“Bush didn’t even say goodbye” – Rudd

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?
