Jun 23rd, 2015 - 09:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0He comes from a culture where such bananas continually get elected to positions of power, only then to indulge in blatent corruption and lies; of course he thinks he's got the savvy and background to make it as head honcho at FIFI. Stanley Rouse must be turning in his grave.

Jun 23rd, 2015 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps he should run for President of Argentina, he could win that and reading the posts above he would seem to be well qualified.
