Obama insults Australia: Why did president diss close ally's prime minister?
Foxnews.com ^ | Nick Adams

Posted on 11/26/2014 9:17:28 AM PST by RoosterRedux

President Obama’s defiance appears to know no bounds.

Why do I say this?

Consider this: Since the beginning of the last century, Australia is the only country to have fought alongside the United States in every single major conflict.

Australia is America’s closest ally in Asia, and indeed, the world.

So, what President Obama did when he came to the G20 meeting in Brisbane, Australia, was stunning and offensive.

Mirroring his action in sending the bust of Winston Churchill back to England, the President gave a provocative, anti-Abbott (Australia’s PM) speech on climate change at the University of Queensland.

But more than being provocative, it has emerged that the staff at U.S. embassy in Canberra advised him not to give the speech.

To provide background, Tony Abbott is the conservative Prime Minister of Australia, a leader who stopped illegal immigration to his country, a man who has insisted that everyone living in Australia be part of “Team Australia,” and the only world leader to have confronted Russian President Vladimir Putin over his actions in Ukraine and the downing of flight MH17.

Once he took office, he immediately scrapped the carbon tax (cap-and-trade) that his liberal predecessor had implemented when she became prime minister. Now, Australia has come to represent the last great holdout to the climate change agenda.

owebama is an immature, arrogant, condescending thug who suffers delusions of grandeur. Community organizers are like that.

Insulting allies and empowering enemies is the Obama foreign policy strategy.

It’s so much fun to be one of America’s close allies these days. He’s lucky Obama didn’t call for his resignation, or denounce Australia as an “apartheid state”.

Obama weakens America's allies and strengthens her enemies.

To put it vulgarly, Obama is a dangerous, delusional prick. Period.

Of course Obama would dis a better man than himself, that is his nature. And the Australian PM is working to protect and support Australia. Obama seems to be on a rather different mission with America.

Ooh, ooh, I know the answer to that one.

Because despite outward appearances, inwardly Obama is no different than any other petulant 3-year old who loves nothing better than to throw a tantrum and dump his meal off of the high-chair table and onto the floor. In fact, in his view, if he can throw his sippy cup and pacifier at the wall as well, it's even better.

I was right, wasn't I?

Obonbon is upset that Australia doesn’t treat the Aborigines properly.

Australia, in his world view, is as bad as the US, and needs to be punished.

FUBO.

If this is how disrespectfully Obama treats other world leaders in public, image how he treats them in private.

For example, would the King of Saudi Arabia be using his power as supreme leader of OPEC to destroy America’s oil industry by refusing to cut production if Obama had shown some consideration for him?

Think of the many times George Bush II entertained Saudi Arabian leaders at his ranch, not to mention Vladimir Putin, in order to keep his foreign policy from collapsing as Obama’s has.

Except for the leaders of Hamas and the Ayatollahs of Iran, Obama has been everyone’s enemy — including his fellow Democrats, although they’ve been so grubered with lies they can’t see what’s been happening to them — until, like Mary Landrieu, they lose elections and desperately try to save themselves by supporting sacred anti-Obama policies like approving the X-L pipeline.

Because Obama is a Muslim supremacist seeking to destroy Western Civilization and install worldwide Islam. One of his many ways to do this is by bleeding the west dry through the nonsense of combating bogus global warming.
