leader of the free world

Just watched a 7 minute video of Hillary Rodham Clinton's victory speech, as she is returned as the Senator for New York once again. Have to say, if it was just based on that, I'd likely vote for her. Of course, we'd have to see what she'd actually do in office. But I suspect that with her as the President of the United States I might object less when Americans refer to their President as "the Leader of the Free World". Roll on 2008.
