Colombia: Latin America’s Hidden Gem for Investors

tasco66 says on Aug 29, 2008, 08:59:

"The bottom line is this: While Colombia’s growth rate is only moderate, it has under President Uribe been the best-run country in Latin America, and has benefited economically from this. Uribe’s second presidential term expires in 2010, but he remains popular, and the betting is that he will pass the baton to a like-minded successor."

Uribe has many blind supporters,like Bush and his keep USA safe policy.
.The man friends include Ochoa the late Pablo Escobar, and his main political circle is in jail or being indited for Para crimes. The man sells of promised land in Choco for more African Palm oil, and has sold out the revunes of Colombias coal reserves to Drummond.
The truth be told Uribe has been real good for Colombias elite, and very bad for Colombias poor,under his watch - meat and basic things like milk ,eggs, promasa. sugar , rice and such have risen 30% in the last 2 years. Colombia can not afford another Uribe, and the USA can not afford another GWB, as the two are both SOBS ( Uribe and Bush )

If Uribe was a crook why would over 90% of Colombians support him?

You have been reading too many Cassini & Desi propaganda posts...

I just put "straitjacket" up there in search and this is what came up:

"This is what cassini77 said on Friday January 25th, 2008 15:01: about Catherine B:

"Quick, a straitjacket !!! It is an emergency!!!
She is blowing a fuse!!!!"

In another message (that was deleted) he wished the death of a PBH member.

Desideria do you consider this to be opinion, and if not how come we did not hear from you on these posts?"

Jajaja just too funny...

Tasco - 'If Uribe was a crook why would over 90% of Colombians support him'?

I guess its because he comes from a very low base. The long-suffering Colombians have had to suffer a long line of mediocre presidents before Uribe. On a scale of 1 to 10 if you raise the mark from 2 to 4 then you're up 100% but you are still only 4 out of ten.
