of the trip.
"We're a little concerned," admitted
White House Chief of Staff
Samuel Skinner, who planned to
argue the administration's case on
weekend television shows.
The latest national poll came out
Friday, showing Bush's popularity
continuing to decline. Only 48 percent
of Americans approve of the
president's job.
The Associated Press also contributed
