What the former Prime Minister has done for North Abaco, this current Prime Minister and his parliamentary colleagues can see, touch and feel for themselves. If the current Prime Minister truly believes in Bahamians, he should have an historic cabinet meeting in his constituency and South Andros so that their constituents and the Bahamian people could see, touch and feel what they have done.

Hubert Ingraham did the same thing when he had the grand opening of the stadium in Nassau, which was really a FNM rally because he didn't even invite on of our finest athlete to it, because they got wind that she supported another party. This practice should be condemn but by both parties.

numerous times HAI ,said the stadium opening was for everyone ,is this claim of him not inviting an athlete rumor or are these facts ....spoiter you claim i and biased ,i make no bones about it i,m an HAI supporter ,more so than FNM ,,Even he was not perfect , spoiter did you vote in 2012 ,??if so you are biased toward that party or leader . there are fnms i don,t care for that much ,but we both know its the PM we vote for ,,so far i like Doc Minnis ,i would vote for him over PGC in 2017 ,if the plp run someone else or if PGC really did something this time to impress me then i would have to rethink my position ..

I said you were bias a long time ago on a past article, on this one I was just pointing out that both parties need to stop playing this game. Debbie Ferguson Mckenzie wasn't invited to the grand opening of the stadium because it was said that she supported another party, which is terribly wrong because she is one of our greatest athlete, and from what I see I don't support neither party I would go for the new comer in the DNA.

My thousands of Comrades who have joined in reading my "non-bias" blogs, will know that even before the "lawyer/fisherman" rung the Decision Day 2012 Bell, I strongly advocated that if Comrade Christie was successful in bringing down his former law partner's red shirts regime, that he should "take his Cabinet meetings to a minimum of the four major Family Islands, being Abaco, Grand Bahama, Eleuthera and Andros.

Unfortunately, for the 'fisherman/lawyer' he on this day can only sit back and watch PM Christie's Cabinet motorcade make it's way from the Marsh Harbor airport to hold this historic Cabinet being called into Session in Abaco; something he failed to do in all them years he bragged so much about bringing transparency to his red shirts regime.

Now, he former, trusted law partner going let him go fishing, while he tends to fixing da things, things he was so damn excellent at patching-up with he borrowing 'Billions' to apply his band aid fixes.

Thousands across Bahamaland decided PM Christie was the man to fix things...not Papa. That's why on any given day. the fired PM can be seen selling he fishes catch from back he vehicle.

This has be an historic 'one-up' for Abaco, from way back ever since Bahamaland was colonized by the British in 1718.

Lord the person says comrade. Is this animal farm? Who are Old Major, Napoleon and Snowball? This act of desperation shows what it has been since election, a complete and utter failure intent on satisfying the few while the masses suffer. It is a sad day in this country when we cannot see these political tactics as what they are, a waste of the public purse.

Fact remains Christie and his crew can hold this so-called historic meeting because of the accomplishments of the former PM and his efforts to uplift and modernize Abaco. I wonder if Farm Road residents feel the same way about the contributions from their MP who is PM.

Just maybe, now that none other than the morning daily has started to use their journalistic shovels to dig deep into exactly who in the hell is this man Gomez, who was suddenly anointed by the lawyer/fisherman from Cooper's Town, an recent former resident of the USA?

They even have the "New" Hubert A doing his own DNA's 'Bran" style flip-flop on what he actually 'didn't' mean when he spoke about his new colleague's 'former' employment?

And, we all know ya gotta be damn good to out flip-flop our buddy Comrade Bran? He's da best Bahamaland has ever seen on the political front when it comes to correcting what he said but didn't actually mean what he said?

Comrades dee plot tickens in Cooper's Town ..shouldn't the red shirts have known what mess of things they Papa is so good at making for they political lives?

Like I keep on saying...you just can't make this 'Gong' show stuff up.
