Washington.- President Barack Obama’s choice as Ambassador in the Dominican Republic appeared on Thursday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he listed his priorities once confirmed in the diplomatic post.
Raul Yzaguirre thanked Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton for having the confidence in him to fill the position in Santo Domingo, vacant for almost than one year after the departure of Robert Fanning.
“The President has offered me an excellent opportunity when he named me for the post of Ambassador in the Dominican Republic. I’ve worked many years for the rights of the people in the United States and sometimes, in association with Congress, with people who make up this Committee,” Yzaguirre said, adding that if confirmed as Ambassador, would continue his efforts, “for the President and the people of the United States.”
“If confirmed, and with the consent of the Dominican political structure, I also hope to approach the political parties to congratulate them for their progress in consolidating democratic ideals by staging free and fair elections, and to offer them training to strengthen the political parties or technical assistance in the electoral area,” the ambassador-designate said in an statement emailed by the State Department.
“In this manner I hope to be able to strengthen the advances which the Dominicans themselves have achieved in the last two decades in relation to electoral reform,” Yzaguirre said.

"Ahora Juan Bosch duerme tendido en el indomeñable lecho de sus frustraciones. La corrupción en el gobierno del partido que él fundó es equivalente, o superior, a la que él combatió con su prédica y su ejemplo de vida, en los gobiernos del PRSC o el PRD; y su sueño de convertir el partido en un proyecto social se desmigaja en los numerosos proyectos individuales de enriquecimiento personal de la pequeña burguesía del PLD.

If it would have saved even one more US soldier's life I would have dropped 100 bombs on Japan.

You have no idea how much I'm looking forward for the Congressional elections to come about. You'd think that their lost of the Massachusetts seat would have awakened the democrat jackasses about the need of paying more attention to domestic matters, but it seems that an even more rude of an awakening is in order.

He sounds pretty good to me:
One of the most high-profile Hispanics in the United States due to his outspoken advocacy of the interests of Mexican-Americans and the creation of a pluralistic society that prides itself on its cultural diversity, Raul Yzaguirre was president of the National Council of La Raza, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, for three decades. Representing the interests of his constituents in education, immigration, and in other social policy matters, he devoted his energies to improving the opportunities for Hispanic Americans as that group became a growing and increasingly influential sector of the U.S. population during the late 20th century.

I' m not sure if you are familiar with the speech given in 1963 at The UN General assembly by the king of kings him self Ras Tafari better know to the world as The Emperor Haile Selassie. The text of that speech was turn into a song in 1976 by the late great Robert Nestor Marley, the tittle of that song is War. It quickly became the anthem of the oppressed throughout the world. As a black man first a Haitian second that speech and that song have been the battle cry of my existance. So yes the ascendancy of Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency of the United States, leader of the free world is above and beyond my national interests for the world have never stop to remind me I'm a nigga first.

If something, you should really wake up and smell the coffee, cuz' if there's something that Obama have shown thus far is that he's a WASP in a mixed race body. Proof of this is that he hasn't backpedaled on ANY single point of the past administration's agenda, from the rescue of the corporations under the current crisis to the maintainment of the war policy in Afghanistan. The Nobel people were just a bunch of morons to have awarded him the prize without waiting for his administration to show its true colors, no pun intended. For all intends and purposes, Obama has proven to be the contrary to what you are, that is, he's an american first and THEN he's an afram, as it should have been the case with the rest of that ethnicity in the first place.

Right now I consider the republicans to be the lesser of two evils, cuz' all that this party ever cares about is protecting Israel at any and all costs, including leaving Latin America to fend for itself, which suits me just fine.
