"Thank you very much. God bless Australia, God bless America, God bless our great alliance"

[barryqwalsh]

Cue banjos and riotous applause crowning US President Barack Obama the new king of Brisbane. Or at least king of the hearts of the 1000 or so people invited to hear the most famous politician in the world speak. He may not be the most popular man at home - the mid-terms proved that - but in the University of Queensland Centre, the chosen host for the "Brisbane Speech", he could do no wrong. Barack Obama wins 1000 new fans with University of Queensland G20 speech

American voters are schitzo. Actually I loved PM Gillard. She may be gone... Australians demonstrate a lot of common sense . But sometime they seem just as mixed up as us yanks.

Australia’s Left are ecstatic that Barack Obama has spoiled Tony Abbott’s party, putting global warming on the G20 agenda with an alarmist speech and the promise of $3 billion to a climate fund:

Climate change a major talking point at APEC and G20 summits
Despite efforts by Prime Minister Tony Abbott to play it down, climate change has been a major talking point at the G20 summit. US president Barack Obama did not hold back, warning governments they could not ignore their global responsibilities and telling university students to raise their voices and be heard. The issue had already dominated pre-conference reporting anyway when the US and China surprised everybody by announcing a deal to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Insiders - ABC

Have a look at 'Insiders', it is a Sunday morning political discussion program.
It has a left-wing bias, as has most of the ABC's output, but it is interesting nonetheless.

Tell Brisbane we'll part with him cheap. Maybe they have something to trade for him? A koala maybe, kangaroo? shrimp?

Let him redistribute their wealth for a while......

If obumble had made them tear out their roundabout so his beast could speed would they have liked him as much?

I don't watch much of the t.v. cable news or talking heads. I read my news off the Internet and watch a little local news.
But thanks if I run across it I'll stop in on it.

We don't have an wealth anymore, the Rudd, Gillard, Rudd governments squandered it.

Well my personal opinion is you all don't Obama then. He is BIG into that stuff and wailing about some phony "man made Globull warming" so he can rape you all for more monies

 

[william the wie]

Nor to be condescending but if you paid attention to US weather you would know that everytime that Jackass (The Totem of the Ds) opens his mouth about the adjusted (made up) numbers supporting AGW we get a massive cold wave that runs up heating bills even here in FL. The sooner he shuts up the better. Severe cooling of the north Atlantic is even damaging the Amazon rain forest and has been since the three stooges: Pelosi, Reid and Obama, got going on their not so funny comedy act.

I always loved Skippy. Did he mention Skippy?

Oh make no mistake Steph, I don't like him like I don't like his friends, the Bushs, or the Clintons. <(Bush's brother from another mother). They are all liars and thieves and have the globe's welfare at heart and at our expense.
My idea of the perfect candidate would be one with the economic aptitude of Bernard Baruch, the intelligence of Einstein, and the guts of Patton all wrapped up in John Wayne.

My Prime Minister stayed to honor our dead. I found the timing of this years APEC summit outrageous.

I'm really proud of Harper. Again.

Probably half the board won't realize what we're talking about.

CBC carried Skippy up here in the 80's. As a young mum I became addicted.

Every day after Sesame Street I had adventure. Skippy. I can still sing the roo song. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
