The US Embassy in Canberra is asking users on Facebook to suggest things he should do while in town next month. So head on over and tell him what to see and do in our fair city, or if they’re the sort of keywords that may illicit interest from intelligence services, post below.
Existing suggestions include give a speech at ANU (assuming the Secret Service Counter Assault Teams can overcome the Spring fluff), have a Brodburger, visit Mooseheads (probably ending up like this) and take his motocade through a McDonalds drive through at lunchtime (perhaps in Charnwood?).

And right now Echelon is picking up on that string of words and triangulating the location and owner of the web server… run JB run!
On a side note though, there were rumours a while back after photos from New York showed an SUV with roof hatch, that his motorcade now has a bit of kit from Dillon Aero. Given all the controversy when Bush came in 2005 about the AG granting permits for the Secret Service, wonder if they’ll let that one through?
Did you know that if you place your hand on the monitor and say:

He should do his best not to interrupt the daily goings on in Canberra and maybe check out a metal gig at the Basement.

That would go down like a lead balloon in yankland… taking their president on a massive pub crawl. The yanks drink like fish, but work very hard at pretending that they don’t and judging harshly anyone caught in public office seeming to enjoy alcohol at all.
