/end of rant and only post here on the subject
I don't think he's evil and I wouldnt compare him to Hitler.

He may really have good intentions, but this doesnt matter so much.

What really amazes me is that Americans tend to chose candidates who are rather simply minded and act before they think.

In other countries, it's actually an advantage when a candidate is an intellectual and is able to look at a situation from different perspectives and see it's complexity, while in the US they chose a president who uses simply language, shakes hands, tries to act cool and sees the world as "black and white".
