Yes it's old news that WikiLeak revealed the USA does not hold Kevin Rudd in high regard but very relevent given Rudd could remain the Prime Minister into the foreseeable future.

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/us-condemns-rudd-20101207-18obr.html

"The cables show how initially favourable US impressions of Mr Rudd, described as a safe pair of hands, were quickly replaced by criticism of his micro-management and mishandling of diplomacy as he focused on media opportunities."

Hands up all those who think we are seeing history repeat itself in more ways than one.

Thanks very much old mate.Laughter makes my day.
Few if I understand it, Americans will be voting here.
And unless I am mistaken, given current and past polling.
Australians by a wide margin , prefer Rudd over Abbott.
Any news on what America thinks of that foolish little man?
Will you be seen here after the election?
Or are you on a mission from Liberal HQ?

C’mon china, caucus booted him for all the reasons stated by the yanks…he is all those things plus a double helping of elitism….

”Listen you stupid RAAF pleb, I’m the Prime Minister and I want my forking pudding now.“

Yes Belly, your man Rudd…friend to those who need no friends, and enemy to those who have none…lol.

The WikiLeaks reference is taken from Rudd's
first Prime Ministership.
The US Ambassador to Australia, Jeffrey Bleich
welcomed our PM in Canberra to the American
Embassy to help them celebrate the 4th July this
year referring to Mr Rudd as his "good friend."
And telling him that he could "win the game!"
Former US President - Bill Clinton
has said that Kevin Rudd, is one of the
world's most intelligent leaders.

Peterr Costello referred to Tony Abbott,
as an "economic illiterate." John Hewson,
refuses to heap any praise on Mr Abbott.
Malcolm Fraser criticises Abbott.

Some of Mr Abbott's sayings are
quite hilarious and revealing, for example -
on poverty: "We just can't stop people from being
homeless if that's their choice."
On climate change: "absolute crap."
Admitting on national television that he has trouble
with the "gospel truth."

The public debate between the two men should be
a real eye-opener.

that foolish little man?
Belly,
I agree, Rudd does look like one of the kids from Southpark & his character matches to perfection.

Well links talk of the silly little Tony too.
My point?
Tell us of the negatives you can find on the web about Rudd.
But too know I can find plenty about Abbott.
I however openly say this is not one of the best but worth a read and grin.
PS to think those with thoughts other than our own are always wrong would give warning that we may be the problem.
