Theme Week, Part Cycling

Jeremy Is In The Office Proudly Presents
US Olympian or Foreign Head of State Week!  

Day 3:  Dilma Rousseff


Olympic competition has captivated us for a third day, as we ask the question, "Is this person a 2016 US Olympian, or the Head of State for another country?"  


So, yesterday we continued our Theme Week with what should have been an easy choice in Justin Trudeau, as he was in the news not all that long ago.  

Not for competing in the Olympics, of course, but for being elected the new Prime Minister of Canada.  The Liberal Party had a remarkably successful election on October 19th of 2015, and the incoming wave of party members secured the Prime Minister position for Mr. Trudeau.  The Liberal Party won 184 seats of the 338-seat Canadian House of Commons, a net gain of 148 seats from their previous representation.  Trudeau took over as Prime Minister on November 4, 2015, replacing Conservative Party member Stephen Harper, who had been in the position since 2006.  

Justin Trudeau, no doubt, is a fan of Team Canada in the Olympics and is undoubtedly proud of the five medals they have won up to this point.  These include the Bronze medal in women's Rugby Sevens, which Canada won in rousing fashion, defeating Great Britain by a lopsided score of 33-10.  

Today, we move on to Dilma Rouseff.  Will Dilma be playing for Gold as a member of Team USA, or rooting on another team from high office?
