Plastic Presidents

The US is electing a President
Russia will be losing an able President

All this presidential hoopla makes matters a trifle Funny on the outside(what with me being a Muted spectator living in India). Once a president makes it to the top post its more like he is greater than God. he is in a Shield where no being living or dead can harm him/her.
His word is Supreme and he can do as he likes with the rest of the world.
And of course all that comes with a Plastic smile which has a headliner of saving the world or some such crap.

The Reality however is startling to say the least. The US is currently crawling due to recession & need a president to revive the Sagging fortunes.
so it currently is like picking up a set of lingerie which can hold its selves togather.

Russians have their Best set of Lingerie after the cold war years. Putin has done what America would've never expected of him.
Europe could never expect a Resurgent Russia. Putin has held through thick and thin.
Well in the circumstances it appears he is the best thing that could happened to Russia at that time.
While the UK might be eager for his exit. It remains to be seen if Putin extends his term or gets some one able like him.
The Europeans and the Americans will be watching with close interest.

These days US Elections are the Biggest TURN OFF for me. Pick any damn news magazine and Covers sport the plastic smiles of the candidates.

In Fact the Pakistani Elections are more Funny Scandalous Dangerous and ensure continued interest for the avid politico.
