Rangkuman kunjungan SBY ke Australia

Tak dapat dipungkiri lagi, minggu ini adalah milik presiden kita. Hampir tidak ada "cacat" mengenai SBY. Semua media menyanjungnya dengan sebutan yang luar biasa. Saya katakan luar biasa karena memang jarang ada pemimpin yang berkunjung ke Australia dipuji seperti pujian terhadap SBY. Beberapa sebutan yang Saya temukan antara lain SBY disebut sebagai:
- Our best friend.
- More than just good friends.
- Elected overwhelmingly.
- HE'S a charmer, is SBY.
- SUSILO Bambang Yudhoyono is a different kind of Indonesian leader.
- Yudhoyono's obvious charm and warmth were much in evidence.
- Yudhoyono is the most pro-Australian president Indonesia has had.
- He is certainly the most competent individual to hold that office, at least since Suharto.
- A comprehensive partnership.
- He is not corrupt, he speaks English, he reads widely, he has had extensive exposure to the West, especially the US, and being a former general he knows how to handle the military and how to get things done.
- Yudhoyono is a gifted politician, a moderate reformer, a competent technocrat.
- dan lain sebagainya.
