Just chiming in that Obama cancelled his trip to Australia to pass this bill. Great show of support for supposed allies. Then in his speech about his newly planned trip to this part of the world he only mentioned Indonesia and had to issue an clarification that he was going to Australia aswell.

Plenty of Aussies are pretty pissed atm about it. Not that I personally care that much, but it seems that everything the Obama administration does this week has pissed people off.

To be fair, this was a pretty big issue.  At least it passed (or will by around 2 am tonight).  If it didn't then I'd be pissed as an Australian.

Just make sure he doesn't cheat your leaders on the gift baskets like he did the queen of england.

Look I don't care. Its just silly that they didn't notice the overlap weeks ago and announce it then as opposed to the day before.
