what kind of idiots would vote a boxer as president...

[Ivansmamma]

Politicans are so corrupt that any type of outside choice is a good choice.

Depends. In the next 20-25 years if Pacquiao can actually show leadership, results, and be able to grasp the issues instead of just throwing money at it like the incumbents have done in Saranggani---he might have chance to show real presidential material in the decades to come.

he's not gonna run for president. im sure of it. his "political allies" are just using him to get good press. of course, a lot of things can happen in 20-30 years. but right now, its not feasible.

arnold has a economics degree tho......

I would have to talk to Pacquiao to see how much (or little) he knows about the policies. I don't want to pre-judge.

I know that the Philippines have some challenges. And like all developing countries, is in need of insightful leadership. Does Pac know about The World Bank? IMF? Debt? Building an infrastructure? What does Pac think about North korea?

I admit that whenever I hear about one of these moves, i get a bit nervous. It is rare that someone who spent so much time in sports has developed a thoughtful understanding of global/regional policies.

But Pac has passion, and cares for his country. That counts for A LOT!!

Of course, he ain't the "Great Communicator" like Reagan but if he shows promise in the decades to come who knows. I hope he takes advance public speaking classes. I've never been impressed with Arroyo's public speaking skills and I don't understand why she speaks English rather than Tagalog when she addresses the nation. What's up with that?

People are idiots all over the world. Bush, Reagan, Arnold, Jesse the Body Ventura, Sonny Bono.

This thread = FAIL

Is ***** well verse with foreign policies, military tactics...etc when he got elected as the President of the USA?

That's why elected president appoints secretaries and advisors to assist him in running the executive branch of the government.

tell me philippines aint ***n ****** no way they should let a 30 year old boxer become president just because he ko'd a few cats.......yeah politics and politicians are overratted but would you really let manny become president he dont even know anything about laws, taxes, etc....i think that part is blown up by the media here because philippines didnt even vote him to the 1st time and he was popular.....

i bet he wont even run unless his opponent agrees to a catchweight......

Exactly. They need to learn from a country that elects this guy as governor;

[Gutz]

Dood stop posting.. youre making your self look like a idiot.
