President of Uruguay José Mujica (11 pics)

Good Guy Jose

woah there... If he keeps $1250 a month from his salary, he must be earning $15,000 per year and not $12,500, or he's not getting paid for 2 months of the year. And if he keeps $1250 from either $12,500, or $15,000 he isn't donating it.... Somebodies numbers are wrong.....!

@ Cooks:
or he has a $12,500 monthly salary, he only keeps $1,250 and donates $11,250

Cooks,
I think you missunderstood. They probably meant that he earns $12,500 a month not a year. I wonder what currency it is though.

Ese jose se ve qe es la mera bandota

I am from Uruguay. And this post talks about dollars. His actual salary is about 250.000 uruguayan pesos. He donates aproximately 90% to finance housing plans.

edit: And yes, monthly salary.
off-topic: His dog name is Manuela and she misses one leg.

He sure loves his country so much.

Good man. Lets see if Cristina Kirchner or any other politic learn from him.

Uruguay is a small country. But is it correct a president of a country have so bad house? This is not about he, but about the image that he show for the world.

And about his personal security? Is this safe? Someone can kill he. But again, uruguay is a small country. In brazil, I don't think he can live like that, even if he want.

My Country

WHAT EVER STILL A GOOD MAN,.,.,,.

If only most of the worlds rulers were like this man

Take my salute Mr. President

Hats off to this man.

Me knows where the priorities in life lay, and that even if he lives relatively poorly, there are people worse off than him.

As for security, who's going to kill a man with nothing to take but his life, and his dog? The next in his seat would probably just roll in the cash and fuck off the housing system.

Everyone loses!

Impressive. There are many others who could learn from him.

respect

respect for the man. All presidents should be like him, we would have less problems then.

if and as U.S. president would think as same.........

Good man! Also, he looks like my grandpa.

I wish north American leaders would learn from him.

and the best of all.... he wants legal marijuana in uruguay

almost like Thomas Sankara, search the wiki

loser

This guy is going to save all the stoners of the world,
taking the first step toward the
legalization of our damn weed.

He is not poor, just has that he needs. Amazing man.

Hats off for the man!

Seems like good things, but let's get the facts straight instead of suggesting maybethis... or mistaken that...
