Juan Bosch was a Freemason as was Duarte,Guzman,Mella and every founder of the western world government. Leonel is not a Freemason and wishes he had the soul of Juan Bosch and connection to the creator that JB had. The only thing Leonel has of JB is a Dominican passport.

The Truth,

You have said it all!

Let me just add that Lie-onel Fernandez is just a "has been, that never was, and never will be!"

Simple put he is just a legend in his own mind!

We're not in the 1960's or the 1950's anymore. Trujillo, Bosch, Balaguer, Peña Goméz are all dead, we need new leadership.

LF is no Prof. Juan, furthermore he never will be. He has taken the PLD, a party dedicated to serving the country at its founding, and turned it into a mirror image of every other political party in the country, dedicated to serving themselves. The fact that he even made this comment in insulting and base, and only helps tarnish the good Professor's legacy.

TheTruth,

I see you are a traveling man. :)

The God complex... What an idiot.

Check him for tertiary syphilis.

For a failed President he sure loves himself.

He is the incarnate of either Moe, Curly, or Larry.

Blasphemy, how dare he??? This is getting ridiculous. If JB had been allowed to go through with his reform, we would have been such a different(better) country.

only a very perverted man can do that speech, the real thing is ,her new partner, the star, has all the govs contracts and without any other people or company oportunity to bid , a very corrupted way to run the state issues, but the dominican people elected her for another period, we must wait three more years to change it, sorry babes, excuse my english, its not good
manolin

I disagree with Leonel. How can he say that he's the reincarnation of Juan Bosch? When Bosch founded the PLD it was a leftist democratic socialist party. Nowadays its platform is more centrist and I worry that it's continuing to gravitate to the right. Hopefully it won't turn into a fascist right-wing party like the doomed PRSC.

Is that guy nuts or what he will never be Juan Bosh, he is not fit to be in the same room as Juan Bosh

BTW

R.I.P Michael Jackson, we had fun man :(

This is disrespect to the man that gave his whole life to the Dominican Republic and the people of the Dominican Republic.
Don’t get me wrong Leonel Fernandez has tried to help the Dominican Republic. But his privatization, Lack of will to deal with crime and Corruption with in his administration makes him fall way far from Juan Bosch.
Like Juan Bosch there is no other.
If you where to see the documentary but Rene Furtunato about Juan Bosch and compare it to LF. There is no doubt that LF could not even fit in his shoes.

Juan Bosch had to deal with Trujillo, Cuba’s dictator Batista and a C.I.A. sponsored Coup.
What has LF have to deal with?
Corruptions by his own Party and himself “Sunland” for example, when LF makes statements like this he is insulting the memory of Juan Bosch and the intelligence of Dominicans.

Chillaxin- you are the only one on here that knows... desde cuando el buen Profe, nuestro pueblo a estado asarao' ese fue el punto en cual no' jodimos. LF se ha cagao' en la memoria de JB. Coño como puede ese animal, que uso a el Profe. para su propia ganancia, hacer esa comparacion? Es simple una insulta a la memoria de el gran Juan Bosch. El motto de el PLD, "A servir al partido para servir al pueblo." Y ahora? Serviendose del pueblo asi como Trujillo y Balaguer. No te olvide, Bosch fundo el PRD, y despues el PLD cuando el mismo PRD se lleno con ladrones. Pero siempre fue un hombre decente e astuto. Imaginate, Elias Wessin y Wessin que tuvo parte en el golpe de estado contra Bosch y despues se iso miembro de el PRD. La ironia, la tristesa, Bosch siempre dedicado a su gente las misma gente que le faltaron- menos los guerilleros, la juventud, y los campesinos como mi abuelo en pleito por defensa de la constitucion.

Why on earth are Dominicans always looking at the past and past leaders???? The country is still poor and underdevelopped! Please look at the future.

Juan Bosh, Balaguer, Peña Gomez, non of them came with ideas to solve the problems of water and electricity or education that has our nation. There is really no reason to put those men on a pedestal.

Providing basic necessities to the people in a country really is not that hard. I mean come on guys, what are we, retards? This is not rocket science! Just make sure the distribution network infrastructure is up to date, make sure that the company which is providing the electricity buys effectively and efficiently. And make it accountable. If you don't pay, you don't get it. If you pay and you don't get it, you get your money back.

"Juan Bosh, Balaguer, Peña Gomez, non of them came with ideas to solve the problems of water and electricity or education that has our nation. There is really no reason to put those men on a pedestal. " - i agree.

Therefore Fernandez probably is Bosch reincarnate

Fernandez says he’s Bosch reincarnate if that is possible does that make the Hippo the reincarnation of Bozo the clown ?

Reminds me of when Chavez says he can feel the presence of Simon Bolivar in the room with him and why he always has the chair to his right empty so he can attend the meetings if he wishes. Nancy Reagan and Elanor Roosavelt spoke to mediums and Astrologers, but then again they were not heads of state.

I do not understand why Dominican love so much old leadership. Out Juan Bosch, Balaguer, and the rest caused the Dominican Republic to be in crisis for many years. They even caused the invasion of the DR several times. I agree with Truji post where he mentioned that we need new leadership. We need to look forward and not back. The world is changing and new financial reforms and leaderships are needed in order to take the country out of poverty. Bosch was focused on socialism while Balaguer was in maintaining an oligarchy system that he could control. Our country is a capitalist country where everyone must have the same opportunities and the government must promote equality among all. Leonel, Estrella, Hipolito, and Miguel should step out and let others to lead. We must watch Leonel very close because he changing democratic ideas for others not so favorable to the country.

leo is a freaking lunatic, he doesn't have a hair of JB intelectual prowess, politico extraordinario founder of the two main political parties in DR, and a man dedicated to public service and government for the people. And most important what separated JB from the rest of his political peers is the fact the he wasn't a caudillo like balaguer and all others before him.

You need to know where your coming from in order to know where your going.

Leonel only wishes he would be like Bosch it will never be Leonel face reality!!!!!

What I find disgusting is that no one walked out of that hall. It only shows the state of politics in the good old DR.

The only thing Leonel has in common with Bosch is that they both put their pants on one leg at a time.......

Leonel need only look out the windows of his office to see the suffering of the Dominican people under his leadership.
