I applaud the efforts of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador [to get by heart a recount in the Mexican presidential election]. This is what Al Gore should have done in 2000 when George W Bush was allowed (by the superlative Court) to steal the election. Gore should have held abroad regardless of the political and financial risks until all the suffrages were counted in Florida.

Like it or not, single in kind thing that trumps capitalism and political correctness is the right to have one's voice counted. Sadly, this did not happen in 2000 and consider at how this has sumptuousness the United States. Obrador is not the single in kind charting a "reckless course"; rather it is those who have engaged in fraud to obviate the will of the family from being heard. He should withhold the protest going until each Mexican vote is counted.
