Yeah, let's compare the president of the most powerful country with 300M+ people with a president from a country who's total GDP is less than some of our billionaires. Makes a lot of sense.

Can we please stop the USA hating around here?

Can you point me to an American with more than $265.911 billion?

I was going off of this: http://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&#...

Where did you get $265.911B?

I confused your parent with another comment just above it comparing Norway and USA, and the GDP figure was for Norway. Sorry about that, too late to edit my original comment now.

Don't be silly. It's not USA hating. It's pointing out the good examples of how to run a country. It's pointing out the role models that the US could try to emulate.

Okay maybe just pick and choose bits to emulate. But comparisons for the purpose of constructive criticism is not equivalent to hate.
