Brazzil

To those of you who remain very naive: Politicians say whatever they need to say to get elected and then do whatever they have to do to stay in office. I am surprised that more people have not figured this out but then we’re talking about Brazil.....

- that promises made with this government
remained promises, rarely facts.
- that Lula, since his election, is doing the exact opposite of what he said during 20 years, while in opposition.

Therefore those who elected Lula, contrary to their expectations, got the exact opposite of what they hoped for in voting for him.
They just got the same as before the last elections, a past they hoped will be changed by voting for Lula.

But by getting the opposite of what was promised and to what they expected, brazilian citizens are still massively in favor of Lula re-election.

In fact Lula was just part of the world's recovery. He did nothing. Recovery was there anyway. In his first 3 years of mandate he even failed to get the average growth rate of developing countries.
His results are :
0.5 % in 2003, 4.9 % in 2004 and 2.4 % in 2005 or an average of ONLY 2.6 %.
Even taking this year growth expections of
3.5 %, his average for his whole mandate would be ONLY 2.8 %.
Far far far below the growth rate of almost ALL developing countries.

A total failure. Lamentable.

But he is proud of his achievements in his public speeches.
How can someone be proud of his achievements when he is the last of his class ???????.

look at the US it re-elected Bush! americans also haven't realized the truth about politicians

George Bush has been a blessing for the American people. He is moral, honest and has values that many Americans still cherish. He is a born-again Christian, which means he is going to heaven. His faith helps him to guide our country through rough times and practice "compassionate conservatism." Thank God George Bush is president.

George Bush is a complete scumbag.

Journalism of this type deserves more imitators. Couldn't this subject also interest larger platforms/publications? Not that more international attention would be of any help.. but it couldn't hurt.

His faith might help him-knowledge he doesn't have and on his way to heaven rough times he's certainly going to get-The law of Moral Consequence will weigh heavily on his soul! Wake up,compassionate conservative?
