Seriously, would any other world leader have to endure this? I know this coverage of President Barack Obama’s visit to Australia and time with Prime Minister Julia Gillard is supposed to be funny, to be tongue in cheek, but it’s just not. It’s an insult to women in politics.
“THE AUDACITY OF GROPE: Julia and Barack’s special relationship, Touchy-feely PM and President met with a kiss “It’s like she’s won a date with George Clooney”
Thanks RB.


You know what will make you feel better after reading this tripe? Google “photo of bush hugging” and you’ll see a president cuddling all sorts. It’s sexist and selective to say that when a women does it, then it’s sexual and flirtatious.
Bah. I’m amazed this is an Australian rag you’re posting about. The story is Faux–I mean FoxNews-worthy. I guess we’d all better get used to it, with the US Presidential election less than a year away.
I hope President O is sharp enough to keep Michelle closer than his enemies over the next year. We all know what Those People will resort to to try to get somebody impeached. True, President O has never been guilty of anything even remotely resembling a Lewinski scandal, but there was at least one other woman who made accusations against Bill Clinton that just reeked of a Republican payoff. Like $800 000 worth of a boobie grope. Way to kick ACTUAL sexual harrassment victims where it hurts. If my Conspiracy Theory is correct, Those People are likely to attack the current President in the same manner, with yet another story as thin&overstretched as Donald Trump’s comb-over :-P
