President Aquino, who has portrayed himself as a popular leader walking the straight path, was voted upon in an online survey that saw him as the world’s worst leader.
Two years in the presidential office and Aquino garnered the highest votes in a web-based poll for the World’s Worst Leaders.According to a website Rankopedia (rankopedia.com), the likes of Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, George Bush, Fidel Castro and even Mao Tse Tung are no match to the Philippine President who was voted by internet users from around the world as the “World’s Worst Leader.”
Aquino, who is only on his second year as Philippine President, notched the top spot in the list of the World’s Worst Leaders, garnering 63.54 points, followed by German Nazi fascist Adolf Hitler at far second with 43.50 points.
The list of the World’s Worst Leaders also had the incumbent President’s mother, Corazon Aquino, his predecessor, and his family’s mortal enemy in the 30,000-member strong Rankopedia roster.
With Noynoy Aquino on top, and Hitler in far second, the number three spot yielded one “Corazon Aquino of the Philippines” with 40.93 points, followed by George W. Bush with 26.93 points and Josef Stalin at the fifth spot with 25.60.
The list also includes Saddam Hussein with 24.48 (=), Kim Jong-il with 22.14 (=), Robert Mugabe with15.99 (=), Pol Pot with11.59 (+ 1), Benito Mussolini with 10.86 (- 1), Barack Obama with 8.66 (=), Fidel Castro with 6.95 (=), Vladimir Putin with 5.91 (+ 1), Francisco Franco with 5.74 (- 1) Chairman Mao Tse Tung with 5.27 (+ 1), Yasser Arafat with 5.03 (- 1), Gloria Macapagal Arroyo with 4.05 (=), Tony Blair with 3.31 (=), Hideki T?j? with 3.10 (=), Ferdinand Marcos with 2.98 (=), Idi Amin Dada Oumee with 2.96 (=), Bill Clinton with 2.43 (+ 1), Leopold II with 2.21 (- 1), Nicolae Ceausescu with 2.20 (+ 1) and completing the list is Silvio Berlusconi with 2.17 (+ 2).
The Rankopedia survey showing Aquino as being worse than his predecessor, Gloria Arroyo who is at number 17 and the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos at the 20th spot, is the result of the Web site’s latest online poll embarking on 620 online respondents from all over the world.
