Obama leaves Japan, heads back to United States

TOKYO, Japan – President Barack Obama has left Japan for the United States, ending a 10-day Asian tour that focused heavily on economics and featured personal remembrances of his life as a child in Indonesia.

Air Force One left at mid-afternoon Sunday, local time, on the long flight back to Washington, where Obama will have a host of domestic issues at hand when Congress returns for its post-election session.

His trip started in India. He went from there to Indonesia and on to Seoul for the G-20 summit and then to Yokohama, Japan for the summit of the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation.
