We are honored by the visit of figures such as President Obama, and we are not willing to sell at a low price." These cups”. Obama's visit to Australia was originally scheduled to take place from March 18 to 24 this year. Later, because Obama insisted on staying in the country to promote the passage of the health care reform bill in Congress, the visit was adjusted twice and was confirmed to take place in June. However, a White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs announced last week that Obama was once again postponing his visit to Australia. Gibbs did not explain why. However, public opinion believes that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the main reason for Obama to make this decision.
