It seems strange that the media has been slow to pick up on president Obama's secret agenda on his tour of the pacific .He has visited the kiting mecca's of Hawaii, Canberra and Darwin and now onto Bali (reflecting his all round preference for glassy flat,gusty and waves.)There was gaping hole in his 24 hr oz visit where he had an hour to spare in Canberra and then 45 mins in Darwin where his whereabouts were unexplained and unaccounted for .(I wondered why that insurance company made a strange offer in regards to him being eaten by a croc in Darwin ,now it all makes sense) It also expalins the huge enterage of support planes and vehicles to cary his kit Aparrently Michelle is much more than a kiter babe and is in on the act as well .(Is there a photo somewhere of him carrying her around on his back while kiting?)

I can't believe how far up the aussies are up the yanks arses

Spent 6 years in 59 royal marines British forces when the **** hits t he fan the yanks would be last on my list look at the troubles in the world and who's the main instigator

The US president is just a puppet; his kite is being flown by the men with no faces....

... they blocked off a heap of roads so Darwin's water front (where I work) was blocked and I couldn't go home. I tried to sneak down some back roads via city center and I ended up stuck near where old prez was doing some standing around speech thing.

I had to wait 2 hours so I walked to a little shop to get a drink then go back to the car and wait it out! I walk into a corner shop, 1 minute later I come back out and the path was blocked off, so now I'm seperated from my car and stuck behind a fence with hundreds of police and undercover guys who were trying to blend in but stood out like dogs balls. After an hour of standing around prez and his thousands of cars drive past. I was close enough to see the whites of his eyes and we made eye contact for sure. He even smiled and waved at me.

We still had to wait for another half hour even though he was miles away now, WTF is up with that! All these people, all these police and under cover dudes, just standing around and waiting.

Lucky for me the wind wasn't up, I might have made the news trying to jump the fence, running for the car yelling 'winds up dudes'. ''time to pump up guys".

Doesn't Obama know his tour is DOW.

see ya,

If we become the 51st State of America (not to far off by the sounds of things) Maybe we will be able to buy cheaper kites in the country, cheaper cars, cheaper petrol (oops sorry gasoline), cheaper houses and have high paying banker executive positions, pay lower taxes, be married to a beauty pagent queen and live happily ever after I think I'm dreaming

hey this is about Barak's kitesurf tour . has anyone managed to get some photos?Does he ride strapped or strapless,hooked/unhooked and is he into gaylees or rayleys?

WE DONT EVER want to be the 51 st STATE of THe U.S.A.

THere economy is SO screwed up. HUge numbers of Homeless, little to no social safety net, health , medicine etc and very little social justice or compassion.

Adults working for $6.50 an hour (min wage)in a huge number of occupations. If you havent got a college degree your almost doomed to live in a cycle of poverty.

USA is a huge competetive rat race of bullying rich people exploiting the masses. Trouble is they all seem to think this is O.K.

Austarlia might have its problems but I was really glad to get back here after a trip to the U.s. Great trip and probably a great place to live if you are rich...

There is no American DReam, its all a nightmare....(the only good thing is the value for money ski resorts....

Old Jenkins is spot on. Its a real shame, and most of the Merican people are good people who are getting screwed while they are being brainwashed by the big fat controllers. If you don't believe it, head on over and spend one day watching tv in your hotel room. 7 out of 10 adds are for pharmaceuticals trying to pitch their bullsh it act for symptoms of anything you might or might not have. Dupont, Monsanto, Halliburton, Bechtal, they are all large companies that have exploited small countries while getting and staying at the top, under the banner of the stars and stripes. Those companies have no moral fabric and live for a bottom line...period!
Australia is an awesome country, and they got most things right when it comes to looking after its people. It ranks 2nd in the world as being the best place to be a mother and raise kids, next to Norway.
The international community would NOT let a country like China take over, it just won't happen....not in this day and age. Yes, its good to have American allies, but we DON"T have to model the American strategies that have failed so epically.

this is supposed to about the Prsident of the USa's kite tour .Still no photos and a whole load of political twaddle

He didn't get out for a kite today, I saw him having a round of golf at Royal Melbourne instead. I reckon he would've been kicking himself, cause half way through his round the southerly picked up. Probably why he dropped a few shots, too busy looking at the swaying tree!

The US has undoubtedly been the most prosperous nation in recent times with a massive middle class and is world leading in many areas.

Americans are as friendly as Australians but without the tall poppy jealousy of Aussies. They believe in individual freedom, enterprise and consequent reward . They are rightly suspicious of Govt and the welfare state.

Your observations and perceptions of the US are prejudiced.

I work at the ABC network in Darwin and Obama made me have the Most stressful day.

6 live Crosses
6 Live feeds to ABC24
and countless segments sent around the country.

Ridiculous.

I may of or may not have had a sesh with one of his service workers this arvo. He was an american lad, yep with an american accent. Only ? for me was he was flying a Best kite, surely if your working directly for Mr President you can afford better than a Best?

Anyone else spotted the Hombre yet?
