Obama learns from Julia

Or so it seems.

President Barack Obama “hammered” Mitt Romney in the second debate, as Julia Gillard famously did to her opposite number in the Australian Parliament last week.

Even pro-Obama commentators were very unhappy with his previous lack-luster performance, wishing aloud that he would take a few hints from the fiery Aussie Prime Minister.

And that is what he did, attacking Romney on his corporate past, presenting a different appearance entirely on stage at New York’s Hofstra University.
