10. Bush is a two-time winner.
But then again so was Adolf.

At least they didn't do something as lame as last year.

He's been in the news WAY WAY WAY more than Putin.

9. This is why we need Biden in the Whitehouse
Biden is the only one with proven diplomatic and "chessmaster" skills on the international stage that vcan deal with all of these rising problems.

14. Yeah, but nobody does it better than Putin
when it comes to ridiculing the boy-who-would-be-dictator in public:

BUSH: I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq, where there’s a free press and free religion. And I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia will do the same thing. I fully understand, however, that there will be a Russian-style democracy.

PUTIN: We certainly would not want to have same kind of democracy as they have in Iraq, quite honestly.
