Obama trashes Australia's national food during a visit from Aus' Prime Minister! I have been LOLing about this all yesterday morning. How rude yet how true?
Here is a clip from The Australian news website:But as the atmosphere became more relaxed, one female student said she and her family wanted to know more about Vegemite, which Ms Gillard described as a black paste with a salty taste best spread lightly on toast.
Vegemite was, Mr Obama declared, "horrible". (Tell them like it is. Save the diplomacy for later)
"It's like a quasi-vegetable by-product paste that you smear all over your toast," Mr Obama told the students after one asked Mr Gillard (anyone else catch that Australia's main news publication referred to Julia Gillard as a Mr? God they hate her) to describe Vegemite.
"That sounds good, doesn't it?" Mr Obama. (lay on the sarcasm Mr. President)
After Ms Obama offered his view of Vegemite, talk turned to Australian Rules football, with the President revealing Ms Gillard had given him the present of a Sherrin football to mark her visit.
"She was kicking it it my office," Mr Obama said.
"Almost broke a bust of (Abraham) Lincoln."
