Obama's visit to mark 70 years of Australia-US diplomatic relations
The Australian ^ | February 2, 2010 | Brad Norington

Posted on 02/01/2010 6:15:33 PM PST by myknowledge

BARACK Obama will make his first official visit to Australia as president next month as part of a planned trip to Indonesia and the Pacific island of Guam.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed the trip today, saying the President's visit was an important part of his efforts to broaden and strengthen partnerships necessary to advance US security and prosperity.

Mr Gibbs said that while in Australia, Mr Obama would commemorate the 70th anniversary of formal diplomatic relations between the US and Australia.

The President also looked forward to holding discussions with Kevin Rudd on issues including the economic recovery, climate change, clean energy, nuclear non-proliferation and the war in Afghanistan, to which Australia has committed 1550 troops.

How long will it take the Kenyan entity to a) Apologise for the existence of the USA b) Insult someone c) Incorrectly refer to something/someone resulting in an uncomfortable embarrassment d) Contradict himself e) Praise the indigenous inhabitants and attempt to speak a phrase or two in Yuwaalaraay or Uw Olkola?

I wager 27 minutes.

While I am certainly no fan of Obama, I am glad he is visiting Australia.

I don't want to give 0bozo the commie pig any credit or wish him well for anything. I want him to fail miserably at everything he attempts or even thinks about. I hope & pray his Australian trip will be a giant flop, just to confirm to the Aussies what a SOB piece of crap we now have for a pres____ent.

Another boondoggle paid for by the hard working American taxpayers, whom 0bozo the commie pig despises & resents. Some day 0bozo will reap the eternal judgement for his arrogance, deceit & pride.

I hope & pray every day that God will ruin this arrogant prideful SOB and take his mind from him, and cause him to eat grass like a wild beast in the field, as God did to Nebuchadnezzar about 2700 years ago.

He may, but Obama is serving God's judgment on America.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

This is the reason why.

The only real question: will he bow?

What’re the odds?

I used to live in Canberra, and prior to arrival of the Queen, all the streets on the royal route would be re-paved.

In Oz, is it 110 or 220? Just making sure if the teleprompter will work..

240V, but if they use a 220>110 stepdown, it'll work, but he'll just speak a little faster.

I understand your points. However we (conservatives & patriots) did not forget God, or take God out of the classroom or promote a homosexual/hedonistic/anti-God/secular-humanist agenda. That was done by the liberals & lefties & socialists who by hook & by crook & devious means have conspired to destroy America, now with 0bozo leading the charge. Unless God intervenes with a miracle & destruction of 0bozo, our country is lost.

I am a born again Christian, but I fail to see how God would be willing to save Sodom & Gomorrah if only 10 righteous souls were found, but is willing to allow the destruction of America in spite of desperate prayers & fastings & pleadings by hundreds of thousands, if not millions of concerned Christians. However I am thankful that a single election of Scott Brown 2 weeks ago, that seemed to be an impossibility even just a month ago, took place and appears (for now) to have thrown the demoRATs & their proposed healthcare debacle into a quandry. Maybe God will still remove 0bozo from the scene in some similar fashion.

Actually, Prime Minister John Howard was visiting New York at the time of the attacks.

I have no idea where bj was on that day. Seems like Hillary made some story up about Chelsea running from the falling buildings.
