Protyvsikh Tells His Campaign Financing Story

This guy has a sense of humor to vote for!



Presidential candidate Vasyl Protyvsikh: Money help came from, first of all, my friends, who are scattered all over the world, the rich ones. Yesterday, this pal of mine calls me from Chicago and says, “What can I do to help you? How can it be done?” (He’s been living there for 15 years; his wife is a professor at a Chicago medical university.) My relatives, my fellow villagers...


In other words, he’s telling us that the money comes from his own village and from Ukrainian Village?

Or maybe it comes from the guys who sang the “Ukrainian Bell Carol” in ER Season 2, Episode 10?

I may be stupid but it doesn't make a lot sense to me. So I wouldn' vote for him. A few years ago Hungary was in a "desperate" (they didn't know how deep a hole can be) situation and in the chaos there were crazy ideas like to invite a foreigner as Prime Minister who have proven his abilities. Has it occured in Ukraine?

Gabriela,

I'd only vote for his sense of humor.

He has a tremendous sense of humor telling his jokes with a straight face like that!:)


Ropi,

Voting for this guy (as opposed to voting “against all”) = not voting at all.

Import-a-foreign-leader ideas can be heard in Ukraine too. There’s one big problem with these best practice ideas: Good leaders lead their own countries and mislead others.

We need our own good leaders.

Well I would disagree with that. Hungary had mainly foreign kings and some of them were good.
