What World Leader Remind You the Most of Yourself?

Postby Jacobin » Sat Apr 11, 2009 5:59 am

Since we are basically all political junkies (the reason d'etre for this forum), I was wondering if any real life political leader reminded you of yourself? If so, who?

There are three real life leaders I see a lot of similarities to myself, if not politically, then in temperament and character. The four leaders that remind me of myself, in order from greatest, onwards are:

1) Gordon Brown - Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (2007-); Chancellor of the Exchequer (1997-2007)
2) Stephane Dion - former Canadian Leader of the Opposition (2006-2009)
3) Richard M. Nixon - President of the United States (1969-1974)
4) Albert Gore - Vice-President of the United States (1993-2001)

Of the three, I am closest ideologically to Gordon Brown. He has been an inspiring figure for me. Many of his so-called "personality flaws" are ones I share as well. The fact someone like him can succeed in politics gives me hope for the future!

Lenin, for under great pressure he maintained the same values and led the first socialist revolution that its results lasted for many years to come, despite his death. Leaders like him can rule and spread their dream. I could go with Hitler, too, because damn that guy drove, willingly, Germany to its destruction.

I feel sympathy for them, nothing else. I can never associate myself with any politician. They are all wackos and corrupted either way, pretending to serve the needs of people. When you live in Greece, you learn that politics is all about hypocrisy.

I am more of the regular guys that walk around us and are the truly richest folks on the planet.

So, George, what you say is basically that Lenin reminds you of yourself because you are also a socialist, also like to lead revolutions, and are convinced that your dream will stay for years to come, and that Hitler reminds you of yourself because you'd also like to drive Germany into destruction?

You took my words very literally.

Lenin does remind me of myself because I am indeed a socialist deep inside and would like to think my inspirations will stay for many years to come. I am also greedy and extremely egoist when it comes to power so i guess that's where Hitler comes in. :P

That quote is really outdated.

When I think of my characters I'm reminded of Slobodan Milosevic. The parallels are obvious.
