Prime minister Roosevelt Skerrit announced the date for elections at a public rally in Mahaut.

General elections set for December 18, 2009

With general elections constitutionally due in May 2010, prime minister Roosevelt Skerrit made a surprise announcement on Thursday stating that the next General Elections in Dominica will be held on Friday, December 18, 2009. The announcement was made by the prime minister as he addressed a public meeting in Mahaut on Thursday night.

General election is not on Santa’s list but on prime minister Skerrit’s

An election at the height of the Christmas season is cruel-plain and simple. It shows that our country is devoid and bankrupt of any real leadership. Christmas is a time to step back and think about what’s important to us at this time -family, forgiveness, and love for country. Elections are the most divisive time for our small country where the beastie nature of our side comes out.

Grading President Barack Obama

Contrary to what the title of my lecture says, I am not going to grade President Obama. Instead I will leave it up to the audience to formulate their own opinion based on what I have to say. I do believe that the election of President Obama has created a new climate in US relations with the rest of the world and is a major departure from what we endured during the last eight years. I am sure everyone will agree with me that President Obama is a significant improvement over Bush.
