Tom Wolf: “This picture depicts South Sudanese women in a food distribution line. Another desperate woman at the fore is hunched…”

On the recordFebruary 25, 2014
This picture depicts South Sudanese women in a food distribution line. Another desperate woman at the fore is hunched over barbed wire. Violence, displacement, and starvation plague the world's newest nation, but that doesn't have to be so. Months ago, I wrote the Obama administration urging that they invite former President George W. Bush and the Bush Institute to engage in the crisis, given that President Bush had forged lasting relationships with South Sudanese leaders during the negotiation of peace in 2005. The Obama administration, perhaps constrained by pride, has failed to act, and the very nation the U.S. helped birth is perishing in its infancy. ____________________

I really appreciate what Malcolm said. But I think the Republicans in the state legislature are not in a position to actually steal the election.
