    José Mujica, President of Uruguay.

    He has been described as "the world's 'poorest' president", due to his austere lifestyle and the fact that he donates around 90 percent of his $12,000 (£7,500) monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs
    Mujica was captured by the authorities on four occasions, and he was among those political prisoners who escaped Punta Carretas Prison in 1971. He was eventually re-apprehended in 1972, and was shot by the police six times
    (He and his wife)
    ... have no children and live on an austere farm in the outskirts of Montevideo where they cultivate chrysanthemums as an economic activity, having declined to live in the opulent presidential palace or use its staff
    He is an atheist.

    His hate mongering and distortion of truth are world class as well.

    Cameron is a hate monger? As in David Cameron? As in, soft as dog crap, couldn't win a fight against a paralytic Stephen Hawking? Not sure about the distortion of truth bit, but surely he hasn't managed anything that could be construed as hate-mongering yet?

    You can tell a lot about a man by the cut of his jib.

    In Cameron's case it tells you he has quite a bit of money and a public school background.

    Gordon Brown should be airbrushed out of British history. If nobody mentions him, we might just forget that he ever existed.

The economy is also doing tremendously better (both in the U.S. and globally) as a result of his policy vision. This isn't a popular opinion, but the truth is seldom popular.
    You must not live in the US to even say Obama is doing a good job the guy is a mouthbreathing moron and is by far the worst president the US has ever had.Economy better your kidding right???People are getting their hours cut to below 30 hrs a week because of the shit stain called obamacare just stop posting because your a fucking idiot for even remotely thinking Obama is any good.
    You try and you fail,but the only true failure is when you quit trying.

    Obama. Because his every action trolls the American conservatives, even without any intent to do so.

    Looks like Obama needs to get some of Putin's image-makers in his crew

    On topic: neither.

    Even the Sophia mosque in Istanbul might be turned into an operating temple which shows how far off base the current turkish ambitious are.
    Do not generalize the actions of current government to entire population...Also if there are too much immigrants over there, it's time for you to reconsider your immigration policies may be?

    Ignoring the recent scandals, he has done excellent work for the Turkish economy through his policy vision.

    Here's what people forget: It's not money that makes an economy work, it's money moving around. When every town was filled with mom & pop stores, all the money stayed in the town. Bob ate breakfast at Mary's cafe, she used the money to buy eggs at Joe's grocery store, he used that money to buy a shirt at Rich's shop, and Rich used that money to help buy a fence, installed by Bob's construction company.
    When the big box stores came in, they didn't just push out the mom & pop stores. They also sucked all that money out of the town. All the money that people spent at Walmart was money that wasn't being spent in the town. It was all going to the Walmart corporation.
    A (relative) few number of people are basically hoarding all the money at this point. The 99% can't pull themselves up by their bootstraps anymore (like the 1% want them to) because the 1% have all the money. It takes money moving around to make an economy work, and the rich are hoarding all of it. This is the core reason why leadership is failing. I have yet to see any leader adress this issue.
