    Thursday, 28 January 2010 07:47 AM

    Doesnt matter. He is our Leader & he has not given such promise as SF given dozens of fake promises.

    Thursday, 28 January 2010 07:36 AM

    We know what you are up to! While you are at it, why not make it a life term?

    Thursday, 28 January 2010 07:27 AM

    would he wait till the present term is over to take oaths in two years........?????

    Thursday, 28 January 2010 07:26 AM

    "in due course" ??? does this mean in two or three years time???
    here we go.........

    Thursday, 28 January 2010 07:25 AM

    Due course will be in another two years, which means that finally we will have 8 years of MR rule.

    Thursday, 28 January 2010 07:11 AM

    No worries Prof. No hope either now. Do what ever you guys wanted to do......3 rd world to nowhere

    Thursday, 28 January 2010 07:10 AM

    Mr.President, I voted for you to be the president for next 6yrs only. Not for 8yrs.If you want this two years , you should've waited for two more years. BAD
