Watso

I have always appreciated your views and comments.

You seem to have a steady head and perspective on everything.

Your analysis of Abbott as a typical "Aussie bloke" is close to the mark.

Don't tell any one but I wear my speedos for the 6:45 am swim :-).

However, he is a bit too quick with the jab without thinking of the right cross or uppercut.

A man of toughness and perseverence and I am sure, compassion, but something seems to be lacking IMO.

I think it might be intellect. Not saying he is dumb, but I feel he is more influenced by his ideology (give me a child till he is seven....) rather than adult analysis of how the world works.

You never know how someone can perform and he has done better than I thought.

Still not my man. It's still Turnbull for me.
