Why...? I'm honestly curious as to why a libertarian from California would pick Mark Rutte of all leaders to lead the U.S. 
Anyway, yeah, Rutte would obviously be better than Obama but so would many right-wing European PMs.
Harper, Abbott and Netanyahu seem to be the obvious choices, with Cameron as a good number four.
I like Rutte in particular. In addition to general quality leadership on fiscal policy (along the lines of a Merkel or a Cameron), his social policy stands out, like I recall him taking stands against smoking bans and against making Holocaust denial illegal.
That was when he actually stood (or seemed to stand) for something, far before his first term as PM
Sadly, his Rutte-I cabinet pushed for making it much harder to buy marijuana (while not criminalizing it completely), something his supposedly "liberal" VVD supported as well because muh law and order (ignoring the fact that this proposal would actually lead to a big increase of street dealing and drug-related violence). Fortunately, however, these efforts failed when the cabinet fell, leaving the situation as it was.
I used to like him very much, but while I still like his "style" and I see what you mean, he and his party have pretty much of a mixed record right now, also coming out against (!) new budget cuts because that "hurts the economy" :')
Oh, and to people who are saying Maduro/Morales: seriously?! Seriously....?!
