Once elected is the skin colour or the sex, of our leaders, important?

Yesterday was an historic day.

The first American President to have been elected with dark coloured skin met the first female Australian Prime Minister on Australian soil, coincidental our Prime Minister  also has quite a strong hair colour.

Many said at the time when both came to office that they were historic days for each of our countries.  Those statements were largely being about the skin colour in America and sex of our Prime Minister.

Despite the many promises and hopes each country had at the time, since then it has been a revelation for some people.

Both leaders made promises and have broken promises, both raised hopes that they would make the world a better place and history will ultimately be the judge of that.

As I have said the elections of each of these two leaders was something many people made a big deal out of at the time.

So now with a little perspective we can ask the question.

Has their sex or their place of birth, or where their parents or grandparents were born -
or their skin colour, eye colour, hair colour, height or even their marital status been the defining issue over and above their policies and their actions? Turn It Up

Today Australia prepares for the arrival of American President Obama, and the most interesting comparison I find in all of it is that the usual critics have been completely silent.

I suppose that is because they are going to be the people meeting with the American President this time around.

But most Australians will recall a time not so long ago when we had a conservative Prime Minister, John Howard, and he was criticised and lambasted for even considering having the American President here at all.

At that time those critics spoke about cartoon characterisations and our Australian leader being a puppet of America and all sorts of other derogatory terms to denigrate both our Australian Prime Minister and the position Australia holds on the world stage.

The bottom line is despite those ignorant comments American leaders respect Australia and come here for strategic reasons to build on our alliance.

This time around we have Julia Gillard hob-nobbing with the very leader her own cheer squad were trying to denigrate not so long ago.

Do you think that makes them two faced and hypocritical?

Awwww
