Don't Vote

I got an A (I mistakenly forgot to identify Madonna, and other obvious blunders). But I agree this test is a silly way to weed out who should and shouldn't vote in the upcoming election.
 
I got a C, but I already voted absentee. 😛

It was mostly because I mixed up Frist/Roberts/Snow, but what does it really matter if I know what they look like? I properly matched the name with title every time, regardless of whether or not I could match a name with a face. 🙄
 
I got an A, but I must admit that I only got some of them right by process of elimination. Oh well, an A is good enough for me...I feel confident that I know enough to vote 🙂
 
I got a "B" but am EU citizen and not voting in the US, hence not following national US politics very closely, so I thought it was ok. It would have been nice if they had included some questions about *issues*, not just faces. Some people are good with faces, others aren't.
 
I got a C — 76.86%.

In my (non-American) defense, every single one I got wrong were American men in suits that I had to guess. 😛 I think the ones I got right were the important ones, and I got all but one of the international ones (wrong name, right job).

Uh oh, C+ and I plan on voting this year. 😱

Same here, I got 78% though which in a Maths exam would get me a first 😛 , though I'm not an American so don't worry I can't damage your country, with not knowing who people are.

I got Paris Hilton wrong 😱 , clearly she's over air-brushed as I didn't recognise her. 😉
 
D. I don't care. 😛

I don't think I did too badly for a non-USAian. I got all the British and international folk right, it's just the pesky, more obscure American politicians who tripped me up. 😱
 
I got an A

Ban Ki-Moon messed me up. I don't really recall seeing him even though their neighbor, North Korea is in the news alot.

At least I am competent enough to vote!
 
A+ here too. The only one I even paused on was Nancy Pelosi because I also barely remember what Barbara Boxer looks like (I'm pretty sure I remember what Dianne Feinstein looks like, though...)
 
I'm definitely voting

It would be interesting to see what you lot would get on a European based quiz 🙂

Well there were a couple of foreign leaders in there. 😉

Got an A+, 350/350. I know my politics and my pop culture. 😀 But to be fair, the only reason I knew about Ki-moon was that I had just heard something about him, and know what the guy from Japan looks like. Thought he was Chinese though. 😱

Same with Harper, but he does look a lot like Baldwin (boy, he did get fat didn't he).

The only question I got wrong was the Ban Ki-moon question... still don't know who that person is. Got an A 🙂

Heh - I have an unfair advantage since my girlfriend works at the U.N. In fact, I was one of the first people on Earth to find out he was going to be the new Secretary General (on way to meet me she overheard in the hallways that the gavel had just fallen on the decision).

Next up: will Bolivia take the next rotating seat on the Security Council? (Guatemala and Venezuela were both lobbying but are both seen as having no chance to get the majority). I hope Bolivia gets it since even though I don't agree with a lot of Evo Morales' policies, I think it's remarkable that 500 long years after the invasion of America, a country in America finally has a Native American head of state....
 
A -

I missed Rush Limbaugh. I know he's a radio talk show host, but I didn't know what he looks like. How am I supposed to know what a radio talk show host looks like?

Because he's always on TV...especially these days with his Michael J. Fox impression.
 
I got a D+. I have no idea on some of the American ones. I got all of the pop culture ones right and all of the foreign leaders and things but as i have never even been to the states, that let me down
 
324/350 - A

I accidentally put that I didn't know who President Bush was when I clearly did, hit back to fix it after realizing how this worked, and that was worth 10... so in reality I got 334/350.
