Mexico's Leftist Loser Swears Himself In As President
Making up in comic genius what he lacks in electability, left-winger Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who lost the Mexican presidential election last July 2 to Felipe Calderon, has sworn himself in as President of Mexico.
Senator and "human rights activist" Rosario Ibarra placed a presidential sash across Lopez Obrador's shoulder, a full three weeks late for Halloween.
In an excellent bargain for Mexicans, Lopez Obrador pledged "to protect the rights of Mexicans and to defend Mexico's sovereignty and patrimony, and ensure the happiness and welfare of the people" — all presumably free of charge, since imaginary presidents probably don't show up on the government payroll.
Less beneficially, the platform for Lopez Obrador's parallel government will call for more of the street protests that have already injured the Mexican economy by prompting travel warnings from the American Embassy. The shadow president plans to draw up a new constitution that will limit the power of corporations, the media, and the "neo-fascist oligarchy" that voters chose over him, as well as dictate to the USA whether we can build a fence to keep out Mexican invaders.
In an apparent bid to get himself thrown in jail — if not a mental asylum — Lopez Obrador is scheming to foil Calderon's inauguration ceremony on December 1. Sounding remarkably like a BDS-afflicted Gore supporter, the make-pretend President announced:
We are going to make Calderon realize at all times that he is an illegitimate leader.
Columnist Armando Fuentes aptly described the phony swearing-in ceremony as "a circus act, a farce." Lopez Obrador's Democratic Revolutionary Party is second largest in Mexico's Congress.
On a tip from Wiggins.
