Symptom of our decay and decadence
I have resisted spending any time deliberating on the President Richards fiasco because I see him as a tragic and pitiful victim of PNM politics on whom any argument about morality and ethics - or even service to country, would be totally lost. Ref. Source 5
I only heard part of Pres. Richards' speech in parliament but I'm happy that he knocked the government for being out of touch with the needs of the people.
I wasn't impressed because he can say whatever he wants, in the end he has no power to do anything about it so basically Manning listens and laughs.
President Richards chose to focus on the women of Trinidad & Tobago in his welcoming into office our new Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. I wonder if the people who met at the President's House were worried if the roof would cave in on them*.
* Recently the roof on part of President's House caved in and the house was demed not suitable for habitation.
I don't know if is such a good idea to focus on the fact that our new Prime Minister happens to be a woman. I don't think this should be a gender issue. As long as you can do the work, does not matter anything else.
President Richards looked happy in some parts and sad in another.
