AMLO – Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the looney that lost the presidential election in 2006 to Felipe Calderón just said he is going for it again in 2012. According to a speech he held in Oaxaca, he said “We won the presidency in 2006, but were robbed. We will seek the presidency in 2012 and win it once again”… “We” refers to him, obviously.

I just wonder how it all will pan out after his successor as Mexico City mayor, Marcelo Ebrard, was dubbed by him as his successor when he claimed victory in the 2006 elections. Ebrard still wants to run for president in 2012…

The fact that AMLO is about to get kicked out of the PRD party won’t help him either. He is (hopefully) going to be kicked out since he fought his own party – the PRD in the local elections 2009 by setting his own candidate in a Mexico City township. The party, PRD, presented one candidate democratically elected by the party. Not to his liking (since this candidate goes against AMLO’s different ideas), AMLO campaigned for another candidate, running for another party (PT). He made a deal with the guy, that if he won, he would step down and let AMLO’s candidate take his place… In essence, AMLO is playing games with democracy – just as long as he gets what he wants. Like this delusional character did in 2006, when he kidnapped the main avenue in Mexico City for months by paying people to protest, set up tents and live there. That little stunt amounted to nothing, except financial breakdown for thousands of business owners along the avenue that lost all due to no sales.

AMLO is like a Hugo Chavez on steroids – but without a country to run (thankfully)
