Wouldn't it be great to live in a country where your president could and actually would climb onto a neighbor's roof during a storm to help out? It would never happen in North America.
He looks like a good guy to invite over for a cold beer as well. His family is in the wine business so it would probably be the other way around, we would get invited for a glass of wine.
I just did a little research on this man. He has quite a colorful history including being shot six times and imprisoned in the bottom of a well for two years by a previous right wing government of Uruguay. He is the descendant of impoverished immigrants who made their way from Italy and was inspired by the newly formed Tupamaros movement, an armed political group inspired by the Cuban Revolution. After the democracy movement in his country, he rose through the leftist coalition government and ran for president in 2010.
Agreed. What a guy that El Presidente' is!
ReplyDeleteYes - we need a President here in the U.S. with a mug like that (Jesse Ventura maybe ;) ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can actually see Jesse climbing up on a roof to help!
DeleteHmmmm.... I'm still trying to decide if I want a President or Prime Minister up on my roof. Definitely not Stephen Harper!
ReplyDeleteWell, certainly not Harper. He would probably try to steal something up there! Obama would be OK, maybe he would bring some White House beer!
DeleteCool story! Sounds like a neat guy.
