[QUOTE]TONY Abbott will miss meeting with Barack Obama next week after the US president pulled out of two key Asian summits. Mr Obama has cancelled his trip to the back-to-back APEC and East Asia Summit due to the continuing government shutdown that began when Republicans refused to pass the federal budget. Secretary of State John Kenny will replace him at both events in Bali and Brunei. The announcement comes as the Prime Minister prepares to travel to Bali on Sunday for the APEC conference following meetings with president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Jakarta earlier this week. Mr Abbott yesterday flagged a close relationship with Mr Yudhoyono, who he said had accepted him as John Howard's political son and heir. "I was able to bask in John Howard's glory, so to speak," he said. Mr Abbott said he had met Mr Yudhoyono several times in Opposition and he was always a gracious man.[/QUOTE] [URL]http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/national/tony-abbott-to-miss-meeting-with-barack-obama/story-fni0xqrb-1226732730534[/URL]
What a shame. A true loss for the people of America.
I still can't believe that people are supporting Abbott considering how awful John Howard was and the fact that Tony's an exact copy of him.
Nononono. They've got it mixed up. Obama didn't cancel the meeting with Tony because of the shut down of the US government... He shutdown the US government so he could cancel the meeting with Tony.

Abbott is a joke anyway, no big loss.
America's government is run by a bunch of kids.
