Ten political figures & what you think of them
1. President Bush: I appreciate his sense of humor, commitment to family and his sense of morals but I think he's also horribly misguided, picks terrible advisors, and doesn't realize that sometimes you have to be flexible and change the direction you are going in!
2. Al Gore: I wish that he was a candidate for president because I like him best. I especially appreciate his dedication to saving the environment. He seems to be a good family man with a sense of morals too.
3. Barack Obama: He just seemed to come out of nowhere, didn't he? I read his first book and was impressed by his honesty about himself as he came to grips with who he is. If Al Gore doesn't run, he would be my choice for the next president.
4. Hillary Clinton: She would probably make the most successful president because she is tough as nails and knows how to get things done. Maybe she would be like Lyndon Johnson, knowing how to use the connections she has to get the bills passed. I just don't care for her personality. She seems very cold and calculating.
5. Rudy Guliani: I admire his behavior during 9/11. I didn't ever live in the city so I don't know how he was as an administrator but he displayed all the qualities I would look for in a leader to feel confident and reassured during such a horrible time--God forbid we should ever have anything like that again!
6. Edward Kennedy: Okay, it's time to retire!
7. Tony Blair: calm and steadfast in the face of an unpopular war his country's become embroiled in. However, he is much more flexible than our president!
8. Kim Jong Il: I think this guy's more dangerous than Saddam Hussein was, why aren't we worried about him?
9. Umar al-Hasan Ahmad al-Bashir : This is a dangerous man too! Yes, there are sanctions against The Republic of Sudan but this man is horrible, on the same level as Adolf Hitler as far as I'm concerned!
10. Mahatma Ghandi: Okay, I know he is no longer alive but he was truly a person to admire and emulate. Why aren't there more people like him in the world?
Posted by Cassie at May 1, 2007 01:07 PM | TrackBackI am not very much in politics, just keep myself informed. The only thing I can say is that Bush has become the laughter of at least whole Europe. Nobody takes him serious anymore and he has become a sort of clown because each time he opens his mouth he says stupidities (I only repeat what I hear around me) Hilary Clinton is very much appreciated and everybody over here hopes that she will be elected. She is so well know by our politicians. How she is inside your country I don't know of course. I didn't even know that Ted Kennedy is still active ! I remember when he stayed in 1969 here in Brussels in the Hilton Hotel and he and his wife were drunken every evening. They even smashed a door.
