US President Barack Obama and Belize’s Prime Minister Dean Barrow shared
a table at the official Summit of the Americas dinner in Port of Spain, Trinidad
on Saturday night and it seems they hit it off. This picture of President Obama
kissing Prime Minister Dean Barrow’s wife, Kim Simplis-Barrow taken at
that event made the paper in Trinidad and has also appeared on the internet,
most notably the much-trafficked blog, the Huffington Post.
Today’s Amandala cites Prime Minister Barrow saying that, quote, “He
said that he’d love to come to Belize.” And more than that, he says
that President Obama will nominate a very good friend to be ambassador to Belize
and, quote, “that will make it easier for him to work on the logistics
of coming to Belize.” Sounds like something, but all the same, we’ll
wait and see on that one....
Obama’s was reported to be taking a one thousand member delegation to
the Summit of the America’s and booked an entire 380 room hotel for the
event.
