Let's swap leaders

OK. But you keep Bush, both of them! LOL. Now, there's a few more that we can send your way if you're in the mood!

I'll keep the Bushes, they pretty much mind their own business now that they are retired anyway. I want Geert Wilders from the Netherlands to come here.

LOL. There's a list of leaders that no one will want at all. They can all go with North Korea.

I think they need a bigger rocket then...lol.

Sounds like a plan to me. Obama's already had a visit to Canada to see how the land lies. LOL.

No, my mom and the queen actually have the same facial features. My mom claimed to be from the extended family. How true that is, I don't know. I suppose if someone did a genealogy. My mom came from a British/Irish background so anything is possible. Yep, the creepiness factor was pretty high.

Well, yes but not from the queen. However, my Irish ancestry was from one of the high kings of Ireland. Not to confuse you, I was adopted. I've had an interesting and unusual life.

I always used to think the same thing about my mum! However, it might be that they both are a similar age and liked perms. I think that many people are a little surprised at the hug. However, the Queen appeared to reciprocate. Maybe, like my Mum, she has mellowed in old age!

I'll trade you Obama for Daniel Hannon! What a great statesman!! It was so refreshing to see and hear someone tell it like it is with righteous indignation in an articulate, dignified manner. I loved his seething anger, his passion and the feeling that he would just love to clobber somebody!

I agree entirely. How on earth he got dumped out in Europe is anyone's guess. If all his oratory is like his attack on Brown then he really should be the next leader of the Conservative Party. Do you know that the BBC didn't show that speech. They are very pro-Labour (the political party that is in power).

I can't imagine us ever wanting Blair back. But it would be an interesting experiment.

I think so. Until they try to implement their policies!

Group hug then. Milk and cookies all round.

And they only get credit for failed policies. Successful ones are usually credited to whoever came before. GAo figure! Hey....I want some milk and cookies too!

The second sounds like the best plan.

Perhaps Rune and Rizla could look after them, or give them to the Evil Count! LOL.

Very true Riyasam. I'll try to stick to odours in future!

LOL Only trouble is there are no viable options who would do a good job if they got the chance! xxxx

I think that de Gaulle was in his first term! LOL. I just want shot of the jokers that are supposed to be running ours. XXXX

Yes. Can I be in the lemonade and cookie party please Mom.

Yep. You can even go in the bouncer if you promise not to do backflips...

You are almost the first person on your side of thew Pond that I've seen write that since the election. There are some very right wing folk that hate, I think that's the right word, Obama, and support that view with the fact that he hasn't turned your economy round in the 60 odd days that he has been President. I do agree that popularity doesn't equal success in politics. You can have our Prime Minister though!

I don't want him!!! I think that people need to be patient with Obama. He has a huge job ahead of him to clean up the economic mess. He even said that it may not be fixed in his term of office but he will do the best he can. As someone that uses state assistance (which is no one's business) I have seen some great improvements in that area. My understanding is that here in PA, some laws were just passed that they are doing more thorough checks on people that are receiving the state benefits to make sure that they are going to people that really need it and that ARE citizens of the US. I think that is a GREAT step in the right direction. The application process is outrageous as it is, I can't imagine how much harder it will be when it's time to reapply. I think he just needs time. People will see that he is just trying to fix things the right way, not necessarily the fast way.

It is fantasy indeed Jean. There's no chance of it ever happening.

Then best left out. Thank you. LOL.

Would be funny wouldn't it.

You romantic Tamara! LOL. XXXX

I agree. Please someone take Brown and the rest of his morally (and possibly actually) corrupt henchmen and women.
