    The Clintons are opportunist s who are always looking for their next paycheck. They are true conservatives who want black people to believe their sham. Trust them, and they will walk away rich while Dominica sinks deeper into economic problems.

    Don’t forget one of life’s many golden rules: Everyone is not your friend.

    Now Skerrit you did not invite the opposition to meet the former President. Why? why? This shows that our civilization has taken a giant step back and this is very sad. I am sure that if Mr.. Clinton’s people knew about that and the rotten governance structure we have in DA at the moment, they would place some conditions before he visits our island.

    Therefore one must feel very sorry for Roosevelt Skerrit but moreover, for our island home. But as the saying goes What goes up must come down Skerrit.

    Hope this was not just a show and the people get the help they need,Skerrit it would have been good to see the opposition joined in the meeting,but knowing who you are and your ego expected nothing less.

    Did Clinton meet or sit down with the members of the Opposition parties ? if not why not. Clinton should have all their ideas on moving the Island forward , because the Foundation would be working with all the people of Dominica and that includes all members of the Opposition parties It’s good that they want to help us but they have to include everyone .

      If the PM were to visit the US to meet with the government administration on official business, i doubt he would meet with the democrats.

        Unlike DA there are committees which run things in the Government, and on every committee both Democrats and Republicans are represented.

      Don’t you know by now that the Clinton Foundation is a money laundering operation involved in illegal transactions? They were under investigation not that long ago and may still be under investigation.
