After receiving a huge number of congratulatory calls from world leaders on Wednesday, American President-Elect Barack Obama chose to return nine of them.

Here's Barack's list of fave leaders — holler back!

The President-elect returned calls to 9 leaders today, thanking them for having called to express congratulations on his election earlier this week. He returned calls to:

1. Prime Minister Rudd of Australia
2. Prime Minister Harper of Canada
3. President Sarkozy of France
4. Chancellor Merkel of Germany
5. Prime Minister Olmert of Israel
6. Prime Minister Aso of Japan
7. President Calderon of Mexico
8. President Lee of South Korea
9. Prime Minister Brown of the United Kingdom

(Do you think he used the Obama iPhone app to call them?)

We should have been 1st. Harper is so annoying. ;)

Interesting that Russia is not on this list.

I agree with Rachel where is Russia and if I may add China as well as India and Saudi Arabia, Pakistan? At least Russia and China should be long before some of the once named here. And yes, as Cao asked, how does it work? Good find, thanks.

I find this amazing that he chose to only call 9 world leaders back and then it lists their names. Haven't you read the top selling book of all times the "Holy Bible", especially Daniel Chapter 7 and put 2 and 2 together, 9 + Obama = 10 horns? The End Times are here and you better be ready!
