President Obama arrive this evening

To Cap. SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT! Cap, I meant no DISRESPECT of my post! It's unfortunate you had to use an F bomb! {I feel that was totally directed at me} As, you may recall, I started a post about 3 weeks ago about our President Obama coming to Jamaica, and how I thought this is a BIG deal, and how great it is. As the replies came in, I was sickened by some of the comments, the comments were so hateful, that our founding father Rob had to shut the thread down. Maybe my sarcasm struck a note, but it was based on the thread that I started. I have much respect for the country of Jamaica, and the great people. {13 negril trips in 9 years!!} I have much respect for our President, it's sooo unfortunate that he has had to put up with so much DISRESPECT since he became President. Cap, I am truly fricken {grin} sorry for my post on your thread. Will you forgive me? Todd

Todd,

No problem man. I wasn't too thrilled with the way that thread got twisted. Actually I was referring to what happened on that thread with the F bomb. Didn't want to see that start up again.

Jamaica is my adopted country and I'm proud just like most Jamaicans.

Cap

President Obama is a very intelligent man and knows his history (unlike several of the "party presidents" of the past). This trip was excellently timed to coincide with Jamaica's energy crisis having signed on to a Hugo Chavez deal that is backfiring. http://news.yahoo.com/obama-offer-al...045955378.html ; normalizing relations with Cuba during the gathering in Panama for the Seventh Summit of the Americas http://www.summit-americas.org/seventhsummit.htm and discussions with the PNP Government headed by Portia Simpson Miller regarding the Goat Island Project and China's gaining a foothold in the region.

The importance of Bob Marley's music and the history of Jamaica becoming a successfully run country made up mostly of descendants of former slaves living in relative harmony with the relatives of those who enslaved them is not lost on this president.

History will look kindly on his presidency.

Peace and Guidance

very, very cool! thanks for posting the pics!

Trip is already bearing fruit for Jamaica. http://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/l...a-meets-portia

This will have a very positive impact on the Jamaican Economy as the cost of Electricity production in Jamaica is high due to PetroCaribe and the Venezuelan deal.

More good news ahead.

Peace and Guidance

EXCITED for Jamaica~~ Thanks Capt.

Accompong, Thanks, for the words. Cap, I sent you a PM
