Politics and Culture

Obama has already expressed his desire to sit down with anybody, anytime and work the Mojo that he knows on the world's most murderous leaders.

With that in mind, here's an interesting little bit recovered from FARC laptops (Note to FARC: Try encryption software like Password Protector or Folder Lock- or just a better password- What did you use, Marx's birthday?). It says that the FARC was going to meet with "gringos" (No diversity training at FARC training camp?) who assured the FARC that an Obama presidency would be more open to negotiations. I wonder if that's the same guy who talked to Canada about NAFTA?

6. The gringos called for a meeting with the minister to ask him to tell us they are interested in talking about several topics. They claim they new president in their country will be Obama and that these people are interested in their fellow citizens. Obama will support neither Plan Colombia nor the signature of the Free Trade Agreement. In this regard, we replied we are interested in relations with the governments that are on equal grounds and that in the case of the United States, a public statement voicing their interest in talking to the FARC is needed, given their eternal war against us.
