United States President Barack Obama is the latest foreign Head of State to send a congratulatory message to Guyana’s President Donald Ramotar on his victory after the country’s general and regional elections held on November 28, 2011.

President Obama in a correspondence to Mr. Ramotar commended the People of Guyana for their enthusiastic, peaceful and responsible participation in the democratic process and said he looks forward to the partnership between the two countries.

“I look forward to working with you and your new government to strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the United States and Guyana, and to promote our shared goals of democracy, security and prosperity throughout the region,” President Obama said.

The Second Meeting of the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI) that convened in October 2011 was among the latest in the partnership endeavours between the two countries. CBSI is an initiative launched by President Obama in Port of Spain in 2009 to help Caribbean governments address the full range of security challenges facing the region.

During the two - day CBSI forum held at the Guyana International Conference Centre, partnering States focused on law enforcement, information sharing, cooperation and capacity building, crime prevention and maritime security cooperation.

“I look forward to working with..... you and your "new government"
to "strengthen" the friendship and cooperation between the United States and Guyana,
and to "promote our shared goals of democracy, security and prosperity" throughout the region,” President Obama said.

What took the US President so long????

Ramotar and the PPP had to make a Public statement
(1) admitting (a)"The PPP is now A Minority Govt".....and
(b)"The PPP is A Minority Party in Parliarment"..and
(c)if it was not for Burnham PNC Constitution the "PPP would be now occupying the Opposition Benches where they rightfully belong".

(2) The PPP MUST Further.... acknowledge the realities of the 2011 Election Results and
(a)And as we move forward.....The PPP is now Ready Willing and Able....to ACCEPT their Mistakes and Mismanagement of the Past,
(b)The PPP Must.... CLEAN UP THE MESS THE GUYANA GOVT FINDS ITSELF IN TODAY, and
(c)The PPP Must.....Work with the Oppsiition as Partners and Bring all "Jagdeo Funny Fellas To Justice"
(d)The PPP Understand..... Race Politices is Over...."It is no longer Business as Usual"


This is why ......they are forced to Rally around Moses now....
Nagamootoo is the one responsible for this "Fresh New Start"

OK Folks:

Recently President Ramotar was asked about Moses
Nagamootoo, a 50 year PPP member who bolted for the AFC just prior to the 2011 election.

These were President Ramotar's comments:



quote:

"Moses was a PPP stalwart. I always held him in high regard. He was an asset to our party. It was unfortunate that he left the party in anger and bitterness.

But what has been done cannot be undone. What I can say is the PPP is a big party and a big family, and comrade Moses would be welcomed back into the party anytime he chooses. We cannot afford to lose our stalwarts to the other political parties. No question our party lost thousands of votes in regions 5 and 6 because of comrade Moses departure.

I believe in forgiveness. I know the party is willing for forgive comrade Moses and I hope he can forgive us some day.

I am reminded of a quote by Mohandas Gandhi. He once said that "the weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.

The PPP and comrade Moses must both engage in forgiveness. And like I said, comrade Moses is always welcome back home where he belongs."


Clearly Guyana's new president Donald Ramotar is a man of character, integrity, maturity and decency. He had some kind words for Mr. Nagamootoo.

Hope by the time the next election rolls around Moses Nagamootoo wisely returns to his true home.
