The Award-Winning President

Who would have thought that Barry would also be made one of Australia's Living Treasures? And yet, I have acquired a photo of the presentation medal, so it must be true.

Shouldn't that award have a picture of the bunyip? The Obama that 52% of America voted for is surely as mythical.

To date, the most famous "living treasure" has been Marcus Einfeld. Famous for lying, cheating, perjuring and probably stealing (as in fiddling his expenses) whilst living high on the hog as a judge.

Boy on a Bike: that sounds more like national fool's gold.

Yes but doesn't Obama fit well with Leunig, and the duck.

Cheers

I have to repeat that (whatever visiting American judges on "Hey, Hey, It's Saturday" might say), Australians are not racist; but they are certainly ratbagist, and proudly so.
