JULIA Gillard could be "third time lucky", with US President Barack Obama planning to visit Australia in November having cancelled two previous tours when Kevin Rudd was prime minister.
It would be the first time Mr Obama was in Australia as leader, although he passed through the country as a child on his way to Indonesia, where he lived for four years. Mr Obama is also expected to visit Indonesia in November, a year after his first visit to that nation as president.
The federal government is expecting Mr Obama to come to Australia after the APEC leaders' meeting, to be held in the President's home state of Hawaii on November 12-13, as part of a quick regional trip.
Mr Obama cancelled trips to Australia and Indonesia in March and June last year when he was forced to remain in the US to deal with the congressional vote on his health reforms and then the BP oil spill disaster.

Another Vacation Huh?
Third time lucky?
Lucky for whom?

Bet the Mooch takes her very own plane to arrive 4 hours before the PW Obamanation.
Another vacation. This SOB never stops spedning our money like a ghetto lotto winner.
I read that Australia has herds of feral camels. That should make our muslim president happy. How about goats? Shieks need goats when the harem is out getting nails done at the salon. What about dingos? Dogs and arabs don’t get along, I heard. Have any dodos left? Our prez could fit in well.
