President George W. Bush's staunchest ally in Latin America apparently believes Barack Obama will be the next US president.
At least that's what Colombian President Alvaro Uribe indicated during a public debate with trade union leaders.
Uribe said Monday that he plans to tell Sen. Obama - "when he is president of the United States" - that unions in Colombia face fewer restrictions than the Democratic presidential nominee might think.
Colombia's judicial workers have been on strike for 50 days.
Obama cites violence against unionists - 31 have been killed so far this year - in opposing a free trade agreement with Colombia.
His opponent, Republican Sen. John McCain, backs the treaty, which is stalled in the US Congress.
