Jamaica's Prime Minister Interviewed on HARDtalk
2008-05-20 23:19:00 I just watched an interview with Prime Minister Bruce Golding on HARDtalk, an interview talkshow on the BBC. Just watching the program alone took me through various types of emotions and I would even say mental states. Why is it that certain programs always dig at the negative news and information only? It is for that same reason I started a website called Jamaicapage.com even before I started this blog to focus more of the POSITIVE news and information that happens in Jamaica. I am sure I have referred to posts there in the past. Prime Minister of Jamaica - Bruce Golding Mr golding handled himself well and I must comment him for standing up the the tough questions related to the economic situation in Jamaica, crime and violence and human rights.

He is a master of duplicity, so I will not predict his course, but I do think he would have resigned unless he saw a more favorable outcome. Favorable only to him. VOA News It came as no surprise that Yousuf Raza Gilani was selected Monday by the Parliament to become Pakistan's 22nd prime minister.
