To be fair I see her point. She's not being self-congratulatory or anything, if anything it's the opposite since she's European. And even though I wouldn't go as far as to say tha the president of the USA is also the president of the world (o_0), his actions and decisions do affect the rest of the world in some ways.
For example, when the prez decides to stir shit up in the Middle East and then just never leave.
But I also agree that she's way overexaggerated that. It strikes me that Ann has a knack for sounding intelligent without doing any sort of research, and also a habit of posting essays without anything to back them up. Every time she does this, someone proves her wrong with actual facts.
Also: haha, you win, you should totally post those stats for her. There are better places to live in the world (coughCanadacouch ;)).
