The President: a rethink

Clint Eastwood
Arnold Schwarzenegger, according to Newsweek, is being advised to run for the EU Presidency. His chief of staff is reported to have said  'In the next few years, the EU will be looking for a much more high-profile president -somebody who can unify Europe.'

Well, you can see the problem immediately, can't you? He sounds too German, and the smaller nations just aren't going to have it.







H van Rompuy
A far better candidate would be Clint Eastwood. You can just imagine him spitting out his cigar and saying throatily

'What the hell's Europe?'

Well, it's a question we are going to have to answer sooner or later.
