People love to hate on her because she's hot and rich. Sour grapes. I see her for what she is, a young, rich, famous party girl. I doubt she's any less ready to lead the US than BHO is. All i can say is she can be my President anytime she wishes to.

Ken Lee, Istambul, Turkey

As BADLY as I hate to say this, I am afraid Ms. Hilton is about as good of a choice as either of the two talking heads that are running. I doubt she "wrote" her dialog for the video, but then the other two running have "writers" too - in fact they need more and better writers from what I hear.

Natalie Baugh, Beaumont, Texas, US

The Hilton ad was produced & written by Obama supporters C. Henchy & Adam McKay. It was meant to scam mainstream America. The energy solutions expoused by Hilton are merely a regurgitation of McCain's energy plan--not to mention President Bush's. Sorry world--Paris is NOT America's second Messiah.

Cathy Hansen, ruckersville, Virginia, USA

Has everyone forgotten that one has to 35 to be THE PREZ? Seems like a major stumbling block to this campaign! However, at this point almost ANYTHING appears to be better than Mr. Pollyanna or Mr Older-Than-Dirt. And she is HOT!!!

Larry Goulet, Reading, MA, USA

Quite amusing though its clearly not her idea. One would hope it would deter the negative campaigning of late. Shahid ... spot on... hilarious!

James, Hong Kong,

Is it just me, or did Paris Hilton just make real sense with the energy policy? Why wouldn't that work????

Eric, New York, USA

Wow!!! You people actually think this was "her" energy plan? The fact that she is even included in the election is frightening! People around the world have to be laughing at us. Paris for President? I think NOT NOT NOT!!! Shame on you if you spend a penny on a stupid t-shirt to endorse her!

Tiffany, California, United States of America

Now I can see why Paris Hilton is a celebrity. Even John McCain should see the funny side of it.

Paul Francis, Brisbane, Australia

Well I'm pretty sure she is not gonna start a war for oil and world domination, so why not?

Nik, Philadelphia, USA

Finally, something useful from Miss Hilton!

Farrukh, Woking,

I'm sure that McCain isn't winning himself any fans by inflicting such a personal attack on Obama and on Paris who is pretty much a useless celebrity BUT she hasn't done anything to hurt anyone. I don't really like Paris but good on her for kind of standing up for herself

Gemma, London,

Normally I ignore PH, but this was TOO FUNNY! And she was right on with her plan. Both JM & BO should feel pretty stupid all around.

Danielle, Hubbard, USA

i never liked her until right now.

whoever wrote that is pretty damn funny.

helga, new york,

That last paragraph is so cynical. Perfectly constructed.

Peter, Santa Barbara,

Draft her here! Go Pink.

Key Reds, Los Angeles, USA

It is fairly funny – there is something I thought I would never say about Paris Hilton.

McCain should really avoid this ‘Obama just a celebrity’ thing.

Stalin would be internationally popular right now if he were running against the Republicans.

Luke, London, UK

HAHAHAHA
shes doing a nelson mandela
get out of jail
then lead the country

Jessica, Melbourne, Australia

If Paris could run for office, then large numbers of Americans probably would vote for her. (Un)fortunately, Article II Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States says you can't be President until you are at least 35 years old. So no "Pink House", then ...

Adrian, London, UK

Arnold is a great great governor......
Why Paris should'nt be a good President?

edoardo chioni, Rome, ITALY

I hope the Labour party has seen this, as I think this could be the answer to their next leader problem.

Give Paris a UK Passport, just like we do for the cricketers when we are getting beat, make her head of the Labour Party.

What chance has David Cameron now. I like the idea of a pink No 10.

Stuart, York, UK

she is bound to be better than Bush.She might lure Osama out of his cave.

shahid , Peshawar, Pakistan

Bah, Paris wont be worse Obama or Mc Cain, sure...

Michel Xima, Aix en Provence, France

But, will she ever admit to being 35?

Mike, NJ, US

i thought that it was great and judging by some of the reactions particularly from across the pond they have answered that age old question. "where would we be without humour" in this case clearly the USA. it WAS funny but possibly too near the truth for he who walks on water and the old dude!!

Ron oliver, Edinburgh, Scotland

Does anyone in the PR world know how much Conde-Nast Traveller paid Paris to shoot this spoof?

Pete, London, UK

Paris is totally hot, and totally cool...

Alastair, Alicante, Spain

I wonder which British celebrity would end up offering pearls of wisdom during the UK General Election in 18 months' time to spice up the Brown-Cameron battle.

Amy Winehouse, perhaps?

Sean, Surrey, UK

Has anyone else noticed that Paris may well have solved the energy crisis? Pay attention Messrs Obama and McCain, the hot blonde heiress may not be as empty as you think!

Ben Adamson, Manchester, UK

You heard (herd)it here first...Prez Bush made her do it.!!!...hahaha....

Mr Tim, san marcos, U S of A

It is quite sad when people have more faith in paris than those running for presidency.
Politics at its finest.

Alycia , Melbourne, Australia

I'm not an American, but if Paris Hilton ran for office, I'd apply for citizenship just so I could vote...

ANJ, Ontario, Canada

Although I really could care less about Paris Hilton, I see she has had a lucid moment! Good for her! Her idea wasn't so off course either.

Addie, Staten Island, USA

Who is Paris Hilton?

Richard, Annapolis, USA

Bumbling, you say? It's probably a better energy plan than either the US or UK has right now. It's a great video and she nailed it. She sells herself short with her "dumb blonde" act. I imagine there will be some write-in votes for Paris this November.

Barbara, Baltimore, MD, USA

Paris for President - leader of the Party Party!
Couldn't be any worse than that bumbling fool Bush.

celia dymond, melbounrne, Australia

Good job Paris

Charles, Houston, TX, USA

she's much better than Gordon Brown.....

Robert, Chappaqua, New York

This silly ad will hurt the 'chosen one' more than McCain. Paris "is more intelligent than her tabloid persona lets on"......you could have fooled me!

Viv, London, England

Can't normally stand that woman because of her ditziness but this is actually hilarious!

Reena, Birmingham, UK

To bad she's not 35.

Ida Nailer, LA,

Just a good idea. Really is.

Michael, Pilsen,

McCain and Obama should be afraid, very afraid. If she did stand she'd take the youth vote hands down and a lot of other voters would vote for her just to teach the professional politicians a lesson. If I was American I'd definitely vote for her.

Stephen, St. Ives, England

well can't be worse than mr bush....

Lorenzo, London,

Paris Hilton for President! This is priceless. Love it.

Wendy, Atlanta, USA

At last a candidate we here in the States can believe in - and write in with total confidence (thanks to her credible energy proposal) that she will be at least as competent as her predecessor. Paris is right for a nation that gets its most reliable news report via Jon Stewart's Daily Show. - Tom

Tom McClellan, Dallas , USA

On the contrary, Paris has shown beyond contradiction that she has not only intelligence but good humour, something the professional pols lack.

She has my vote even if it has to be a write-in.

Those other candidates are pawn for greedy, lying controllers of the two front-men.

Horst Kirchner, New York City, USA

That was the worst comeback in the history of man.. Such a beautiful little girl, but not one brain in her head. Someday she will be working at a Wal-mart

Charlie, st petersburg,

Paris Hilton. Fine,..... until she opens her mouth.

Tony Pritchard, Cancun, Mexico

This is great - excellent satire.

Perhaps they should have compared Obama to one of those manufactured pop groups that are pieced together by Simon Cowell and driven by marketing?

Andrew, Cape Town,

This from a nation who are still paranoed over 9/11 I wish they would look at the whole world that they are suposed to lead and be an example to all nations ( tongue very much in cheek)
In the 21st century why can't the 'American Dream' extend to all nations as a global phenominam? good luck Obama!

Dave Farmer, Broxbourne, England

Go Paris!!!

Mo, Essex, UK

Where can I get my "Paris for Pres" bumper sticker. Go girl. This actually made me laugh and was impressed by her energy plan. Which is really a "duh" that the politicians in the country don't get. But Paris and the rest of us get it. Write in Paris, she'd do better than the rest.

Jules, Fruitland, USA
