To calm their 'wild minds'...some people meditate using the mantra 'Om'.
Not...President Juan Manuel Santos.
Everyday Santos mutters 'Don't fight with Uribe.'...over and over.
The actual Spanish is 'NoPeCu'...or 'No pelear con Uribe.'
But...really...it's more of an affirmation.
The Uribe...of course...is his predecessor...snippy conservative ex-president Alvaro Uribe.
For months...Uribe been tweeting ugliness about Santos...especially about recent setbacks in the tough fight vs the FARC narco-oro rebels...and his improved relations with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
Uribe's continuing negativity...and increasing FARC/ELN offenses on oil pipelines have helped drive down Santos' popularity in just 2 years...from the high 60's...to the low 40's.
ALSO : The BBC delivers a very ordinary interview with Santos at the half way point of his 4-year term.
