Poor old Burma. They really take it on the chin. They’re one of the few dictatorial regimes left who don’t claim to be Muslim, Communist, or otherwise politically correct.

If only they were smart enough to declare that they were Communists or something, then they’d get the UN seal of approval.

Not that I think they’re very nice. But no worse than about a hundred other regimes around the world.

The audacity of this creep is amazing.

Over here the Demoncrats cheat like hell and he's telling them to be “fair”? LOL!

The ONLY reason Harry Reid survived is because of UNION CHEATING!

Potentially misleading headline here by omitting “Burma.”

From the title I thought 0bama was condemning the US elections.

If he had got to do it the Chicagoland way he would have stuffed the ballot boxes across the US and not one Dem would have lost.
