I was really surprised to find the world's 'leaders' so down and out. C'mon people! You're leaders! That means that you're supposed to have your chin up and be confident that we're going to get out of this mess without 'faith-based' initiatives and 'unilateral' imperialism.

That and the fact that even China admits that 3/4th's of it's population will never be able to afford McDonalds.
