It is quite evident now that the Prime Minister is a very desperate man, willing to say and/or do anything in order to deflect from his failings and the failings of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP); no matter how silly it may sound or how silly it would appear to be.

“PM suggests Dr. Minnis can’t articulate, grasp complex issues” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “The perceived inability of Free National Movement (FNM) Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis to represent Bahamians on the international stage with distinction has emerged as a central theme of Prime Minister Perry Christie’s election campaign message, with Christie saying yesterday that a prime minister needs to be able to articulate the way he is able to understand global issues.

Christie and Education Minister Jerome Fitzgerald both submitted Minnis is not that man.

‘You can’t camouflage a leader who can’t come here and talk this way,’ said Christie at a Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) town hall at the University of the Bahamas (UB).’

Speak in which way?

In the fashion of a ‘Candy Mouth’ speaker, all sweet talk but really just full of air and without substance?

Is this what the Bahamian people want to continue to present to the world?

Is this the perception that The Bahamas would want the world to have of us?

Prime Minister Christie speaks of Dr. Minnis’ ‘perceived inability…..to represent Bahamians on the international stage with distinction’, and this is exactly what it is a ‘perceived inability’, because as the prime minister would suggest, ‘…a prime minister needs to be able to articulate the way he is able to understand global issues’, in which case, he [Prime Minister Christie] must then admit that he has not done a good job at his himself; with his talks with Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s  and his negotiations in the Baha Mar situations being prime examples of him not being able to ‘articulate the way he is able to understand global issues’.

It is indeed a shame that our prime minister has not realized that most of the people that he speaks to have caught on to his ‘game’.  They have come to realize that his ostentatious colloquy lacks one basic element; substance.

So we have placed a man on the international stages who is able to speak very well but really says nothing and the Progressive Liberal Party would like to highlight his shortcoming, dust it off and count it as a reason as to why the people of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas should return him to office.

Only in an alternative/parallel universe does this reasoning make sense.

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
