“Gentlemen, if you want to kill the president, here he is! Kill me if you want to! Kill me if you are brave, instead of hiding in the crowd like cowards!”

1. Someone will take him up on it if he isnt careful

He almost got it yesterday.

Ironically, it was a tossup on where to go this January, Brazil or Ecuador. Is looking more and more like Brazil this year...

Thank you, Enrique. :wow:

3. Where have I heard this before?

Oh, yeah!

President George W. Bush Says "Bring 'em on"

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. Yeah, but I don't remember bush saying that in front of an armed angry mob directly

5. heard a good analysis of the situation: austerity calls alienated traditional allies but he didn't

go far enough to the right to win the support of the oligarchs.

Sound familiar?
