Barack Obama delays visit to Australia

Herald Sun ^ | March 13, 2010

[myknowledge]

Although his scheduled trip to the Land of Oz has been delayed, this time, the Zero would be coming alone.

Another mission for the Air Force One crew...

Obama must be coming to Oz to get some advice from Queensland premier Anna Bligh on how to structure his ObamaCare legislation package.

[Truth29]

Too bad Australia won't say Obama’s revised plans don't fit into their schedule and they will check back with him in November.

[samtheman]

Australia’s gain (at least for now); America’s loss (each and every day).

[mlocher]

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Which to choose? Health care or Asia? Health care or Asia?

This guy shoots himself in the foot each day. Obama's time management skills demonstrate a victim mentality. With proper scheduling and less demands of others, he could have avoided this fiasco. All he had to do is take control of the situation and do what was within his control, something liberals are loath to do. Of course, this is his cause -- to make the world just for victims.

[PghBaldy]

Obama, who lived in Jakarta with his late mother Ann Dunham in the 1960s I didn't realize she didn't take her husbands' names... ;) Does Obama ever even mention his 2nd "dad" Lolo Soetoro?

[Gay State Conservative]

Sounds like Rudd wants Americans to wait a year for a heart operation as much as Hussein does.

[TomGuy]

an address to Parliament

Maybe Tele Prompter is ailing and didn't want to be flying around the globe.

[Ann Archy]

Trust me....the kids and MO will be on that trip.

WHY WOULD HE LEAVE THE FAMILY ALONE DURING THEIR SPRING BREAK??

[AU72]

If I was the Aussie PM and I had a vacation to the Great Barrier Reef set for after Obama’s visit I would leave him a consolation gift of the Bee Gee’s greatest hits.

[gatorhead]

How about an AC/DC box set?

[windsorknot]

Just stay home, mate.

[LurkLongley]

Let’s see...pi** off the Brits, diss Poland and Czechoslovakia, issue ultimatums to Israel, and, take Toyota to the woodshed. About the only ally the Obaminator hasn’t gone out of his way to alienate are the Aussie’s... oh, wait.

[AU72]

How about an AC/DC box set?

Naw. He's lucky, I would give him the Crocodile Dundee Anthology.

[windsorknot]

Obama: You Aussies can wait; I have a country to shaft first.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

[Kanzan]

The Zippy family has terribly imperial pretensions. Their schedule dithering is causing thousands of people to waste their own time and effort. Expect this to escalate as the Zips see the end of their reign come into view.

[cameraeye]

He'll just have to wait till next year to celebrate mohammed’s birthday(March 20)!

[The Great RJ]

Thanks for reminding me of Mohammed’s birthday, I want to be sure to enjoy bacon and pork chops that day just to celebrate.

[richardtavor]

No, vacation at taxpayer’s expense because he has been working so hard to destroy the country.

[browniexyz]

Maybe because Indonesia isn’t really safe for them or him?
