So, tell me, what is a presidential election without mercantilism? What mercantilism you ask? The one that goes "blessed is Lebanon" (Poster gift of - insert name of businessman-aspiring-politician-in-the-next-MP-elections). Yes, some did try to make an effort - "he is worth of it of it and more" "his excellence the head of the army" and some went completely sycophantic with this foregoing any personal pride and just going for the jugular. Do note the above are merely a sample, there is much more in the market dipped in give-and-take the same sauce. But hey, Lebanon is what it is, and this is nothing new (this comes to mind - here) and with every new election you will have the well-wishers with their not-so-hidden agendas.
And electing Joseph Aoun for the presidency is no exception!
