Ping
And he deserved it. He should be celebrated around the world. But I’m not holding my breath until that happens.
Micheletti has founding father type honor in his soul. God bless him and he helped deliver his country into freedom in the face of threats and undeserved leftist worldwide scorn.
Hugo Chavez is cesspool scum compared to Micheletti.
A job well done, President Micheletti. May God be with you!
Sometimes the good guy do get recognized and finish first.
Wonder what Ol Stinky Mel is doing these days? Still hanging out with the Brazilians?
This may have cost him personally. Didn’t he lose a nephew in the middle of all this?
He was the right man at the right time.
Is he barred from running for the presidency later?
