Born in the USA? No worries!:

Roy Morgan Research says President Barack Obama wins hands down with Australians. We write to let him know.

Dear Prez

Please excuse the informality but we're like that down here. To most of us, the PM is just Julia and the Opposition Leader is Tony.

In case you're own people don't re-elect you on 6th November, you might want to think about moving here. Because we think you're terrific and, if you were up for election in Australia, you'd be a shoe-in. Truly.

Recent Roy Morgan research shows that you're popular amongst all age groups - especially 18-34 year olds - and genders. You even cross our own political divide, with both Labor voters (Julia) and Liberal voters (Tony) applauding your  time in the job, and hoping you get four more years.

The major things you've done works for us. ObamaCare, finding Osama Bin Laden, reining in Wall Street excesses (or starting to anyway), ending the war in Iraq, tax cuts. And we love it when you talk about how the 'American Dream' is still achievable for the many thousands of migrants and refugees who live in the United States.

Conversely, when Mitt criticises intiatives such as ObamaCare, we don't approve. But he does score brownie points for caring about small business and reducing their taxes (but is there a politican who doesn't care about small business?).

Finally, you wouldn't have to worry about Donald Trump. Our Prime Minister doesn't have to be born here: Julia was born in Wales and Tony was born in England. So someone born in Hawaii - another land of surf and sun - is absolutely fine with us. You'd be right at home.

 

Best wishes
