Rudd explained his resignation was “punctiliously evaluated for optimal bi-lateral efficacy, following appropriate processes and natural complementarity, as a vital repudiation to the contemporary proclivities of the residing executive branch.”
It should be noted, Rudd is returning to the Asia Society. This place deals with detailed negotiations with our largest and by far most important trading partner.. China. My guess is he has correctly judged that his estimable talents are wasted on Washington. The Asia Society is headquartered in NY.. [media=https://youtu.be/gX1bRyEueug]
But in the first two years of Rudd's term as ambassador to the US, he had the advantage of simply dealing with a compliant autopen; that was much easier. 🤭
@Thinkerbell If you are looking for an argument, you came to the wrong person..I am sure the next ambassador, (when we decide to appoint one) will be a second tier person who will show up for the ceremonies. Thats all you need now..😷
@walabby Rudd and Turnbull had exactly the same problem. They were the smartest men in the room and their party didnt like it and couldnt keep up. A waste of two excellent Prime ministers..😷
@walabby I agree. Two massive egos..But both had the economic chops to carry it..Now if only we could have gotten the two of them in the same room to run the country without the space/time continuum breaking down. But it does reinforce my cred as being non partisan. One conservative, One Labor..Both wasted opportunities to be governed well..😷
@NativePortlander1970 By that I presume you mean most Americans? Or just most people you know? But I get it.... This is why "Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister were never copied across to America like so many British series..😷
