world leaders

"I am President-Elect Enrique Peña Nieto.  Although I won the most recent Mexican national elections, held in July 2012, I will not be sworn in until December 1, just four weeks away."

"I am the king of Saudi Arabia, as well as it's Prime Minister.  I am known as Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud.  I ascended to the throne on August 1, 2005.  I have had 13 wives, and I have fathered at least 35 children.  I am worth about 21 billion dollars."

"I'm Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany since 2005.  Forbes Magazine recently ranked me the fourth most powerful person in the world.  Maybe the fact that I am the de facto leader of the European Union has something to do with that."

"We're Prime Minister Bejamin Netanyahu, and President Shimon Peres.  We run the nation of Israel, and we have been in power since 2007 and 2009, respectively."  

"I am Hu Jintao.  I am the President of the People's Republic of China, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission of China.  Since I assumed office in 2002, China's steady economic growth has established my country as a major world power."





"I am Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran since 2005.  I worry the United States - and a lot of other countries, especially Israel - because I am actively supporting Iran's nuclear program.  I always claim that we are just building plants for nuclear energy, by many others suspect I am trying to build a nuclear bomb."


"I am Hamad Karzai, and I have been President of Afghanistan since December 7, 2004.  I replaced a regime that had been run by the Taliban.  If you don't think I have a dangerous job, consider that I have survived at least four assassination attempts since taking office."

"I am François Hollande, and on May 6 of this year I won the French presidential election, defeating Nicolas Sarkozy and three other candidates, and I was sworn in nine days later.  I am also the head of the French Socialist party."

"I am Pranab Mukherjee, and I have been President of India since July of this year, when I won my election by trouncing my opponent, winning 70 percent of the vote.  I used to teach a political science course in an Indian college, and I have also written five books."  

"I am Hugo Chavez, I have been President of Venezuela since 1999, I am unashamed to be leading my country in a Socialist direction, and I am one of the most controversial leaders in the world.  I have recently been treated for colon cancer, and although I have declared myself to be cured, some of my opponents claim I said that just to help my re-election campaign."  

"I'm David Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since my election in May of 2010.  I am the leader of the Conservative Party, and a graduate of the prestigious Oxford University, with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics."

"I am Queen Elizabeth II of England.  I have been Queen for over 60 years.  I have been in power for longer than everybody else on this list combined.  Long live the Queen!" 

"I am Dilma Rousseff, President of Brazil.  I am the first woman to ever be elected President of my country, and I have been in office since 2011.  I am also the first economist to be elected President of Brazil."    

"I am Barack Obama, President of the United States, and I approve this blog."
