I'm just learning about Trumph financial involvements in the Bahamas. I am certain that Trumph is a very unscrupulous business man. I am sorry for that. I understand more of some of the reactions. In this matter, I am totally uniformed. I am truly sorry for offending anyone. As I said our choices we not good this election. I know when to shut up. I'll not respond to any other comments on this matter.

No one wants to change The Social Security Act! We pay into out of our pay checks every week. We never touch the money. And at age 62 - 65 we can start drawing our SSI check. No one wants to change that. Medicare Insurance Health Care is also offered at that time for our seniors and disabled. We also have SSI for those with Disabilities whether that is illness or just born with something wrong with them. We also have section 8 for housing that the government pays for, and it's nice housing. If your disabled there is a program here to take care of you. That isn't even being looked at to change. Socialism that I'm talking about is where they take all of our citizens money and disburse them among the citizens. Like in China they tell you what job you have to work, where you have to live and what you eat. They take 80% of what you earn and control your life. This kind of control is what Americans were beginning to fear.The Right to Bear Arms is another thing that the Democrats want to change. If we do this only the criminals will have protection. It shows in cities here where there is gun control the crime is out of control. Example Chicago, N Y City Only the gangs have guns and people die daily for no cause. I'm sorry to offend anyone for expressing how I see it. Our choices weren't good for this election, but I don't think Hillary was the answer.

Maybe you know John Braynen. If you do ask him if he would mind you telling me where he is. He was called John Boy back then, and was in a band called John Boy and the Mustangs. He worked at the Holiday Inn for years. He knew my mother and I. I loved him although I was very immature or I probably would of never left. I would love to reunite with him again. My name is Lisa Harris.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I like Obama. There are certain beliefs that he has that is not what I would like to see in America. You John can come to America and be what you want to be. This is what we fought for when we left England. My dad fought on the front lines in World War two for 4 years for this country. I don't know why Obama leans toward a socialist system. In America if you work hard you can be anything you want. Yes, I am white and you probably won't believe me, I am not racist at all! Why do you think I read the Tribune everyday. I have been in love with a black man for more than 30 years. Absolutely treasure him. Actually his name is John and I met him in Freeport 30 years ago. Unfortunately I'm not rich and I can not work in the Bahamas. Actually I'm not sure where he is now. I understand in Nassau. I saw him in the newspaper one day last fall at the Beres Hammond concert. Any little thing to make me feel close to him once again. My granddaughter is biracial. You come to my house and you find all races here. I do not see color. This time about me John your wrong. I just want our Constitution upheld. Obama stated it was outdated now and wanted to throw it out and start over. That isn't the country we want, Freedom is what it's about.

You guys have it all wrong. Obama was not disliked because of his race. American's broke records on voter turnout. All races. Trump won because the democrats we not listening to the people. One big example Obama Care, we didn't want it, so he just said screw you and signed a executive order. Insurance has tripled in price and covers less. Deductibles quadrupled. They want a one payer system socialized medicine. When your old they will just keep you comfortable. We fought for our freedoms. The democrats want this to be a socialist country. America is the home of the free. Our men died for these rights. We're not going to watch them striped away. It had nothing to do with race.

ashley14 says...

The Voters have spoken! America doesn't want a socialized society. We don't want government control. Welcome Trump! Now we have our America back.

Trump won't be a threat to the Bahamas. I believe he would help anyone that is trying to help themselves. He is for success. He is not afraid of failing, but if he does he doesn't give up he tries again. Look at his children. They are respectable, hard workers with a big heart. The Bahamas economically needs a source of income besides tourism. Tourism is great but what about in the lean times. A family can't go without income for two months after a hurricane hits the islands. As if you didn't know that. There needs to be some industry with fair wages for its employees. I don't know what, but I believe there are smarter people then me that could figure out. Work out of fla and go home whenever you want. I know you can come here as a student and lots stay to fulfill their dreams for their families. I want the best for all. I love the Bahamian people and it breaks my heart to read what some of the citizens go thru. Then when someone says why is the crime so high. It's easy they have given up. They have no dreams for their future. I believe that could change back to family first and love for one another.

By the way, foreigners move here also to enjoy our freedom and make a life for their families that they have always wanted. Anyone can do this. Mentioning prejudice America is better than it ever has been. This generation doesn't see color. I work in the school system and it's really not here anymore. Our problems with President Obama isn't his color, it's his lack of listening to the people.

ashley14 says...

Your right this presidential election is like no other in my lifetime. I am American. You hit the nail on the head. We are not happy with the way this country is going. The Obama Administration has begun the process of stripping our civil liberties. He started Obama Care, American didn't want it. He signed it in with executive order. It has as predicted sky rocketed medical costs and medical insurance. Doctors are quitting. Care isn't as good and you can't afford insurance. It was designed to fail, we knew it. The democrats want a one payer system. In other words socialized medicine. It doesn't work. Look at Canada, the waiting lists, Canadians coming to the U S and paying out of their pockets for procedures that the waiting lists are so long in Canada. The Democrats want to turn America into a socialist country. That's not what our Ancestors fought for. America was founded on Freedom. You can be what you want in America. The Democrats want to take it all away. Freedom of Speech, Right to bear Arms etc. I pray Trump wins. I want our children to grow up with the same rights that we have enjoyed.

It just breaks my heart to think I might never see him again. Please help if you know him. I believe he would be glad to see me again. Mom is gone now. She would be happy if we reconnected. I have missed him and thought of him often.
