While it is true that Obote inherited a fairly proseprous country at independence with a good infra-structure -- by African standards; we should not forget that he proceeded to drive it into the ground, nearly on all fronts, at a fast clip. (Before you fire off one of your knee-jerk responses, bear in mind that there are historical records available of what we had at independence.)
Ssemakula:
What exactly do you mean in your statement above? Can you validate what you have stated above (with appropriate "historical" record of course). Did Obote drive the economy down? and how exactly?
Stop acting like a "talking head" one often observers on CNN, NBC, FOX Channel. " really talk about nothing ( hot air if you want ) but would try their level best to convince illiterate politically uninitiated Americans that they have actually said something intelligent...result .. they got us into war in Iraq!

"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
- Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda minister
