They can’t. UN SecGen cannot be from teh Security Council permanent member countries, Russia, US, France, Great Britain or China............

I thought Obama ‘had decided’ to take that position.
I guess the decision wasn’t his alone.
He may really be after heading up the International Monetary Fund.

[nickcarraway]

Was there a single shred of evidence that made you think that?

Just watch Obama will get some work at the UN ,Crazy Insane work

"Too bad, Obolo".

Obolo never can be United Nations Secretary-General, thank heavens.

The position is filled from nominees presented by the UN Security Council to the UN body for a vote.

The appointee may NOT be a citizen of any of the 5 permanent Security Council member countries....and the US is a permanent member.

There is unspoken rule in the UN that they don’t pick members of the permanent security council.

Luckily, we still have a few months to go for 0bama to ‘socialize’ some other aspect of our lives, with Congress’ BLESSING, no doubt.

*SPIT*
