The Big Difference is that Obama quickly showed himself to be a leader.

Since Minnis failed then I think LBT is correct to make a bid for a leaderless party.

Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Angelica Merkel all would have and did.

"Couriers are a new business" You have got to be joking, or are you just that slow.

Economist says...

Why are you even contesting it?

You had 2 years as Leader. You failed to discharge your duty as Leader.

When you were elected, I had no problem with you as Leader. If you had discharged your duty, many people, like myself, would have been supporting you today and there would be no challenge.

Your failure, after a full 18 months as Leader, to fill the position led me to look for a replacement or another party. I was frustrated with waiting for you to show some leadership.

If you are re-elected I will not be voting FNM. Not only do I have no faith in you now, but I don't think that you have a grasp of what is really needed to save our Bahamas.

This was first suggested over 10 years ago. Other countries have already put their laws in place and have got most of the market. All we will get are the scraps.
