Guys, this is a popularity contest! Vote for the people you like and post a comment why you like them!!

Obama

Bush and Howard: views aren't compatible with mine. I consider myself centre-left they come across as rightist.

H. Clinton - Just don't like her (this is a popularity contest after all).

Between Obama and Rudd I think Obama will have a more global influence - apologizing is a fine gesture but not more than that. Obama has had and will have a more powerful effect on racial perceptions.

This part of the forum is for Off-Topic stuff, politics etc, it's not for pointless spam.

Wouldn't it be smarter to make the poll a 1-choice option thing, so each member can only select one person?

Barack Obama because he is young, charming and seems genuine. He reminds me of Tony Blair from the mid nineties.

Has someone got a crush?

Its not a crush, its love

Who are those 4 idiots who voted for George W. Bush?

Rudd FTW! NBN, National Apology, fixing Health Care..

What Au needs

John Howard, great leader, whereas kevin rudd is just a tosser who doesnt have the slightest idea about running a country.

Apology for what? I aint sorry for nothing.

I abstained my vote so I could hold it for Jobs!

Free iPhones for everyone! Who needs a military?

You give me a button and I'll press it

Even if that starts a nuclear war?

Who cares about what Aus needs? We have more people in one city than your entire country

Now there are 6

Steve Jobs just got added!


I doubt you have 23million people in one city. I went to manhattan 2 weeks ago and it was basically like sydney at 9:30am

You can't add candidates when the election is already in progress

And see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban...s_by_population the Tokyo area has 30 million people in it.

Lol. Ur from India not Japan. And Tokyo has 30mil people bcuz they live on top of each other.

That must be interesting ;)


I was just kidding BTW. But the point is Rudd's influence is limited to Australia most of the rest of the world hasn't heard about him and he isn't in Obama's league - one local politico here has already calling himself the Indian Obama!

LOL obama is like pauline hanson. BTW if you dont know who that is google it

rudd has no influence, he's a fool. ANd yes, Reflection, india has huge cities, sao paulo city is huge as well, australia is barely populated

I can't believe George W. Bush gets as many votes as Hillary Clinton and almost half the votes Obama does.
I suppose if the US Constitution didn't forbid it, he would stand a good chance of being elected for the third time!

Thank God he didn't figure out a way to ignore that part of the Constitution too. I'm not sure how much more of his "legacy of peace" I can stand!

Thank God for Constitutional Amendments!

I'm glad Bush couldn't see a way around that.

I know I am more than a bit late...

I know who Pauline Hanson I tend to keep a list of racist xenophobes to avoid And I don't get how Obama is like her. Care to explain?

You're kidding.
You must be

WTF? Obama i understand But why the Hell is Bush more popular then Howard is and will always be a great leader.

Obama. Congratulation on your new president America, he'll be something!

FDR ruined that though XD. Yay for the 22nd amendment

I choose Obama because he's inspiring and, in contrast to Bush, a very good leader I think (hope:P).

No Steven Colbert? I'd vote for him.

I like Obama, I really do. But, I don't like the idea of a national healthcare system. For some things in medical it works, but it really has its drawbacks too.

Bush, is stupid. Lawlz

Hillary, I think she has good ideas, but she'd be attacked as a Clinton.

Howard or Rudd, I really have nothing to say about either of them.

Jobs, he's just rich. I'd vote for him if I were paid to maybe.

Screw all those losers, except maybe Steve could be deserving a little credit....


Where is RON PAUL ????
AKA the single last hope for America in the 2008 elections, who was shut out by the media mind control monopoly.

Screw Hilary, don't like her attitude. Too overconfident, and I doubt she would have the humility to admit a mistake, which is something all presidents sometimes make.

Obama is a great speaker, and he seems intelligent and forward thinking, but I have yet to see him in action. I have high hopes though.

Bush. God NO. May as well put Sarah Palin for a great example of Texan stereotypes. (Her bloody yearbook has her dressed up as a cowboy holding a 12 gauge. And she wants to run for presidency. WTF)

Have to agree with vbetts on Howard and Rudd. Really don't know enough about them first hand.

Jobs. No way.

The entire economy would revert to being government owned, and he would redesign everything to be curvy, touch operated, and white. I don't want a curvy, touch operated white bed thank you. Nor do I want a curvy touch operated toothpaste, or a teacup. etc. etc.
