Fortune Magazine Names Mich. Gov. Snyder Among World's Most Disappointing Leaders

Source: WEYI

CLIO, Mich. (WEYI) - Fortune magazine released a list Thursday entitled "The World's 19 Most Disappointing Leaders."

The first person on that list is Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. The magazine gave him the dubious honor of the "Don't Blame Me, I'm Just The Governor Award."

Snyder received this "award," says Fortune, for his actions in the Flint water crisis, and for what it calls his attempts to shift blame away from himself.

Some of the others on the list are former head of FIFA Sepp Blatter, former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals Martin Shkreli, and former Volkswagon chairman Martin Winterkorn.

In order to be disappointed, you had to expect something good from him in the first place.

That was a jaw-dropper when he said it. What can I do? He's my uncle and I love him...he's all I have left of my Dad.

Too bad a bunch of innocent kids in Flint have to get poisoned before this mush-mouthed job exporter gets any bad publicity.

I partially blame the feckless Michigan Democratic Party. They have not had their shit together for decades. I believe they're getting it together now though. If you live in MI, support Lon Johnson! And keep an eye on Dan Kildee.
