Foreign developers alway come to the Bahamas under the guise of sparking the economy. But as we all know, NONE of these so called benefits ever trickles down to the common citizen. Foreign companies bribe our politicians, make their money, and then leave. The only foreign contract that was worthwhile and benefited Bahamians, was Sun International's Atlantis Resort.
Yeah.... anti American was a strong term to use. But Fred Mitchell does seem opposed to certain American policies such as transparency and accountability. Like sheeprunner12 stated, he is highly allergic to common sense. Anywhere he encounters common sense and logic he need a dose of Benadryl or some other antihistamine to fight the effects. Fred Mitchell is a vintage idiot. And don't forget... PM Hubert Ingraham made Brent Symonette resign that contract because it was a huge conflict of interest. I doubt that Perry Christie would have shown such leadership. After all, he was about to allow Leslie Miller to rent a space to Betelco!
Interesting words, Hogfish. You make a lot of valid claims. But while the FNM does deserve some credit for establishing infrastructure, they also deserve a certain level of criticism for the careless way in which they disregarded the immediate concerns of the people. Furthermore, no matter the disagreement, job opportunities should always go to your fellow countryman rather than a foreigner (especially during a financial recession). Many small businesses suffered due to the road works while Hubert Ingrham and Tommy Turnquest appeared apathetic to their plight. The FNM is the entire reason why the PLP was voted back into power. They were just down right offensive.

That's right! The average Bahamian could NOT get a job when Hubert Ingrham was in power! But yet, foreigners were raking in loads of cash.
