THE United States embassy in Canberra advised President Barack Obama not to make the provocative, anti-Abbott speech on climate change which he made at the University of Queensland in Brisbane.
That the President acted against the advice of his own embassy reveals a deeply divided and in part dysfunctional Obama administration, unable to reconcile its foreign policy objectives and its domestic imperatives.
The speech was not only damaging for Tony Abbott, as it will be used by all his opponents on climate change up until the next election, it was a disaster for US foreign policy, because the gratuitous climate change remarks completely overshadowed all the regional and security content which Obama’s foreign policy team wanted to be the main point of his major address on his Asian tour.
Obama’s self-indulgent folly was in striking contrast to the masterful performances of China’s President Xi Jinping and India’s new Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Xi and Modi have both achieved almost everything they wanted from Asia’s season of summits. Obama has achieved almost nothing.

“Obama doesn’t even respect one of the USA’s best allies.”
Easily understood as he doesn’t respect the U.S.A either.
He is only interested in destroying America -- and its allies.
Part of the Australian media sees the Obama Administration is dysfunctional. Millions of US voters agreed this month.
You have no idea, or maybe you do, how dysfunctional and corrupt this regime is.
His hope and change has turned into a nightmare for America.
To think he would turn his back on one of America's staunchest allies in Australia, is what our liar-in-chief does.
He has alienated most of our other allies and continues to weaken this once, great country.
As a friend of Australia, I thank you for your patriotism and offer you my continued support and gratitude!
Homos are always the “odd man”, if you want to call that species that.
Who doesn’t like Aussies?
The USA still has allies but Obama can kiss my behind. He tried to make the Great Barrier Reef a climate change issue as we have repealed a Carbon Tax and he did not agree with that. He has been written to by our Foreign Minister correcting his mistakes and telling him that we are creating world’s best practice on maintaining the reef.
He is a arrogant SOB. On the whole he acted like an ass but he is not alone, Merkel also took the opportunity to poop in our kitchen. What a classless bunch of idiots.
What were the gratuitous climate change remarks that were uttered by Obozo. There seems to be a paywall at the referenced article.
Ragheads and those that follow their teachings.
But the Fairfax Press and the Sydney Broadcasting Corporation are gushing all over him.
I’m sure Australians realize that most Americans despise the Caliph-in-Chief and bear no ill will towards us as Americans.
Communist Pig!
As a newspaper, isn't it your job to set the record straight?
Obama is an evil nitwit. Some say he is a genius, but I don’t think so. He has awakened the nation very forcefully when he would have preferred we ramin asleep.
He has again demonstrated to the world that he is a bumbling, narcissistic fool not to be trusted with the donut money.
Keep chipping Greg, the ahole is cracking.
It was fine 5 minutes ago! Maybe articles time out or increased traffic kicks in the paywall.
He and his wife are both odd men out.
Well, the American People did put this guy where he is, and then kept him there for four or more years.
