I kind of understood the gist of his concern. I knew I should have paid more attention in those French classes in high school. It would be nice to hear the presidents own words. It sounded like a really harsh dress down. I searched a few more videos of him and looks like he really dresses down people when he is ticked off. There was video of him talking down a couple of magistrates..now thats a sound-bite I would like to understand. ---- Thomas Adeetuk <[log in to unmask]> wrote: ============= ******************************************************** VISIT AFRICAN ASSOCIATION OF MADISON WEBSITE http://www.africanassociation.org FOR LATEST INFORMATION ON AFRICA FEST 2009, MEMBERSHIP, COMMUNITY CALENDAR AND MUCH MORE.... ******************************************************** Thanks Wallang.
