Is there a leader/politcian that can unite this country?

Yes, I believe there is one politician out there. His Name is Barrack Obama and is the Freshman Senator from Illinois. He impressed me the first time I met this elloquent and well spoken man. He's intellegent, well spoken, doesn't like to insult anyone specifically, believes we all have to work together as one nation united if we're actually going to fix this thing we call Democracy. He's a mixed race politician who originally hails from Kansas but now lives and works for Illinois. \nHe's an interesting person...I suggest you look him up sometime.

There's no such thing.  The answer to this is in the eye of the beholder, besides they are equally divided over the country.

We can sure hope so. It's starting off pretty good. Our Nation needs to support unity and good thinking. Time will tell.

Go to the link below.  The only one missing is the United States, the leader of which at present (unfortunately) is George Bush.

I agree but I doubt that many of out countries leaders would today. Indeed, there seems to be many who actively seek to disenfranchise those who disagree by stating that people who disagree with a politician aid the enemy by their dissent. It seems abhorrent to believe I have to follow the illogical statements of such leaders today or be considered anti-American and serves to drive a wedge in society if you are not the right religion, the right color, have the right beliefs, or have to support a cause you disagree with. I think Thomas Jefferson was right, and is perhaps still right, but you will be disenfranchised and risk being accused of being anti-American today if you do not choose blindly to follow.

Yes, how can we be a country of the people if the people don't talk.  I might not agree with others but they should vote to make sure the people's will is being followed.  I like to think I am in the majority, but I do conceed I might not be.

The checks and balances of our governmental system will not allow them to do this unilaterally.  The can apply pressure and have more ability to control the debates on what will be done but they still do not have the 2/3 to 3/4 majority needed to do things by themselves, they will need Republican cooperation.

Yeah right. I really need someone like Susan Sarandon, Oprah, or Sean Penn to be in charge of foreign policy making decisions.  You are confusing opinions (which everyone has) with Political Science (which is very complex and difficult to master). ANYONE can act - not everyone has what it takes to be a leader. (Timothy Dalton for example - I could have played James Bond better than him!)

Hopefully someone other than a Republican or a Democrat. This poor country needs true change and neither of those groups are going to give it to us. Too bad that most still believe that the vote makes a difference, they are all working for the same main agenda, money not the people. Both and most parties are controlled by big business so it really doesn't much matter.

It would take a catastrophic event for that to happen. There are too many countries with too many leaders, all of whom would want to rule the world. It is a nice thought, but so is winning the lottery....

The USA, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand should all unite.

It sounds like you are an independent American capable of thinking and wanting what is right for the country. Now if we can just get our "leaders" to listen maybe we can fix this country.

I don't think it is advisable nor feasible that one leader over the entire world would be a good idea. While perhaps someone to regulate the sovereign countries may seem smart in all essence you have to remember the human factor. Once you give someone that much power it becomes harder and harder to regulate them and keep corruption out of the top ranking offices. Capitalism started out helping America, but has quickly turned fascist, because the human factor was left out of the equation. A single person in charge of the world I fear would be inviting trouble. While I wouldn't even recommend a committee to be in charge of the entire world it makes more sense than one person.

Hopefully at that point some US states will break away.  If not, i would suggest a less socialist country.  Maybe one with very few people.  The more people there are, the more government becomes oppressive and paternalistic.  New Zealand might be a good option.  But they may take immigration seriously.  And then we're screwed.
