Damn, even the conservatives in Australia are getting all uppity over the juggernaut that is Obama.

Obama hits back after Australian PM slams his Iraq stance

CANBERRA, Australia (CNN) -- Australia's conservative Prime Minister John Howard said Sunday that victory for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and his party in next year's presidential election would be a boon for terrorists.

"If I were running al Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008, and pray, as many times as possible, for a victory not only for Obama, but also for the Democrats," Howard said, speaking on "Sunday," a TV show on Australia's Nine Network.

March 2008 is when Obama has said he would bring U.S. troops home from Iraq, according to legislation he introduced in the Senate.

Every article about Howard needs to preface "Howard" with "asspit nutsack."

Woah.

Who'd have thought that someone that hates Asians would also hate black people!

Yeah,
I'm pretty sure he refers to all non-white people as them. It always makes me laugh when a leader of another country makes a comment about an election that equates picking one party to the end of the world or something as laughable as a victory for terrorists.
I thought Obama handled it well by saying he can send more Aussies to fight in Iraq if he feels so strongly about it.
