Ukraine Protesters Visit Ousted President's Luxury Home


[From article]
Ukraine's parliament voted to remove President Viktor Yanukovych on Saturday, even as the embattled leader remained defiant, calling the country's political crisis a "coup" and saying he has no intention of resigning or leaving the country.
"They are trying to scare me. I have no intention to leave the country. I am not going to resign, I'm the legitimately elected president," Yanukovych said in a televised statement. "What we see today is a coup — I did everything to prevent the bloodshed. We adopted two amnesty laws. We did everything to stabilize the political situation."

Yanukovych is correct that he is "the legitimately elected president" of the Ukraine. Goes to show that not only United States voters can be fooled by political candidates.
