Round one
Finally, a good fight!
Our beloved president decided that, after the tragedy - in his view, of course - of last Sunday, he would attend the debates before the second round of the elections. It was established that one of the causes he didn't win the election in the first round as he predicted was because the people saw his absence on the debates as a lack of respect and cowardice. So, he lost some of the votes and he is now trying to make up for it, and has announced that he'll attend all the debates. Tonight was the first one.
Well, first off, I have to mention how much his attitude has changed this past week. He now takes back half of what he had said before, trying to explain some of the things he said, trying to make nice with not only the people, but also with the press he claimed was persecu
ting him.
Now, to the debate itself. Niiiiice! They came very close to having a fight, and were, of course, helped by the journalists in the audience, thriving for blood. In my biased view of the discussion, the opponent won. Because at one point, the president was just short of answers. And the metaphors, oh good Gooood, the metaphors kill me! In explaining how he didn't know about the corruption, and the buying of the document (look a few posts down, please), he said 'well, when you are home in the kitchen, do you know what your son is doing in the living room?' Oh well, now, that is a good explanation! And it went on and on like that, until he had no more answers and just started teasing the other guy 'calm doooown, you don't have to get all nervous about it.... it doesn't suit you'. Doesn't suit what, the guy's complexion?

Anyway, to be fair, the president had his moments. but my declared vote did not change, and was a bit reinforced by what I saw in the debate. there are still 2 more to come. Let's wait and see... maybe next time, there's blood and tears.
ps: sorry about all the comments on the elections, doesn't really concern some of you, but it's kind of important, you know? I'll try to restrain myself...
