Barack Obama's the only one I know and like. Hilary Clinton...well, sure, the first ever female President could be cool but....I don't trust that woman.....= =

All in all, so long Bush goes away and someone with at least twice the amount of sense he has, then I'll be happier....not happy - but happier. *sigh*

It's a little unfair I think that the American president is only chosen by the citizens in the States - most of which DON'T vote which fumes me more. Considering that whoever becomes the president of USA is basically the world power, I'd like to see a lot more people in the States to take a much deeper thought and sense of responsibility in voting for their leader aka. leader who influence everybody else around the globe. >_> (or maybe if America stops taking too much interest towards other countries and start eliminating problems of their own ie. 1. high crime rate 2. low education level 3. poverty then I wouldn't care who gets voted - ack. *zips mouth* Don't mind me. Just ranting. No political correctness whatsoever)

Though..........these days, sometimes either party makes no difference, which might be the reason why people really don't feel like voting. Like the Australian Federal election coming up by the end of this year. There's Howard and then there's Rudd. Howard I'm just sick and tired already. As for Rudd, errr....I don't know. Labour's been having inner quarrels and shooting themselves in the foot these days yet unfortunately, despite living in a "free" country that provides us the right to "choose", we can only choose between two political parties to govern our lives for the next 3 years (4 in the US) *sigh*

*end rant*

Errr...to really answer your question, just Barack Obama. Hilary I know but don't trust. The rest, never heard of them. Not really into politics.
