If you read the Bahamian Constitution you would know that the Bahamas does not allow one to hold dual citizenship and run for office. However, other countries do not hold to that. For instance, an African woman was elected to Parliament in Italy. The only position necessary for you to be BORN in America for you to hold, is the Presidency. If Calvin is ambitious, blessed and fortunate enough, he can go as high as the vice President but never President. Please learn world politics and history before making snide remarks.
BTW, the point of this article is to inform the public of the historic nature of Mr Turnquest's campaign. If he is elected, he will be the first Caribbean born, not just Bahamian born, to be elected to US Congress.
We all can't be leaders but when you don't step up, don't tear down those who make the sacrifice.

I'm sorry but you don't have to "believe" in it. It's just the way it is... People feel a need to place labels. I don't think Calvin ever claimed to be "Bahamian-American." And I know he hates being called "African-American." But that's how the media labels him. I think he would classify himself as Bahamian with US Citizenship, living in America or if you ask him, he would say that after 25 years living in America, that he is American of Bahamian Heritage.

You sir are what's wrong with our country. You complain about everything, have nothing positive to say and you wonder why the country is the way it is. Politicians emulate what the public does. If we cannot get along, even within our own community, how do you expect our leaders change. You're being hypocritical. You talk about the TEA Party being extreme, how are you any different than an extreme liberal?

God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. Listen twice as much as you speak and you just might learn something.
