Santo Domingo.- President Leonel Fernandez received the Puerto Rican pop star Ricky Martin Tuesday on, who thanked the Head of State´s offer to cooperate with the ¨Ricky Martin Foundation¨ so it could reach Haiti, devastated by the recent quake.
“I’m extremely thankful with the president because the Dominican Government focused on the logistics of my trip to Haiti and without the president´s favor we couldn’t have arrived in Haiti today, we would’ve had to wait 10 more days,” Martin said.
He added that he’ll forge an alliance with Habitat for Humanity to draft a long term housing plan, as the construction of those houses is what´s most important for the neighboring nation.

He's really milking his 15 minutes, no? But if it makes DR look good and competent, why not? We need all the good publicity, rightly earned of course, that we can get. Good job Presidente Leonel.

Are you kidding us? LF has proven himself to be an incompetent, careless, and arrogant president. His governing style is to allow his underlings to run amuck, ignore education and infrastucture and to do everything possible to position himself as a "world leader". What he is is a world class failure. To wit:
His ideas cumbre of a year ago. Where happened to all those great ideas?
His travels to the Middle East. Where are all those investments that were promised?
His European travels. Where are all thos investments?
His promised attention to education. Why are we still ranked lowest in the world in primary education?
His promise to solve the electricity problems. Why did he leave r.segura in power for 7 years if he was so obviously incapable?
His meddling in other countries politics. How come he was not able to help his leftist buddy Zelaya.
Feel free to add other failures......The list is endless......And as you can see LF is clearly and obviously THE WRONG MAN F

DH,
There was time ATABEY use to do good research and provide good links to excellent articles. I would faithfully do the home work by reading assignments he would handout.
But recently he came out of the closet as a full fledged LIE-onelita and has joined the “Everything LIE-onel Fernandez Does is Great TOUR headed by Martha!”

I tend to give credibility to the tattoo stories, done while he lived in NYC, and more so since he is never seen with short sleeve shirts. Some "femme fatale" that was close to him, did mention that the story was true. But I can not vouch for her veracity.
Once there was a meeting in a caribbean country that LF attended and the dress code was Guayabera, and LF was the only one of all the other leaders and heads of state, in a business suit.
Even in very warm days he wears long sleeves and a sports jacket, so probabilities are good that
he is a tattoo branded person. LOL.

Many people would think that a leader should be in long sleeves as short sleeves is very casual and not acceptable at night for a President of an up and coming Latin country . I am surprised that anyone could think that Leonel does not dress appropriately because regardless of what anyone may think about his politics , he always seems a well dressed and impressive leader .
In this particular story ,I am surprised that anyone would want to write anything other than thanks to Ricky Martin for the work of his foundation and to the President for his assistance ,,but there appear to be those who cannot say thank you but want to raise irrelevancies .

It's unbelievable that some ppl cannot tell apart GOOD from EVIL.
Leonel is like a GOD send for Dominican Republic.
Without this guy we would worse than Haiti, Guatemala, Honduras, or any country in Africa. The only thing this man has brought to DR is the mindset of foreigner, that who can see outside the black darkened cave most of us Dominicans live in. Especially, those like you J. Always, rottening the minds of those less kwoledge possessed.
That's why I hope someone with more like foreigner mind comes to power in DR, so no traditionalist take over and bring the country back 100 years, and you know what I'm talking.
If Leonel feels like dressing like a real man of his caliber dress like, then let it be.
Or maybe, he should be dressed like you....
