While sitting in my uncomfortable sofa watching the news, I was fascinated by the fact that a lot has changed since the Kennedy's. Of course we have streets and people have food and shoes, but people don't accumulate in the streets waiting for a President full of promises and hopes. People don't believe in these things any more. Of course there were a few people but the enthusiasm was not the same.
And then there was the performance of the President. It was amazing, I thought he was giving a free concert. He ran out that air plain threw his jacket to his assistant and waved and smiled at the public. Some say he is just a simple man, who is humble and wants not only to be part of the people but wants there understanding, and others believes he is just being unprofessional and demonstrating to have no capacity of ruling.
And his speech...It was short, straight to the point and totally out of point. By this I mean he said nothing we had not heard before. But only one of the things he said was true: "when the Puertorican people have a clear decision" of what they want for their status (remember we are still a American colony) his administration would back us up. Well, of this I can say, its true but not true. For he is in some way blaming the Puertorican of still being a colony when only the Congress can decide, they have the final word on our status. But it is true that the puertoricans have a divided island, some want independence others want to be the 51st state. And what do I think of this...?
