You Know You're Living In A Banana Republic When ...

[D.B. Cooper]

The President speaks for three and a half hours non stop, yet never holds a Press Conference.
( Think Cuba & Venezuela ). Can you imagine President Obama speaking non stop for that amount of time ?
( Even though the US has a population almost ten times that of Argentina ).
His sanity would be questioned ... :wacko:

How would you keep Biden awake ???

 

[Rich One]

Well look what happened to Chavez he made speeches lasting 12 hours!! now he can't speak ?
Por la boca muere el pez.. !!

Yeah good thing Obama doesnt speak for 3 hours; he might have to discuss areas he hates mentioning, such as extending the Patriot Act, fighting to keep a permanent Guantánamo, his wall street funders, the NDAA, his steamrolling of the Bill of Rights to assassinate US citizens, his unauthorised wars against Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, etc., the Keystone pipeline, warrentless wiretapping, mass deportations, use of the espionage act to crackdown on whistleblowers....

To wit, US politics has a level of corruption that CFK and her small time crooks can only dream of.

Argentina has never been a banana republic. It's been a beef republic, and a wheat republic, and now a soy republic of sorts.

your president wears a uniform and never changes it. (military with the crazies further north, black dresses for "el" down here)

A few days ago the local press Clarin & La Nacion announced that the government was investing fifty million pesos in a TV soap opera & the TV program 6 7 8.
I'm not making this up !!!
6 7 8 is a total scam. It acts like a serious TV show but it's an obvious mouth piece for Kristina. It's an easy way of getting around holding a Press Conference.
The Vice President was on it a few weeks ago to answer questions about his travel expense habits. The show moderator asked him a few softball cream puff questions
and appeared satisfied with the VP answers. Absolutely ridiculous.
BTW the Soap Opera title is going to be called Esa Mujer . "That Woman" .
The star is Andrea del Boca who bears a striking resemblance to Kristina. I think they go to the same botox place .
Anyway does anybody know why that program is called 6 7 8 ???.

Anyway does anybody know why that program is called 6 7 8 ???.

It's called 6, 7, 8 because it is 6 panelists/idiots/commentators, in Canal 7, at 8 pm = 6 en el 7 a las 8.

 

[sleslie23]

Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9.

 

[D.B. Cooper]

... When the president of the country makes a speech that it's broadcast on 13 TV channel at once.
Although I did noticed that the screen went dark on several occasions...
