| #2 I think as far as he can be, he is on the correct path. They know what he can do. And they also know he has greater support. A far cry from Saint Pinochet, but he did swear on he Bible and to GOD, he would try his best (And a statue of Mao Se too!) Fingers crossed on this one. Will see what they make in store for themselves. |
