Given President Hussein Obama & Co's current "war" against his own detractors — private citizens (Town Hall meetings) and those in the media (like Fox News) it will be almost comical to see his response to the complaints from the PAP's "opposition". I'm using quotes " " because in Spore politics it is a no-contest, and quite frankly most of the people don't care because they've either drunk the kool-aid or been bought off by the HDB-CPF political lever.
I hope someone raises the issue of homosexual's basic human rights as well with Prez Hussein. Why not? If you're going to throw eggs in the faces of the PAP, do the best job possible for "maximum entertainment value".
