He's a "conservative", but then when you read about the ideals of him and his party .. they make the Democratic party look like fascists. In other words they practice true and sane conservatism that believes in actual liberty and humanism .. not the insanity that the tea party pushes.

It would if American voters were not idiots. The elected officials in the US are good representatives of the voting public, fat greedy narcissistic pigs.

Wish this sort of thing would happen in American politics.

As usual, when an extremist wingnut accuses someone of doing something, it's because they're doing it themselves...

More like Apathetic. We've had it good for too long. It doesn't help with congress plies us with "free" things.

And we ignore when they do things we know aren't right. We never once asked them how they were paying for these massive programs. We didn't care. As long as the gravy train was running we chose to remain ignorant and keep re-electing these people. Many of them have been in office for decades. If I remember right the current majority leader has been in congress for around 25 years. Something is VERY wrong with that. We have precisely the government representation we deserve.

he's the president of the country, shovelling snow.

name the last time even a congressman shovelled snow on his own in the US, let alone the president.

Thank you count. This certainly isn't the digg of old. Digg is now inundated with the . . .well. . .let's just say, one g short of a digg.

I suggest you ignore @cyberdactyl. He obviously isn't bright enough to catch this brilliant witticism. I laughed, thank you for that.

The amazing thing is, there is nothing unique about that. I hear exactly the same thing in Canada and in Europe. For all you want to believe things are different, it's really not, people are sheep all over.

This does happen in america, but instead of snow, it's cash...

You have go there to really see the differences in their society from average america. They aren't a material and services based type of society.

I've been to around 35 countries on four continents.......including many of them in Europe. I've lived in 3 countries on 3 different continents.

Just because an area has their own turf and flag doesn't mean that they're the same. Case in point Nauru or San Marino.

A few things are worth pointing out. He was elected THE DAY BEFORE. He isn't the president and he hasn't been sworn into office. You're assuming he'll be shoveling his own snow next year at this time. I seriously doubt it......

Finland has about the same population as Colorado. It's larger than Colorado by about 20%. Colorado has a larger economy by about 40%. It also snows a lot.

So, if some guy had been elected to be the governor of Colorado yesterday, I wouldn't be shocked at all if he were shoveling his own driveway the next morning.

He doesn't have a swarm of secret service agents hovering around him?

Why are you laughing in the middle of your sentence? That makes no sense.
