Isn't it nice to see foreign citizens excited to have a U.S. leader coming to their country rather than figuring out new ways of burning his photo and scouting out locations to throw rocks from?
He is not a U.S. leader. He is a freshman senator.
Disingenuous and untrue, exactly how untrue depends on which definition of leader you wish to impute to Slick.
-Leader as part of the government/ruling class
We have 100 senators for 300 million people. I think that qualifies any of them as a "leader" of the country. Not to mention he is the favorite in the upcoming presidential election, won his party primary against an opponent who no one thought he could beat, and right now is the de facto head of the DNC.
-Leader as a person inspiring a large nation-wide following
Can anyone seriously question this?
What exactly is your criteria for being considered a leader, based on any definition?
