What figure do you "follow"

You read the news articles about him/her? You pay attention when their name comes up on the News broadcasts?

It doesn't have to be one that you like, or don't like? Just that you listen a little more when you hear their name.

My own personal opinion of politicians is they are all crooks. Their only interest, no matter what they say, is making sure they have a job for the next 2, 4, 6 or even 8 years. That is where their interests lie, nothing more.

But to answer my own question, for me:

It's Vice President Dick Cheney. Probably, it is because I shook his hand when was Secretary of Defense, and he visited the USS Eisenhower, in 1990 during Operation Desert Shield, at the start of the first gulf war. I shook his hand and stood 20 feet from him when he addressed the crew.

Who is it for you?
