no matter how you slice it...look at how chavez is playing his cards...

there is no one in power who would just totaly give it up with out some kind of strategy going on underneath...these are all politions , and like politions, they all are wealing and dealing underneath..trying to keep the power

lula could be pushing dilma so that if she loses, he can come back in 4 years.

it would be shrewd to get out of the way now as the financial crises is sure to make for dificult obstacles for who ever comes in.

it would work well for lula if he let go for a minute , with his rep**ation in tact and very well with the people ,and checked which way the winds are going in the next 4 years and come back with a strong platform that the people are impressed with ( of course that is who he has to impress and play the game right with...the people..)

Once a girl from the caribbean loves a man, she do everything for the man and will satisfy him. She'll give her best to give that caribbean love that a man would ever dream of.
