Millions of young children are living in peril and dying of starvation in many African countries. Surely you recognize that while we can feel for their plight and pray for them, there is little else we can do as a country given our very limited resources and serious economic problems. Minnis cannot tell the many thousands of under-privileged and suffering Bahamians, whose lives are imperiled by a lack of food, clean potable water, shelter, electricity and medicines, that our government has very limited resources to help them and then at the same time exacerbate the daily problems experienced by these very same poor Bahamians by opening our country's doors to non-Bahamians in what will undoubtedly prove to be a costly way. Minnis must regret his failure to realize that Bahamians are tired of playing second fiddle to corrupt politicians, exploitative foreign investors, illegal immigrants, etc. etc. But wait, isn't that why we the people elected him? How can he possibly justify putting the needs of others above the equally important and just as serious needs of our own suffering people?

Why don't you post a pic taken of just one strong visionary leader of a country in the free world while he or she was shedding tears in public? Good luck finding one other than possibly a religious leader like the Pope who is head of the Vatican State.

Stop playing the Christian card.....look where that got us with all our problems arising from unchecked Haitian illegal immigrants.

Real men and women aren't afraid of tears, but when you're a national leader there's a proper place and time to shed them.....and none of those times and places should be in the public unless he or she is incapable of controlling his or her emotions which is never a good thing for a national leader. Minnis can always have a tearful one-on-one chat with his minister, pastor or priest or at home with his spouse.

Is this crying wimp for real! We thought we had elected a new leader with the strength and vision to effect much needed change for the thousands of Bahamians who can no longer make ends meet and who daily go without food, water, shelter and medicines that they so desperately need. Why has Minnis never openly shed any tears for his own people?! Spare us the tearful theatrics Minnis - we want and need a strong leader! We have thousands of struggling Bahamian families and street people who feel as if they are living daily in the aftermath of a major hurricane. We have innocent children being killed on a regular basis by unchecked crime. Wake up Minnis! We don't need your tears...we need your good judgement and leadership. For Pete's sake, please just resign if you're now not up to the task of the office you ran for!!!

You should have also mentioned those ridiculous diplomat abroad appointments.....like Sidney Collie to Washington D.C......now that's a real joke. Minnis should know that certain warped souls should be kept nearby given their propensity to cause much mischief and trouble in the most vulnerable of places, like D.C.. It's well known Sidney likes condo properties and has royally shafted many a condo association by not paying his monthly maintenance fees. Has anyone checked recently to see how much Collie owes in Real Property Taxes, etc.? Does he have any delinquent amounts owing to the bank of The Bahamas? This is one fella Minnis should not take his eye off of....sending Collie to D.C. is just one more major error in judgement by Minnis that will undoubtedly come back to haunt Minnis in a most serious way. Collie is Collie if you know what I mean....he just can't help himself!

The writing was long ago on the wall when it became much easier for Bahamians residing abroad to open bank accounts in the developed countries than it is for Bahamians living in the Bahamas to open bank accounts in their own country. Truly a sad state of affairs!

You should have also mentioned the appointment of KP Turnquest as Minister of Finance. He sorely lacks the core competencies and leadership skills necessary to make the tough decisions that must be made to shrink the bloated size of our government and reduce our national debt.

Davis is a bald-faced liar of the highest order! I remember him standing in parliament and saying without any hesitation whatsoever that the building destroyed by the Bamsi fire was insured. Come to find out there was no insurance.

The FATF and it Caribbean affiliate (CFATF) should be told to .............. !! Even if we were fully compliant, they would simply move the goal posts on us and find something else to complain about. Our banking industry has been crippled by all of the costs associated with being made to jump through their endless series of hoops, costs that our banks pass on to their customers (us) by way of their ever increasing exorbitant fees. But that has always been the objective of the FATF from the very outset - cripple our banking industry, both offshore and onshore!
