Barack Obama 'very interested' in Australian federal election | News.com.au (http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/barack-obama-very-interested-in-australian-federal-election/story-e6frfku0-1225895166597)

What could possibly interest him in this out of the way place, surely he's not looking for policies here. Of course we do have some interesting takes on health care and taxes, not to mention stimulus spending and border protection, all of which are on the agenda this election. But there isn't a "ranga" or a "mad monk" in sight in the US and the US doesn't have the tradition of changing the leader mid term so no tips there

He's trying to get some tips on how to be King for life in the USA. Maybe he'll stumble onto the answer Down Under.

You can't be king for life down here, hell you can't even be prime minister for a full term. The only answer we might have for him is beware the falling poll
