In the Republic of Mari El, winter democracy gave shoots. Here now you can openly express dissatisfaction with the president. In Yoshkar-Ola, a Nexia car was noticed, on the rear bumper of which a crossed portrait of the head of state is placed. Bold and unambiguous. True, this is a portrait of not President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and not even the head of the republic Leonid Markelov, but the US President Barack Obama. For those who do not recognize him, another sign in the form of a road sign is attached to the bumper: “Stop Obama”.
Well, Barack Obama got the Mari Republic. And no wonder. What kind of life under Obama, if the region is listed in a series of hopeless debtors, and in terms of salaries is in the penultimate place in the Volga Federal District? Did the local residents have to take the turn to the children's clinic at six in the morning under George Bush Jr. And at Obama they reached. The queue for the pediatrician in the village of Ruem (in it is about 4 thousand inhabitants, located near Yoshkar-Ola) sometimes reaches 50 people. What happens? While the line reaches the 48th, 49th and 50th, the children will grow up and the children's doctor will not accept them: “You,” he will say, “to the adult clinic.”
Although no, we praised Bush Jr. in vain. A free press disappeared under him in the republic, and the federal media wrote that the public debt of Mari El is “very alarming”, that enterprises are massive in order to redo the property and that the salary here is the lowest in the Volga Federal District. Under Bush Jr., maternity departments were massively closed in cities and regions of the republic, and women began to be taken to give birth to Yoshkar-Ola. The old saying “Do not be born beautiful ...” At that time, gave way to a new one: “Do not be born on the road ...”.
Perhaps the Mari Republic was better at Clinton? No, no better, but we will not criticize Clinton. This is a rather distant era, although Vladimir Putin and Leonid Markelov became the presidents of Russia and Mari El even with him. And Clinton did not cause any protest on the Middle Volga. Then our citizens did not yet understand that all their troubles came from the Capitol Hill. Now, finally, healed and took up Obama.
Yoshkar-Ola was a little behind the process. For example, in Udmurtia, the city of Sarapul woke up back in April. There were troubles here. A city -forming radio factory was shaking, the former general director of which, due to suspicions of the theft of 35 million rubles, was sent to Moscow under the escort. The district nurses of the Sarapul city hospital No. 1 declared a hunger strike against low salary (10-12 thousand rubles) and working conditions ... Who will remain indifferent to such events? And so the Sarapul.net Internet resource in mid-April reported that the local political council of "United Russia" "discussed important issues." Well, there is a party report, the election of delegates to the regional conference ... and, finally, the shock point: to take part in the Stop, Obama project with the organization of rallies and pickets among youth.
And some are surprised that Obama has a catastrophically low rating. With our protest activity, we will still achieve its impeachment.
