4 November 2012. RIA-Novosti Infographics. The Five Steps One Needs to Do to Become the President of the USA

______________________________

On 6 November, the USA will hold its 57th presidential election, to determine who’ll be at the helm of the country for the next four years. The main contenders are Republican candidate Mitt Romney and current American President Barack Obama, a Democrat. According to recent polls, most Americans believe that Barack Obama will win the election, to be re-elected for a second term. About 54 percent of Americans think that the Democratic candidate will win, whilst only 34 percent expressed confidence in a Republican victory. Meanwhile, a survey conducted among residents of the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway, showed that 90 percent of Europeans wish to see an Obama victory. None of the seven countries, Republican Mitt Romney didn’t get even 10 percent support in any of these seven European countries. Joe Twyman, the head of the political and social research organisation YouGov said, “Without a doubt, many Americans don’t particularly care what Europeans think about their candidates, but on the other hand, history shows that if the president isn’t popular in Europe, it has far-reaching consequences for European attitudes to the USA as a whole”.

And give me some hope
For one more day.

Kim Larsen’s a free spirit, a merry and unrepentant non-conformist. He’s still a happy hippy, in the best sense of the word. He’s stood tall for the underdog, and that puts him high on my list. Give me the Kim Larsens of this world… as for the purse-lipped, tight-arsed, and closed-minded, the less said the better…
