Prime Minister Kevin Rudd meets with President Barack Obama

There's been a delay in US President Barack Obama's visit to Australia. The President has postponed his departure by 3 days, as he continues battling for health care reform in the US.

His press secretary Robert Gibbs made the announcement online, also saying Mr Obama's wife Michelle and his daughters will no longer accompany him.

The trip had coincided with the US school holidays with the President hoping to show his family, his child-hood home in Indonesia.
