Ortega said the current crisis would hit remittance flows to Nicaragua, as immigrants sending money home to relatives lose their jobs in the United States due to the slowdown.

This appeared in Reuters UK "Oddly enough" section. I suppose the only thing odd about it is that it got published at all....

So God is punishing them by extension?

And if Obama wins in November, I agree with Ortega!

[muawiyah]

Nicaragua will be punished FIRST in fact. May be why Ortega now has made some sort of acknowledgement of God’s existence.

Why not? He believes in worships Satan...

"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said, "And it smells of sulfur still today."

When did Ortega start believing in God?

Reminds me of when Jane Fonda exhorted her listeners to pray that the US would some day become a Communist nation.

The US probably is being punished by God, so that HE can hit Nicaragua and Ortega twice as hard!

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“God was punishing the United States with the financial crisis for trying to impose its economic principles on poor countries.”

Dear pendejo Ortega and your little pendejo friends Morales and Chavez,

You have never met the barracuda. You are going to wish you were dead.

They didn’t read the end the of Bible. It will be for the whole world.
