79% approval, really? Where did they conduct the survey? more smoking mirrors and government BS. Leonel is going above and beyond to bend the truth...

No, that can't be 79%? BS.

The only thing this guy did was build things, that's it; everything else was a mess; from education, crime, government corruption, drugs, to immigration. He leaves a country full of Haitians and the drug trade higher than ever.

How many times did josean vote?

Hey guys last week the radio talk show El Govierno de La Manana did a survey on the president approval rating and the rating were, Gold, Silver and Brounce medal. 20 callers where allowed to vote for one of the above medal and guess what? out of 20 callers Leonel got 14 Gold Medals and 6 Brounce medals which cause Alvaro Arvelo to almost have a heart attack as he is a very good and closed friend of Hipolito. Alvaro even said that someone within the radio station manipulated the calls something totally out of line because the producer of the sho Willy Rodriguez whom I know personal and the majority of the team are pro Hipolito. So I say yes to the 79% approval rating. Remember that during the last election all the negative were against Leonel Gorvernment and not against Danilo another reason why the Hipo group lost the election by attacking Leonel instead of going after Danilo.

79% approval, Just shows how stupid Dominicans are. Christ what ass holes.

you know what that means lady an gents he will be presdeidnt again lol..2016 PLD again and again and again..

With the education level so low due to LF's screwing with the funds, the people conducting this poll had a problem with percentages. They mistakenly thought that 79 out of 1000 equals 79%.

This must be the same polling firm Sadam Hussein used!

The construction, the improvement of the infrastructure, has improved the day to day lives of the community and will be his badge of honor for the years to come.

However, as the article relates to his failure to punish criminals will come back to haunt him negatively for future asperation for office.

When even DONT BE SILENT wouldn't eat Lie-onel's CACALAMI Poll you know its TOXIC BS!

DBS"The only thing this guy did was build things, that's it; everything else was a mess; from education, crime, government corruption, drugs, to immigration. He leaves a country full of Haitians and the drug trade higher than ever."

That is very true. I think he had the intention of doing good but our country's history prove once again that you will need a lyon to keep the herd in check. We had the misfortune of having a weak president with a low blood of nationalism in his vein.

About the only thing Josie approve of Leonel's job was all the thing he built in Haiti including an University and the island at the verge of becoming one country.

And other than your rectal opinion what proof do you have to back up your asinine statement?

79% in favor? lol, that is funny. Must be the same poll that Trujillo used, when he won elections with 97% of the vote.
Only the test of time will pronounce sentence, on the pluses and minuses of LF latest 8 year term in office.
He had pluses and he also had minuses, the percentages will be awarded years later by historians, and by the Dominican citizens in retrospect.
In a few days, the DR will celebrate another peaceful transition, always striving towards more democratic and egalitarian governments, which we all should support, as well as judge by their actions.

79% ????

In his pea brain f...ing mind !

generoso
"Must be the same poll that Trujillo used, when he won elections with 97% of the vote." LOL LOL...

Who's a$$ did they pull these numbers from??
Yes he has built a lot of things...
mmm what else has he done?
How much debt has he also rung up on the DR credit card?

Take that prd! At the end of the day, he put dr on top of the world with his development plan!

You right about that jarabacoa...

Jarabacoa & Montilla,

on top of what world? care to explain? Exactly what are we on top of?
Corruption, Mediocrity , Crime, ineptitude, Illiteracy... we're definitely on top there!

Right you are, Hernandez. Building infrastructure does not compensate for lack of courage and heart to go after criminals in govt.
Anyone with the power to make a difference and throught inaction, allows criminal activity to thrive, is a bigger criminal himself.!

I will never consider this guy deserving of a chance to govern us again. I will do my part to make that a reality.

Medina, here's your opportunity to be the president we need and deserve to prosper our lot in life...Go get'em!!

"On top of the world" like James Cagney in White Heat!

UMMM hello what you idoits fail to understand is that without all of the renovatons and ribbon cutting it makes the counrty devlop and not look so dam poor..so if you ask me all of that is needed..what the hell do you want the country to be made out of huts or something..

Why are you guys so afraid of Haitians?

"not look so dam poor"

Oh? so it's all about the perception of not looking poor? As long as there are many fancy malls, new roads and bridges, as long as no one can see down the ally to the ghettos and the slums... it's all Ok...
Like painting over structural cracks or putting a finger in the leaking dam.

Cagney said "top a the world Ma "......He never said "Maws dead you dirty rat"

its called developemt..HELLO!!!!!

No wonder 79% percent of Dominicans approve of Leonel, if we all think like JMONTILLA then i guess he is indeed a great leader.

JMONTILLA loves the fantasy of METROLANDIA!

As long as we look modern its ok even if our EDUCATIONAL "system" is among the WORST in the world!

Josean all of latín Américas educación sistemas are in the crapper not just the DR

and you likeed the fantasy of Guriellmo becoming president and it never happend and never will and your sorry A$$ is still bitter about it..hahahaha

So its suppose to makes us feel better than other children are being screwed in Latin America; I thought the PURPLE CRIMINALS you support said we had one of the highest growth rates in the region!

So Show Me The Money !........for EDUCATION!

Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that our comrades display that kind of childish attitude, this is not about who won or loss; this is about the fate of a whole nation. I liked Guillermo Moreno as a candidate, not because I was to gain anything from the unlikely event that he would’ve been elected, but because I thought he was the better candidate. He was the only candidate to come forward and present to the Dominican people a plan of action to be implemented if he was elected. He was also the only candidate to give priority to the fundamental problems afflicting our nation, such as immigration, education, crime, corruption etc. etc. Perhaps most important in my view was the fact that he expressed fervent patriotism and genuine intentions of making our institutions functional.

People forget that when the PLD started they would meet in a cepillito and the back seat would be empty!

Given what Guillermo was up against and the resources he had, its a very good showing; the fact a Know Nothing like JMONTILLA is discussing him on first name basis means he has effective name recognition for2016!

Why are you guys so afraid of Haitians?








Have you seen how you guys live and what you do to the places where you live?

For the Lie-onel Fernandez worshippers on the eve of his departure, hopefully forever, here is another one for you s-CRAP Books!

“Leonel Legacy to Danilo: A FISCAL DEFICIT 6 TIMES HIGHER than the one Hipólito left Leonel in 2004”

“To compare the colossal fortune he managed to the infinitesimal results in the field of social development, reduction of poverty, quality of education; I am proud enroll in the list of the ungrateful”
Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) - According to the information on the fiscal operations of the Central Government, from the month of January to the first two weeks of the month of August of the current year, the accumulated fiscal gap amounts to RD $ 86, billion 500 million a figure that equals 6 times the deficit which Leonel Fernández received from the Hipólito administration in August 2004.

I guess Pepe32 was right when he wrote even Hippo's goverment was not "without merit!"

And they keep coming!


“Journalism has gone Backwards under Leonel Fernández”

“It is criticized that the Government of Fernández has hired a lot of journalists and has co-opted others to put them at the service of the interests of his Government and his party.”

“SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic- The outgoing President Leonel Fernandez had the opportunity to make institutional contributions to the Dominican Republic, but he decided instead for cronyism and to invest public funds in infrastructure without any rigor, which prevented him from making the reforms that the country needed.”

Now to be fair to the Danilistas here are some collectables for you as well; here is a cold water bucket of political reality!

“Leonel will have more power than Balaguer when he left power in 1978”

“Outside the Government, Leonel Fernandez will have more power than Joaquin Balaguer”

STUPID i would call anyone that actually believe that BS of 79%, this figure is from ASISA that earns millions doing PLDs surveys every election! if Leonel Fernandez reach 45% i will consider it to be VERY fortunate!!! the Proof? HIS PARTY LOST close to 200,000 votes on the past election, that is a FACT and the PLD also lost on nearly every province, those are the numbers that support the real approval rate on this individual.

Guess WHICH country is at the Bottom of the List?? Number 142 of 142 countries??? BINGO!! the DR!! so following your logic we should not complain because all the others according to you are on similar shape??

Viva leonel fernandez!

Here is ONE of the IDIOT 79 PERCENTERS!

Leonel's biggest failure which is closely tied to his greatest triumph was his failiure to manage and control the Haitian invasion of the first decade of the 21st century. Propelled by the import of dirt cheap labor from the neighboring nation, he was able to complete numerous construction projects which left a generation of Dominican workers unemployed and seeking a better opportunity by risking their lives in yolas crossing the Mona Passage. That will be his historical legacy.

Josean, that was a good one about the cepillo.
Touche to Juanb on 79 of 1000. Also brother we are not afraid of Haitians, we are just aware of their historical intentions. They invaded forcefully at the turn of the 19th century and it took us 5 to 6 wars with them to force them out for good in that century. They invaded peacefully at the turn of the 20th century when the Americans were in control of the whole island. It took the brutality of Trujillo to expel them at the point of bayonets.
Cont:

Cont:
And now here we are at the turn of the 21st century and guess "who's baaaaack?". For us to allow this latest invasion( again with a peaceful and humanitarian undertone) to stand would spit in the face of the heroic sacrifice made by patriots 2 centuries ago and the wise although forceful policies of our leaders of the last century. Unfortunately the Haitians are short on memory and long on taking advantage of our generosity. They will not leave willingly and the actions of past heroes and dictators will be repeated in the not too distant future as their numbers continue to grow to the point of Dominican desperation.

And everyone should have this Magnificent Piece of Prose in their "Lie-onel s-CRAP book!"


Sorry it’s in Spanish Guys but it would lose in Power in Shakespeare English!


"Despedida al Presidente Leonel Fernández"

15 de agosto del 2012

por: Sara Pérez


Excelencia:

Disculpe que pretenda distraer, quizás infructuosamente, su precioso tiempo, con unas observaciones que no forman parte de sus elevadas inquietudes intelectuales, a juzgar por los breves segmentos de sus discursos que, por accidentes imprevistos –y escasos- me he visto obligada a oír, en atroces ocasiones.

continued:

Entre los tan merecidos como desinteresados y espontáneos homenajes que anda dando y recibiendo, como en los intercambios de los "angelitos" de Navidad y las inauguraciones, reinauguraciones, semi-inauguraciones, sub-inauguraciones, infra-inauguraciones, todas prematuras y con las obras a medio talle, dudo que pueda corresponder a mi amistoso agasajo, que incluirá el favor de un brevísimo resumen de su herencia.

No se desconsuele por el ajetreo. Mire la resignación con que los leones tienen que andar meando indiscriminadamente, alrededor de cada piedra, arbusto o tocón, para marcar el territorio y que conste que por ahí anda El Jefe, sin mencionar el nombre, pero refrendándolo.

La decencia cosmética adquiere una trascendencia capital donde no existe la real.

continued:

Nadie como usted para dar cátedras sobre la importancia de parecer y no ser. O al revés, de ser y no parecer. Con la amplia cultura le sobrarán frases de inspiración como la famosa de Shakespeare: "Fingir o no fingir. Esa es la cuestión".

Me gustan las palabras, señor Presidente. Las palabras bellas. Redondas, triangulares, cuadradas, lineales, coloridas, luminosas u oscuras, orgánicas, vitales, ligeras o espesas. A veces sedosas o ásperas. Astringentes, picantes, dulces o amargas. Acuosas, aéreas, minerales. También irregulares y secas. Pero bellas. Bellas y enigmáticas. Y fragantes.

Parecen inmutables y eternas, pero siempre están en transición y caminan, corren, nadan y vuelan.

continued:

Me gusta cada una por sí sola: mamá, papá, agua, loma, montaña, tierra, río, mar, libro, beso, amor, vino, lluvia, árbol, culo... son todas palabras magníficas, rotundas, hermosas, que se autoabastecen de poesía, magistralmente cinceladas por la boca del tiempo y ennoblecidas por la elegante pátina de su propia historia.

Realmente las disfruto. Las gozo. Las respeto. Las amo. He escrito más de una vez sobre ello.

Me gustan más si se organizan armoniosamente, con una melodía interna que no sé de qué está hecha, ni en qué consiste, pero sé cuando está presente porque la escucho.

Creo que tiene algo que ver con la distribución de los acentos y la musicalidad de los fonemas cuando se orquestan de cierta forma.

continued:

Si fuera un poco más laboriosa, insistiría en escribir siempre de esa manera, como si me dejara llevar y traer, mecida a un ritmo regular por las olas, pero para hacerlo necesito encontrar un oasis interno, que a veces aparece cuando le da la gana, sin que se le convoque, pero suele evaporarse por completo, aunque lo reclame, cuando abordo asuntos relativos a políticas y administraciones públicas.

Cuando lo menciono a usted, por ejemplo, se marchita hasta un cactus de plástico –con pistolas y sombrero de charro mexicano que tengo en una repisa-. Eso se lo agradezco. No sé cómo llegó a mi casa un adorno tan horrendo.

Hay palabras que hablan, besan y lamen como si fueran lenguas. Lengua es una de ellas, que a veces no habla, besa y lame sino que babea.

continued:

Las hay contraproducentes, como muchas de las reservadas para homenajear a algún jefe de estado que no las merece y aunque le hayan impuesto la alabanza pagada por destino, desde que las pronuncian, en vez de honrar, enmierdecen a quien las vende, pero sobre todo a quien las compra.

Señor Presidente Leonel Fernández, ¡Qué decepción es usted! Yo esperaba algo diferente. No mucho. Mis expectativas eran realmente modestas. Recordaba su anterior gobierno y sabía a qué atenerme, pero pensé que el fracaso electoral del 2000 también le había reportado algunas lecciones y que usted le daría continuidad a algunas de las iniciativas correctas de su primer gobierno, en lo relativo a la profesionalización y eficientización de los aspectos operativos y burocráticos de la administración pública y en cuanto a la organización del tránsito.

Y ¡Sí que acuñó lecciones! ¡Justo en la dirección contraria a la que debía! ¡Rompió todos los records y brincó todas las cercas!

continued:

Josean through your night school studies you will Soon be ready for your GED keep up the good work someday Obama will get you a forklift job.....and keep going to the meetings comrade

¡Qué penoso lo que deja tras sí Presidente Fernández!: un país quebrado, una diarrea de corrupción, un estado ocupado formalmente por una mafia impune, de la que no se sabe hasta dónde llega y qué naturaleza tienen sus operaciones, pero parece que no solo se dedica al tradicional saqueo al gobierno, sino que ha diversificado sus negocios y ampliado sus horizontes, seguro que bajo la iluminada orientación suya, que es el la lumbrera del grupo y tiene la visión más amplia.

Una economía que se sostiene con el narcotráfico y el lavado. Un aparato gubernamental en disposición –y ya con experiencias- de saltarle encima a quienes no se le rinden. Un afianzamiento de la cultura del autoritarismo. Varios miles de jóvenes muertos, asesinados por la policía en las calles. Un retroceso en participación y conciencia política. Un retroceso en la institucionalidad. Un retroceso en la sensibilidad colectiva ante las violaciones a los derechos humanos.

continued:

Una epidemia de feminicidios y agresiones contra las mujeres que es una prolongación y reproducción de los abusos institucionalizados desde el Estado y desde la Iglesia Católica, adornada de una cantidad indeterminada de pederastas impunes, de perfil medieval y metida en el medio, usando inconstitucionalmente recursos y privilegios gubernamentales y contribuyendo a agredir a las mujeres y a perseguir a los gays –siempre que los gays no sean sus obispos-.

Una Policía y unas Fuerzas Armadas que encabezan la delincuencia organizada y auxilia a otras delincuencias, vendiéndole información recopilada por organismos de seguridad.

continued:

Una segregación creciente en la relación ciudadanía-gobierno, entre quienes son miembros del partido y los que no. Una situación crítica con la inmigración haitiana y la población domínico-haitiana, un asunto tan serio y conmovedor y usted se lo añadió, como remate, a los negocios de Vincho, que podía mantenerse bollante, sin que usted le tirara a las fauces a todos esos infelices.

Se lleva para su casa –o más bien, sus casas- un trozo del Estado, como si cargara una mano de plátanos.

Y una prensa sobornada casi a unanimidad, señor Presidente Leonel Fernández.

Usted no es un perdedor. Usted es un hombre de éxito. Reciba mis felicitaciones.
