President’s Day: The World’s Hottest Leaders

Photography & Photo Galleries — on February 16, 2009 10:25 am

Nicolas Sarkozy
President, France

Nicolas SarkozyThe hyperactive President of France is fairly well-known worldwide and only became more so after marrying singer/model Carla Bruni in February 2008.

Adamantly pro-American in a country that’s not known for it, as well as a first-generation Frenchman of Hungarian descent in a country not known for being particularly welcoming to immigrants, Nicolas Sarkozy is something of an oddball. Plus, his energetic style is certainly at odds with the French stereotype of ennui-filled chain-smokers lounging in cafes.

So do you have a favorite world leader? Is anyone missing from the list? Let us know in the comments.
