Who would you like to see as President of the US of E?
Assuming Europe became a federal superstate and the Prez had political powers such as in America, who would you want as the first President?
My vote is for Tony Blair. Failing that anyone who isn't Greek, Italian, French, German, Austrian, Portuguese or Spanish.

Paiktis. It'd be funny to see how he'd handle everything.

Well a (much less powerful) presidency has been proposed - the leading contenders are Mr Blair of Britian and Mr Aznar of Spain.
Aznar would get my vote.

Not Tony Blair. He would make the whole Europe a pet of America, just like Britain is now. This would be no real improvement to the current situation and render the whole US of E idea braindead. Unfortunately, I can't offer an alternative. I don't know a single politician in Europe who I would trust for this office. May be paiktis would the best choice. Not that I'd expect any good from him, but at least he could give me a good laugh from time to time .

To be honest, I have hard time identifying any inspiring European leaders except for Blair.

No, he's too smart. If you want one with R. Reagan's IQ, choose Jean-Claude Van Dame instead.

That's kind of weird... I was only just in the European Parliament on Monday.
Not Blair. Blair's an idiot. In all fairness it ought to be someone German.

Any one who hates the French. It would help if he wasn't a socialist either.

Why would that be more fair than any other nationality?
I think the actor route is a good idea. And if it has to be a German, let it be Jurgen Prochnow.
