p.s. I think it is disrespectful to speak in such derogatory terms about peoples' appearances. GR don't ask any of you for any handouts and even if he did, it would still be mean spirited. C'mon guys, grow up lil.

So, instead of devaluing gains that have been made and demoralising the change agents, why don't we grasp this opportunity to participate actively in moving process to a higher level and make this fledging democracy work? Our nation is calling.

I suspect that we will have a do nothing parliament just as in the US with congress. But this might not be such a bad idea given the PPP's record of failed projects such as the sugar industry investment in the Skeldon plant as well as the laptop giveway. If the opposition want real impact they first and foremost need to call for the denationalization of the media and campaign reform. They stated that state funds were spent on ppp election billboard signs, they need to take this power away from the PPP.

Obama spent the first two years of his advantage in the congress trying to be the healer. He wasted time with an ideologically bound group whose policies brought us into this economic crisis with their wasteful spending. He compounded the problem by giving concessions when they give none. Hopefully he would have learnt and in November we would have a favorable congress to again that will initiate the necessary change.

Obama's failure to get bipartisan support is a referendum on why Guyana too will fail without a PPP majority parliament. Elected officials will stay loyal to their party even if it means the destruction of the nation. November will be too late for Obama as the die is already cast. Get ready for a republican president. In fact I believe that the republicans will win even more seats in congress as the Whites have now found a Black man to blame for all their own self inflicted wounds.

I doubt that GNI has such an impact on Guyana. The proof will be in the pudding, if the PNC/AFC vote no to everything that the PPP propose then Ramotar will have no choice but to call snap elections.

If AFC and APNU develop ideas and vote them in the PPP will have to implement them or tell Guyanese why they disaobey parliament.

The blue states will not save Obama. He will lose Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida as the trailer trash Whites and racist Hispanics have suffered throughout this recession. Once the Republican nominee is chosen, the voters and special interest will throw their support behind them.
