Dilma Rousseff and president Lula Just when President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva thought he had installed his chief of staff, Dilma Rousseff, as his successor in next year's presidential race Fate struck a blow and Rousseff announced that she was undergoing chemotherapy. She called a press conference on April 25 and announced that she had had a tumor removed from an armpit and a biopsy had detected a cancer of the lymphatic system.

that in a Democracy the President in function, tries to have one person of HIS choice...AS HIS SUCCESSOR !

This happens only in BANANA REPUBLICS TO MY KNOWLEDGE, never in true Democracies !
Banana Republics

So I think the USA is Banana Republic too. George Bush was what, by the way? Let's be realistic. China is an assumed not democratic country. The USA that like to claim themselves as democracy but in reality it is not. Georgy Banana Bush.
I bet Dilma has more capacity to administrate Brazil than George Banana Bush had to do with the USA.
dito..YOU GET IT ALL WRONG !!!!!

Was George Bush chosen as the preferred candidate from Clinton ????

Was McCain chosen by Bush to be his eventual successor ?????

But true China is certainly not a Democracy.

Stupid question : why Brazil never lobby and clearly criticizes Cuba but dont hesitate REPEATEDELY to criticize the USA EMBARGO ?????
Could you please refresh my memory on their last ELECTION ?????

And....and...and....sorry but Bush WAS ELECTED...AND RE-ELECTED...if you did not know.
Correct the first election results were very very close. Unfortunate but So what ? they resolved democratically the situation. And what about the second election ? Not so tight at all....until you come up
with more specifics details.

Outside of this I agree with you that the USA always act like arrogant
COW BOYS...that wants to be the SHERIFFS of the world.
What they do is right. What they say is right.
And we we have seen it with their Iraq WMD irrefutably proven by their
CIA (Central Idiots Agency) !

Their Afghanistan and Iraq Invasion were supposed to be quick,short, effective and not that expensive.
7 years and $ 800 billion later or so...they are still there.
And have still not found Bin Laden...of course. What an expensive guy he is !
Total waste of money and time..as usual !
America lost the war against poor Vietnam, poor Somalia in Africa and are still legally at war with North Korea. No peace was ever signed after 50 years..... meaning they also DID NOT WIN THAT WAR either...by definition. And they are still not winning against Afghanistan.
How could they ? How will they ?
Fatty McDo bodies and fluffy minds still have fun and orgasmic pleasures using their latest marvelous war machines and playing the war games like youths playing war with their latest Play Stations. They are so proud of their successes. APPARENT SUCCESSES...until proven otherwise !

Their biggest problem is that they always end up shooting in their own rear...time and again. And funnily these idiots have not yet realized it ! And they will never admit it ! They would rather prefer DOUBLING their war budgets.

As sarcastic as I could be, this is the sad facts and reality !!!!!

We are all Banana Republics! After 8 years in Brazil, it was easy to see the corruption in this country. The only difference is, the US tries to hide it and Americans are so trusting they get away with it.
There are many things that tie the 2 parties together, and I think the presidents here are selected, not elected. But Americans love to hope, and they will never challenge this or rise up.

Unless, of course, Obama freezes our bank accounts..... smilies/smiley.gif
