Obama insults Australia: Why did president diss close ally's prime minister?

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.

An insult can be a compliment when it comes from the right source.

Easy. He is white, and Barry Soetoro is a homosexual, Muslim racist.

Why did Obama do it? Why does a rabid dog bite? That’s what Obama does. He enjoys defecating on people...even if he’s staying at their house.

Who is he to prohibit criminal migration? Australia was founded as a penal colony. They are all illegal... < /Obama >
