Great president or greatest?
Somebody who succeeds by taking no high profile and never showing his POV yet always looks serious. In a strange way I think he will do better as a European president then he did as ruler of our country (nothing).
I regret tough he wasn't elected by vote.
he should open with "Delegates, Members of Parliament, ladies and gentlemen, peoples of Europe. Let me begin by stating I am not Tony Blair. I hope to continue not to be Tony Blair, and I assume this dignity with the firm intent, to work with you, on behalf of Europe and the world, in creating a European Union based upon the principles of freedom, justice, community, and the absence of Tony Blair. Thank you"
"Somebody who succeeds by taking no high profile and never showing his POV yet always looks serious."
Yet another low-profile, German/Franco brownnoser in a high EU position. Everyone, rejoice! The only capable candidate was Blair. All the other candidates lack an impressive political portfolio/ character to be a true European president.
I say we recognize the soveriegnity of the EU and then go grab the furniture in the former embassies of european "states"

@bief:
there was a lot of resistance against Blair. Notice how the "president of europe" is expected to solve many difficult frictions without having much real power. Its more a propaganda tool then a real function. Other people hold the power, its mostly just a face.
An internal propoganda tool then? 
Thank God its not blair.. the last thing we need is bushys ex puppet as EU president.
I prefer someone with no real profile by far over someone with an impressively [moo] up profile..
I mean WTF.. how can we even think about making a Brit EU president?
it just makes no sence to take a eu president from a country which is the most anti eu in the eu.
you don't directly elect the people who tax you?
So we should stop EU "taxes" then?
Yes. Only if national taxes go down sufficiently, I'm for a European tax system. (with less taxes in total)
But I was referring to the election part.
