"No country is going to create wealth if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich
themselves...No business wants to invest in a place where the government skims 20
percent off the top..No person wants to live in a society where the rule of law
gives way to the rule of brutality and bribery... That is not democracy, that is
tyranny, even if occasionally you sprinkle an election in there.. and now is the
time for that style of governance to end."
- Barack H. Obama, President of the United States of America (July 11, 2009)
