Oh but we are!
The Hatch got within 20 feet of the Queen, silly bugger was so excited she forgot to use her phone camera.
For Obama security was a little tighter, whereas the Queens routes were marked, signposted, and advertised weeks in advance, Obama’s trail was kept secret until the day.

They shot anyone who got too close to Obama.

It certainly produced a completely different atmosphere in the Capital than that of Her Madge.
With Obama, there was a dispurption to daily life for all Canberrans with the least of it listening to the damn planes that were in the air 24 hours straight patrolling the airspace and keeping a watchful eye on us all.
Her Madge and Flip even traversed the Lake in an open wooden barge and then gathered flowers off little people.

Sure, why would anybody want to kill her? She's essentially useless.
Sorry, not a big fan of the monarchy.

OOoOOoOooops!
A SECRET booklet describing Barack Obama's Australian schedule down to the minute, as well as the breakdown of his security convoy and the mobile numbers of dozens of senior US and Australian officials, was found by the Herald lying on a Canberra street yesterday morning.
The loss, a significant and hugely embarrassing security slip-up, will leave a sour final note to what was an otherwise positive two days for the Gillard government.
The booklet, Overall Program and Orders of Arrangements, for the US President's visit, was found by this reporter in a gutter about 100 metres from the entrance to Parliament House.
Last night a top security analyst, Alan Dupont, said the find was far more than embarrassing. It represented a significant security breach.
The lost document ... slip-up.
''If that had got into the wrong hands it would certainly put the President and some of his entourage at risk, if someone could respond quickly enough to having the information,'' said Professor Dupont, the Michael Hintze Chair of International Security at Sydney University.
''Even if you were an ordinary crim, there would be a market for that kind of book, so it's not good news.''
The 125-page booklet is classified ''in confidence'' and its cover states its content ''is not to be communicated either directly or indirectly to any person not authorised to receive it''.
More than 120 pages are dedicated to minute by minute descriptions of Mr Obama's schedule, and even describe which limousine door the President will enter and exit.

Okay...let me see if I've got this right...was found by the Herald lying on a Canberra street yesterday morning.
So this schedule is accidentally dropped in the street....
And just by the sheerest of coincidences, it happens to found by a reporter for a major newspaper who was walking by and picked it up?
Yeah right....
That's about as likely as getting struck by lightning while standing on a golf course, right after having hit a hole in one, with a winning Super Lotto ticket in your pocket....
How about this as an alternative explanation... Somebody leaked the schedule book to the reporter and in order to protect that person, he cooked up this cockamamie story about finding it in the street....
Does that sound just slightly more plausible?
