Three years into his administration and he finally makes it to Australia.

Don't suppose you Aussies generously provided a slang-a-prompter to help him get through it? :D

[Jimbuna]

So where was the raising of a tin of Foster's in a toast then? :hmmm:

Dont imply that Australians drink Fosters, they tend to find that deeply offensive :DL - as all the one i have met totally hate it :woot:

[mookiemookie]

I don't blame them. It's a pretty terrible beer.

Not as bad as Carlsberg, its way nastier, but weirdly Carlsberg Export is quite nice.

Fosters is ok in my book. Then again, so is Schaefer Beer. :hmmm:

[soopaman2]

So did he butcher it like JFK did with his "Ich bin ein Berliner", where he proclaimed that he was a jelly donut?

Poor Obama, hey at least now we know Ann "the man" Coulter is wrong. Your black is not better, both are equally pathetic.:D

He did look like he was referring to notes with some of the slang. I can;t wait till he gets back to US and starts flinging "Ear Bashing" around the Oval Office.:D

I too am deeply offended by the suggestion that Fosters is even Australian. It's British South African now.:O: No-one down here drinks that waste water.

To hono(u)r our 60 year treaty, we offer you Barak Hussein Obama.:yeah: He's all yours. You may need to build him his own basketball court and buy him a pair of sneakers.

Now, that's not what I saw on the tele.

I learned that everyone in Oz drinks and loves Fosters.:haha:

I got cursed out by an Oz fella I was playing a multiplayer with for telling him I'd buy him a Fosters.

He told me to stuff it somewheres, before he explained it isn't even popular over there. He didn't refer to it as waste water.... Water yes, he used a worse reference than waste.:DL

Nah too late he buggered off to Bali last night. I will take you up on the Newcie Brown though.:yep:

Foster's has one of the worst after tastes ever. Its crap beer. I think the only reason why anyone thinks Fosters is the Australian national beverage of choice is because of Paul Hogan. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_AmlG11cWg)

[nikimcbee]

But what about the ad with Reece in it?

We had some Australian relatives of The Frau visit us a few months ago. When we talked about beer, he told me that Fosters is Australian for crap.

[Torplexed]

Fosters is what's just bad about Australian beer, I lump it in the same category as Victoria Bitter and Carlton Draught. I'll stick with my Boag's premium if I'm having a beer. Might be from Tasmania but damned if it isn't good beer.

Tasted like the dredgings from Houston harbour after Ike.
