President Kofi Annan...?

Well, Ghanaian's polled appear to be so proud of what they believe Kofi Annan has achieved that they would vote him in as president in 2008. As proud as I am of him (for purely sentimental reasons), love him for the history he has made, the wonderful pictures he took (yes, I have a serious crush on uncle Kofi) and some of his gangsta moves - remember when he spoke out against the invasion of Iraq and the US government (He was an Ashanti man, afterall - born in Kumasi, if you need the proof)? OK, so he quickly remembered that he was head of the world's Diplomatic Body and tried to temper his comments, I know what he really meant.... but I digress...

Point is, for all of his historical and heroic significance, let us make sure that his politics work for Ghana before we go and elect him because he is a superstar. If we were to elect every Ghanaian that raised our profile, then Michael Essien would be our deputy. No need for that.... and when did Annan's hair go from salt and pepper to white??! Must be Bolton and his crew...
