With his house now transformed into an intensive-card ward, Nelson Mandela has been discharged from hospital and moved by ambulance to his home in a Johannesburg suburb where he remains in critical condition.

The 95-year-old anti-apartheid hero is still sometimes slipping into “unstable” condition, needing medical intervention to revive him, but his entire medical team will now continue to care for him at his home, an official South African statement said.

A report in a South African newspaper on Sunday said the Mandela family and its doctors had decided that “it is now time for Mandela to be moved home to see out his final days.”

Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason?

Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.

So, I’m just guessing here, but I expect that when Mandela dies, Obama will attend the funeral. And, at the funeral, we will be regaled with the heroic exploits by Obama that ended Apartheid in South Africa and freed economic and ‘racial’ slaves everywhere on this planet.

Prepare for tons of news stories glorifying Mandela...maybe a mini-series and a feature film as well.

Put on your hip waders. It’s going to be deep.

Other presidents gave passionate speeches on foreign policy and sent their veeps to attend funerals. Obama saves his passionate speeches for funerals and memorials and sends his veep to take care of foreign policy

I've been in a intensive card ward...believe me, it's no fun! Playing Crazy Eights 24/7 really messes with your mind.

Set up a bed in the night club his gang bombed killing 23 men and women because he said that civilians are part of the war effort. Let him die there surrounded by the ghosts his victims.

“It’s been deep for years!”

But most of our “citizens” wallow in it like the worthless pigs that they are! The Gimmies can always be counted on to vote themselves more free $hit in exchange for giving up their freedom.

Mandela means nothing to us...I refuse to put him on a pedestal and worship him...
at 95 he is just a shell and waiting for his last breath..time to put him to rest...

LETS MOVE ON......
The USA is in trouble and we need to put our attention to where it belongs..

He should be “necklaced” before it’s too late.
