Well, outsider too.
And like Kraco, I'd prefer a US president to be a little more aware of the world outside the US.
Sadly enough, I do not have much of an idea of the political context of the USA, nor I have of the people view.
I guess that the elders will have the president they like, as it has been stated in this thread before. That's also what happens in France, and we had Sarkozy... which is not the friendly prez the Frogs think he is... well we'll have him for 5 years.

Oh, and for socialism... it's almost dead here, mainly thanks to François Mitterand, a "socialist" president that led france from 1981 to 1995. He slashed most of the social greatness of France, or contributed to destroy the harmony in many systems so that they fail... Now we get the fruits...

So be careful of the prez you elect, cause they can do anything when they have power.
