Obama Shortening Australian Visit to Spend More Time in Indonesia
verunserum ^ | 3/15/10 | Morgen

Allies? Who needs allies? From today’s Sydney Morning Herald (emphasis added):

Barack Obama’s trip to Australia is going ahead but his 24-hour visit will be contained to Canberra.

The US President will address Federal Parliament on March 26 after flying from Bali the day before and dining with Prime Minister Kevin Rudd at the Lodge.

Mr Obama’s shortened itinerary – which allows him to spend more time in Indonesia – will include a meeting with Governor-General Quentin Bryce and a range of events to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Australia-US alliance.

Mr Obama was forced to ditch his original plans for a family trip to Australia due to his bid to clinch a historic revamp of America’s healthcare system.

Of course, he has to spend more time in Indonesia; bowing to all of the mohammedans takes a long time.

You read my mind. Exactly what I was thinking.

Save yourself the grief, Aussies. Just cancel the whole thing.

Great, just insult the only country that fought with us in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I, Afghanistan and Gulf II. I cannot imagine an allie that has been more loyal or more willing to send their sons and daughters to the aid of America. For the sake of God if you can’t do right by the Australians who is left.

He must really be homesick for the land of his birth, wherever it is, cause it ain`t here.
