President Ma Ying-jeou used the second anniversary of the return to power of his rightist Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) to try to persuade the 23 million Taiwan people to believe in a new vision of a "Golden Decade."
Ma clearly realizes that the greatest threat to his chances of winning a second four year term in the next presidential and national legislative polls in early 2012 is the fact that the majority of the Taiwan people have already realized that they were tricked in the March 2008 presidential polls by the KMT leader's "633" mirage.
