President Obama discussed America's faults Friday with young Asian leaders, saying the U.S. suffers from "pitfalls" such as income inequality, a political system controlled by the wealthy and political parties divided along racial lines.
Speaking at a town-hall event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Mr. Obama said the biggest problem in the U.S. is the influence of the wealthy on the government.
"It is very important to avoid any political system where money overwhelms ideas," said Mr. Obama, who raised a record $1.1 billion for his reelection campaign in 2012. "And the United States politics process has become so expensive and it lasts so long, and even though I was successful at it, we spend hundreds of millions of dollars in television advertising and in all the things that go into a U.S. presidential campaign."
He added, "When politicians have to raise so much money all the time, then they start listening a little bit more to the people who have money, as opposed to ordinary people."
In response to a question from the audience, Mr. Obama also said politics in the U.S. "increasingly is defined by personal attacks and saying very sensational things in the media." He urged young Asian leaders to try "to debate people you disagree with, without saying that they're a terrible person."
The president himself is engaged in a nasty, long-distance debate with Republicans over his plan to accept Syrian refugees in the U.S. He accused GOP opponents this week of being "scared of widows and orphans."
At the town-hall event, Mr. Obama also warned young Asians to guard against racial divisions in politics, saying in the U.S., "it's still an issue that comes up."
