AUSTRALIANS hope Barack Obama's trip to Australia will be a case of third-time lucky, but it probably won't include a round of golf for the US President.

.....

The President has twice cancelled trips to Australia - in March and June of last year - and comes this time with the US economy under increasing pressure.

Liberals always love to have these economic summits in fancy locations (Bali, Hawaii, Aspen, Jackson Hole). Why do liberals hate places like East St. Louis, Compton, or Detroit? They need economic stimulus more than those fancy spots.

Probably bowing to someone, no doubt.

Mr President, you're here to work

Every time BHO does his "work", America goes deeper into the bottomless pit. Anyway he could just stay on the golf course for the next year and a half and let us get back on our feet?

Australia's new Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, confirms she is an atheist.

So Hussein should be very comfortable with Australia's newest leader.

Absolutely no reason. The usual excuse is "discussions with leaders of foreign governments". but he can do that with Julia on Nov 7-13 at the shirt-wearing in Hawaii..
