Remove The Barricade & Let The President See The Poverty!

Remove The Barricade & Let The President See The Poverty!

Word on the street and on Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn-New York City, is that the Trinidad & Tobago government, erected barricades along the route to the Capital City-Port Au Spain in Trinidad & Tobago. This was done to shut out the social embarrassment that the government does not want president Obama to see en route to the Capital City.

Now why would the Trinidad government be embarrassed about this social-economic malady?  

President Obama also have relatives living in poverty in Kenya, and is fully aware of the social-economic conditions there too. Trying to hide the reality of poverty among the people will not create a favorable impression of Trinidad & Tobago. 

In fact, it may very well cause the president pause, on his assessment about who and what this Caribbean administration really is about. And if their is credibility in any future dealings with it.

Tell president Obama that we too have our Ghettoes, and impoverished peoples, and are desperately trying to lift our people collectively, out of social and economic poverty.
