UPDATE – PHOTO: PM and Obama

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and US President Obama at last weekend’s Summit of the Americas.

What are they discussing?

What should they be discussing?

Dominica News Online has caught up with Prime Minister Skerrit and asked him what he really discussed with the American President.

According to the Prime Minister he asked Obama to play a greater role in providing scholarships for Dominicans to study in the US.

He said they did not talk about ALBA, Venezuela and Cuba.

    Give me a break. You mean to tell me that, the PM really expect us to belive this mess. You have a breif encounter with the US president, and the first thing you go right into conversation with him asking for scholarships?? How long was this conversation??

    How gullible does the PM really think that we are??

        For whom is the PM requesting these scholarship for? thought we had so many persons out there on scholarship and no J O B S for them on their return to DA, think economic assistance for the agriculture sector to repair the feeder roads would be a more meaningful discussion.

    Obama: Yo, would you like to be the 51st state?

    Skerit: ”Yea man”, but only of you allow me to legalize and sell you the best Marijuana in the world.

    Obama: “Done”, but only if its organic.

    Skerrit: ” I die nuh!” I have a joint all now if you want to take two pulls.

    Obama:”Papamet”. How much of that can I get to bring back right now?

    Obama:”Forget Chavez and his coffee plant”….we in business boii Skerro.

    The writer of that article asked two pointed questions that would shape the discussion,but it seems most postings here are just focused on trivial things rather than engage in a good educated debate as to what they are or should be discussing about.

    I hope that they were talking about the US’s increased rapprochement with its ‘backyard’ regoinal states or our PM jokingly scolding Mr. Obama for not providing more scholarships and assistanceships to allow more low-income people from the region to enter the US to earn higher degrees or enhanced training and skills and at the same time, develop a mechanism that they must come back and work for their country states.

    DNO You have to share the blame for proving to offshore readers that some Dominicans are absurdly petty and choose to remain focused on the un-important.

    Seriously! Pm asking obama to provide financial aid to da students. Is this an intention of a joke? I live in the us and it is not that easy. Even citizens of the us have to be eligible for financial aid and schorlarships. I have been in the education system and i know. It is the pm who has to give da students schorlarships. Come on he don’t look at the budget crisis going on in the us ? Everyone is cutting down, people lost their jobs,e,t.c. The economy has not recovered. I feel da always in a begging, begging. Sorry if i sound ignorant but i am not. All financial resources are not utilized in the right way this is why da is under a financial dilemna. That, s my opinion.

    The truth in terms of leadership they are more alike than we think.

    One is a public pleaser ever apologetic and back tracking under pressure.

    The other is a non people pleaser, do as I damn well please and the people bow and accept it! hail the king.

    They both stammer and pause as they go along in questions. One stammers in public and give long winded answers.

    The other one well he fraid public media so he reads scripted messages from the comfort of a well orchestrated me,myself and mic screening room!

    They were both elected on looks and charm. One is truly charming the other one is using charm to decieve. A rose is still a rose

    Different paths, same results.Skerrit is still a man no less than Obama.

    These are beautiful pictures of the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Dominica.
    It is my feeling that the PM greeted the President courteously and thanked him for financially assisting Dominica. Consider the recent loan. Did anyone of you thought of that?
    Setting aside some of the U.S. policies, President Obama is a regular person. He is easy going, loves people and loves meeting people. He and the PM make great partners.
    There is no doubt that the PM was happy and proud to meet the President. Great moments to remember.

    Trivial matter. Wouldn’t it be more important news to know that Skerritt engaged Obama seeking to deepen relations, seeking meaningful economic assistanceand so on? What is the purpose really of just a photo showing Skerritt with Obama. What fruitful discussions they had?

    Remember the pressures Obama gets from Republicans? Remember how Donald Trump, Republican millionaire, tried to ridicule Obama as regards his place of birth, until Obama dished out his birth certificate for all to see? Wasn’t Trump expected to invest in Dominica? where is that investment? When is that Republican investor coming?

    Is Obama regarded as our true friend or is he being dismissed as the President of an imperialist country? The photo is just a show. Nothing else to show. What was the outcome of the summit? A photo showing Obama and Skerritt? Come better than that my people. The DLP Govt. has abandoned Rosie Douglas’ vision of engaging with the Black caucus and the democrats headed by Obama. In fact, Skerritt has distanced himself from Obama, the first black President of the US.

    The US is aware of all those culprits who have bought our diplomatic immunity and in possession of our sacred diplomatic passports. At least, one or two of those non-Dominican Ambassadors were refused US visas. why? Never forget those things my people. Are the authorities still seeking help from the FBI or other relevant bodies from the US to get ‘Seco’ back to Dominica from where he is in the US? Obama could easily help us in that regard.

      Pray that no weapon formed against PM Skerrit will prosper and any tongue that rise up in judgement shall be condemned in the name of the Most High God. Pray for The leaders of your country instead of thinking negative, according to the word of God.

        allyu people really wicked wi. so u saying that d african slaves of the past should have just pray for their masters and accept slavery instead of liberating themselves according to the great bob”some people think great god will come from the sky take away everything and make everybody feel high but if u know what life is worth you would look for yours on earth and now u see the light, stand up for your rights” so get up and stand up my bro instead of relegating yourself to the ranks of rabid partisan support so much so that you are willing to compromise the truth of God and the aspirations of man. here u are willing to curse your brothers for the sake of a man. pray for yourself because thats all we can do in this world we only have to answer for our deeds not others.

      What is wrong with you people? You’re dissing your prime minister in favor of a man who cares nothing about the caribbean. The US CARES NOTHING about they Caribbean including Dominica! The first thing Obama did when he got into power was to try to undermine the offshore industry in the caribbean.

President Obama was as pleased to meet Prime Minister Skerrit and vice versa. Who is comparing himself to whom? Your limited mind, thoughts and imagination are at play here and wickedly so.
