Australian Greens leader Bob Brown says he will listen intently to Barack Obama when the US president addresses a joint meeting of parliament later on Thursday.
That's because he regards Mr Obama as "wiser and more astute" than his predecessor George W Bush. ( who brown heckled whilst he spoke to Parliament and again later while Pres bush was addressing the Australian troops , i was there , it was disgusting , ) Senator Brown castigated Mr Bush during a presidential address to parliament in 2003, demanding the US withdraw from Iraq and release Australian terror suspect David Hicks from detention. ( actually he asked when the US would replace the stars with a swazstikers and bring back slavery) The Greens leader and other parliamentarians have been warned by Speaker Harry Jenkins to behave themselves during Mr Obama's visit. Senator Brown will be on his best behaviour, indicating he will be "listening intently" to the president's speech. "(The president) is very welcome here, it's a pity he can't stay longer," he told ABC radio. Mr Obama is due to speak at 10.15am (AEDT). Before that the president will visit the Australian War Memorial to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After the speech he will accompany Prime Minister Julia Gillard on a visit to a local school before heading to the US embassy to meet staff. The president leaves Canberra for Darwin after midday. Opposition Leader Tony Abbott plans to congratulate Mr Obama on progress the US is making with the so-called war on terror when the two meet on Thursday morning. "I've just come back from Afghanistan and I'll be able to let him know how proud Australian forces are to be serving with their American comrades," he told reporters in Canberra. Climate change also will be a topic for discussion. "It's interesting the president made it clear last night America has no intention of moving towards an economy-wide carbon tax," Mr Abbott said, adding Australia was exposed in the absence of an international deal. "There's no doubt what the Americans are doing is along the lines of what the coalition proposes." Mr Abbott joined his parliamentary colleagues for a dinner in President Obama's honour on Wednesday night. "The dinner was a very warm occasion, it reflected well on Australia," he said. "We were all at our best last night." Mr Abbott joked that Mr Obama's attempt at Australian slang during his dinner speech was as good as his own impersonation of the American accent. Liberal MP Ken Wyatt, the first indigenous MP in parliament's lower house, said he had told Mr Obama about their shared birthday (August 4) during the parliamentary dinner. "It was a great privilege to meet him," Mr Wyatt told reporters, adding the president was an inspiration to Aboriginal people in Australia. "It's good for people to see you have an American President who is different to his historical counterparts, who has gotten there on merit alone," Mr Wyatt said. ( whyatt is a socialist and been disowned by indigenous groups as too white in his mind to represent koori folks who he does not like to have in his office ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- this was todays socialist lapdog news from Australia

They were there, they did their duty, they learned 'from his actions' how he felt about them. It doesn't really matter what people say, it's what they do, that they, or we, are judged on. Real Americans know that the Australian soldier will never let us down. He has always been there for us, and he always will. Dad told me the Aussies were the finest troops that WE (Americans) ever served with.

Jack, when this guys face appears on my tv, I will literally hurt myself to get to my remote to shut it off. He is not allowed in my house or on my air waves. I refuse to listen to anything he says in a speach or anywhere since the sound of his voice makes me sick. He is not our president, not really. He duped the majority into allowing him to disgrace the office but he will always be considered an outsider who lied his way in. Noting he says or does means anything. Worthless.

yeah gets to me the same way , however i did see him state that he was born in asia
i did not know kenya was in Asia , or is he saying hawaii is in Asia ?? or is he now saying he was born in indonesia ?? question where does he think asia is? and 2 , i'm not asian i'm Australian , if he want to call me asian i'll sue the know nothing former counter sunk crap maker for racist statements .. Australia is NOT asia , Asia ends outside indonesian teriitorial waters from then on in its OCEANIA which is Australia New Zealand and the pacific Islands righy up to Hawaii which then became US territorial waters did obozo just give away 19 million square k's of US territory to Asia ?? or was he really born in Asia ?? or is this like the Uk where they went so PC that they dont call muslims muslims on the news any more they call them asians ?? so there is no muslim crimes only asian crime .. ????? this doofus needs to be scraped of the soles of our collective shoes and put where he belongs .. under the rubble of the the biggest mosque we can find ..
