A New Face in South Korea
Imagine for a moment a presidential candidate under criminal investigation for fraud and stock manipulation. This same candidate among other things would have admitted to tax evasion for falsely claiming his children were employees and for using false addresses to enroll them in better schools. Understand that the public would be fully aware of these allegations and rival candidates would be capitalizing on these ethical shortcomings in their own campaigns. Believe it or not, this candidate is real. His name is Lee Myung-bak and he has just been elected South Korea’s president.
