I find this pretty interesting.

Poor President Assad and Ahmadinejad. They didn't do to well in the polls.

But I do have to say let's hear it for Angela Merkel. She did very well!

Maybe they should do like what the Major League ball parks do and have a World Leader Race like they do the Sausage Races!

The fact that Chavez scores higher than Bush reminds me why I give a rats *** what the French think. They like a leader they feel more inclined to surrender to.

Its wasn't just the french that were polled. Americans, Germans, Spaniards, Italians and Brits were polled too.

One of the least popular presidents has the highest influence. I see a problem with that, a very, very big problem. Hope this doesnt happen again, ever.

I don't think it matters who the President of the United States is, popular or unpopular. Because the United States has so much influence (in many areas), he/she is bound to have a lot of influence.

Your point is understood.

However, my point was that being a nation that has such a strong influence around the world, we really need to be more careful with who we allow to be our president. There is a lot more at stake than simply just our country when choosing a POTUS.

You're right. The Americans elected a president who wasn't ready for the job and had little experience and was only there for political reasons.... wait are we talking about Bush or Obama?

[480sx]

Obviously talking about bush. Your attempt at a parallel was awful.

Not going to get into it though.
