Another one again! Just by looking at The Tribune online front page i was able to correctly predict another Ortland Bodie authored letter. My only suggestion to him is that he should end his letters with ," as in all things, to the PLP be the glory."
I think the criticism leveled at Culmer is rooted is bias. I think he explained what he went through lucidly and it was obviously done to try and project an atmosphere of party unity. Having not done so would have only made matters worse for the FNM. The article did its purpose to show the type of person that Minnis became when he got more powerful. We all know of many instances when Minnis believed he needed nobody besides someone who would tell him how great he was. Just how Culmer spoke of when he knew of the early election call,a cabinet minister at the time told Minnis that he heard that a lockdown would soon be inforced,to which he responded in denial,but two hours later he was on ZNS announcing an immediate country wide lockdown.
Dr. Minnis was given a chance ,but his leadership had failed miserably. It was obvious to all and sundry that a mistake was made, from the time of Loretta Butler and onwards. He was shown to be one who could not think on his feet, hence no more press conferences as they they almost always were an embarrassment for him.I sincerely believe that he did not take on the minister of finance portfolio because he could not handle it. The icing on the cake was when he called an early election ,because it showed how out of touch he was,as it was quite obvious to everyone besides himself that the F.N.M. was in for a serious cut ass,though i did not think it would have been as bad as it was.When he spoke of "during our next term in office", i used to tell my friends that i could just see him opening the office door in his white coat ,clipboard in hand shouting,"Next!"
One of the first things second home owners are told in Eleuthera is to buy a generator and install a water tank. the locals say that the situation has worsened since ' the new day'.
News organizations always do that deliberately to get your attention ,then when you read the article,you notice the difference,but they do not care because they got what they wanted.
I hope you see why i would not support him as prime minister again. after all of that Minnis was not smart enough to get the license plate number....wow!
Not again Bodie!! I can just look at the headline and tell you are the author of a letter to the editor. Stop it man! If you are not now,you should have been a grandfather long time.If only for their sake, show some backbone ,albeit curved at your 3 score and 10 years plus.
Just highlighting Birdie's response to this article shows PLP cult like thinking. I spoke with over a dozen of my PLP acquaintances at the time and i was dumfounded that not one of them had a problem with the signs being erected . My 10 year old grandson said at the time that it would frighten visitors and make them either stay in their hotels or go back home,but here is Birdie defending an eminent attorney who would later become leader of my beloved Bahamas,on his not being able to understand what a 10 year old could....only in The Bahamas.
