All together now: Awwwwwwwww…
Diddums.
Outgoing US President George W Bush did not include Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on his list of final calls to world leaders before handing over to president-elect Barack Obama.
Mr Rudd said in Adelaide on Tuesday that he did not take a call from Mr Bush.
Poor Kevni. All that weird saluting (cringeworthy video here) came to naught after all.
"Mr Rudd was briefly standing alone at the gathering of leaders from 26 countries when he saw Mr Bush, saluted, and strode over, smiling widely, to talk to the US President."
Kevni bucks up again, though, thinking of how he will help America’s new President, Barack H. “Hopenchange” Obama, to Save The World®:
“I look forward very much to working with President Obama, the next president of the United States,” Mr Rudd said.
“Because we have a huge challenge ahead and it begins by working together on the global financial crisis.”
Should we start a pool on how soon Kevin747 jets off to suck up to offer his assistance to The Big O in person?

Poor Widdle Wudd. What did he expect after his blabbing?

You’ve got it, Gramfan. I can’t wait to see how he stuffs up with President Hopenchange, now. That video of Kevin on Rove endorsing Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama will have to come out of the closet soon, we’ll see if we can find it.
Obama is a much savvier player than Kevin, by a factor of about 100. I can see him picking Kevin’s inferiority complex and pathological need to have his ego massaged straight away. He’ll completely duchess Kevin, have him eating out of the palm of his hand, and use him big-time.
John Howard stood up to Dubya on a number of very important issues – I can’t see Kevin being able to stand up to Obama; he wants/needs too badly to be “liked.” Doesn’t bode well for Kevin standing his ground on things like free trade and on our PBS system.
Get the popcorn!

Agree. “Well-nailed”. Can I say that? Invent a new phrase or has it been done before?
Kevin hasn’t been playing with the big boys like Soros and Ayres. He has a lot of catching-up to do.
