When President Obama triggers to Asia this weekend to highlight his so-called pivot to the area, he will make a little history: Obama will come to be the first sitting U.S. president to visit Myanmar. The country, also known as Burma, was a pariah state for years, ruled by a ruthless military dictatorship. That is changing, and the Obama administration has actually encouraged an impressive reform procedure in the country. However it could be too early for a victory lap. Aung Din, a Burmese exile in Washington, D.C., says the U.S. feedback to the modifications in his homeland has actually been much more than enough. The Obama administration has actually suspended most sanctions and sent an ambassador to Myanmar. However Aung Din says this is not the right time for Obama to go.

- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Some argue the first visit by a sitting U.S. president to the country also known as Burma is too much reward for not enough political reform. But analysts say the trip could be a success if it focuses on the work still to be done.
