    Question about Obama, why the hell do they call him the leader of the free world.

    He's only the president of the United States of America.

    What is the free world??? sounds to me like a cool inexpensive place to live

    Haven't the past few presidents all been referred to as the leader of the free world?

        I'm sure you must be joking with this question, but here is the succinct answer :

        Because of the U.S.'s prominent role in the Cold War, the President of the United States was often dubbed the "leader of the Free World", particularly within the United States itself. The phrase implies that the U.S. president, as leader of the principal democratic superpower, was by extension the leader of all the worlds’ democratic nations. Although it had a Cold War origin, it is still used to describe the U.S. Presidency today.[1]

            Even the America bashers have to acknowledge that whenever something bad happens... everyone looks to the United States for answers. We may not always do what everyone wants... but hey, when 6 billion people all want something different, pretty difficult to please everyone. :-)

              LOL. You may think that... hell I may even think that, but the fact remains, the world still looks to us. What else would you call that? We aren't "just" the United States... maybe in 10 years it will be different, but that's the way it's been for quite some time.

                They call him that because I refused the job, and they needed someone to do it.

                    I have never bashed america, only bashed their past leader... I just can't picture america as leader of the free world after the last 8 years.

                        I ain't bashing America I am asking a question, why are they calling him leader of the free world when our world it's pretty much fucked up with 2 wars going on.

                        Also I'ver never heard a Canadian talk about ANY US president as leader of the free world, even in our media.

                        So take a chill pill and ask yourself this question, is your current President leading a free world right now.

                        If you get on your high horses then I must of struck a lill never Eh!!!

                          I think the US has been synonymous with the leaders of the free world for some time now. Not sure how the reputation started but that's what I think of when I hear the expression.

                              No worries dude, I'm just shooting the shit and asked myself that question and thought it could be an interesting topic to post.

                              What is the Free World? And why is only the US president the leader of the free world... Shouldn't we have Leaders of the Free world?

                                  The Leader of the Free World is an expression, primarily used during the Cold War, to describe the President of the United States. The phrase implies that the U.S. president as leader of the principle democratic superpower of the time was, by extension, the leader of all the worlds? democratic nations. Although it had a Cold War origin, it is still used.[1] In addition, the phrase is sometimes used satirically when either the president or the United States engages in behavior that other nations disagree with.

                                              Because our country used to be the Golden Door.

                                              Now it is the land of entitlements and economic ruin.

                                                      LMAO pretty fucking pretentious don't you think as you are ONLY the United States of America and there's a whole lot of other countries on this planet.

                                                      You ain't the World and with America's Economic situation shouldn't we call the Us president Leader of a Broke World

                                                      Please no disrespect to any of my american I just thinks it's very silly to call the US president leader of the free world.
                                                      Well, when some other country steps up to take the role their PM, queen or whatever can be the leader of the free world. Until then, I guess we are stuck with the responsibility.

                                                            uh, i've always had WAY more hassles getting back into Canada from the US. Huge bs, and it is a constant pain in the ass. and i'm FROM Canada. but never had a single problem going to the US from Canada. anyway, love both countries in their different ways.

                                                              back to the topic:

                                                              i am a born and breed Canadian. i love this country, and as much as i will continue to travel the world for the rest of my life, i will ALWAYS call Canada home. having said that, it seems (imo) that well, duh, the US is the ONLY country (at least at this point), with the tech and nukes to destroy the entire world, on the western hemisphere. so of course the phrase makes some sense.

                                                              anyway, cheers JF.

This who bash America may not like that very much, but that is recognised by governments the world over. Because of that, he leads the free world. He doesnt lead the world as the countries that are not free tend to detest America and all it stands for. Hence him being the leader of the free world.

I would guess they have alot more than we do, given that their armed forces is much much bigger. Were better off being friend with the USA

The phrase implies that the U.S. president as leader of the principle democratic superpower of the time was, by extension, the leader of all the worlds? democratic nations. Although it had a Cold War origin, it is still used.[1] In addition, the phrase is sometimes used satirically when either the president or the United States engages in behavior that other nations disagree with.

It's all about American propaganda machine and making Americans think they are the best country of the entire democratic society within the western world.

                                                                                        Because of the U.S.'s prominent role in the Cold War, the President of the United States was often dubbed the "leader of the Free World", particularly within the United States itself. The phrase implies that the U.S. president, as leader of the principal democratic superpower, was by extension the leader of all the worlds? democratic nations. Although it had a Cold War origin, it is still used to describe the U.S. Presidency today.[1]

In fact, I watched a show about Homeland Security where this one lady was able to get into Canada with no problem, but she really wanted to come to the US. Besides, it's too cold in Canada.

Have you seen the amount of immigrants in Canada? and before you say thats just because they did not get into the states, you're wrong. I know many many immigrants in this country, my parents included who chose Canada over the US.
