Obama is comparable to Rudd in many ways, they are good at making speeches but bad on delivery.
Obama looks like an OK leader but the Democrats that look useless and this latest IRS profiling issue shows how hypocritical they are.
In Australian politics Gough is a better match, he was also surrounded by fools that destroyed whatever credibility he had, except even the democrats are no where near as incompetent as Gough's team was.
There are many things about US politics that you can not easily understand, it is a very complex many headed beast.
For starters many Obama supporters and critics like to call him a great socialist or even more extreme calling him a communist when most of his platform is much like Bush's even the stuff he claimed he was going change was either a lie or a failure.
US politics are about 1 km (metric) to the right of our politics.
Even on the daily show (a democrat biased show) they admired Howard for him introducing his gun law reforms.
What they call socially progressive in the US we have either done decades ago here (Obama care) or is just whatever in this country.
