The PM should control herself
Dear Editor,
I find it funny how the country is sliding into a great recession, yet Her Majesty’s loyal servant has found time to label the leader of the Opposition as an enemy of the State. Young people are wondering about their future, the working poor is been pushed into poverty and the private sector is looking overseas for options.
We need a leader who understands the issues, one who can deal with the affairs of the nation and not political rhetoric, especially when she is among the raucous crowd of PNP partisans. I am tired of her “cussing out” anyone barely critical of her. One could hear her temper rising as her breathing became unsteady. It’s unbecoming of her. The PNP needs to rein her in and spare the country further embarrassment. (I am suggesting that Mr Paulwell could be appointed PM in the interim)
I pity the PM as I think she really knows no better. I do not believe she could truly understand the magnitude of the label “enemy of the State” and so casually refers to the Opposition leader as such.
Repeatedly the PM has proven that she is not able to deal with the pressure that comes with the office she was so eager to hold. She has also proven time and again that once she lifts her head to stop reading from her prepared script, she is no longer capable of controlling what leaves her mouth. She needs anger-management classes as well as lessons in diplomacy. I shudder to imagine just how her contemporaries around the region really see her. God help Jamaica.
I will readily admit that actions of many past and current politicians have proven injurious to the welfare of the State, but to label the individual as an enemy of the State is a grave designation to which none should be so tarnished, especially from the prime minister of a country.
I recommend that the prime minister should spend some time with the private sector creating some real jobs, cut the side-of-the-wall unit/breakfront to that of a productive Cabinet and meet with the IMF to try and learn something useful.
My God man!
