Puerto Rico is a wonderful place, and the current governor is a great conservative who has done a lot to encourage business growth and enterprise in the island.

Of course, with Obama as president, I’m not sure why they’d want to be a state, but I guess that’s another matter.

Puerto Rico is the gateway to the Caribbean and it actually is of strategic importance. We had military installations in the old Spanish fort during WWII and up to fairly recent times.

It’s also a great place to vacation: it has America’s only rainforest, produces much better coffee than Hawaii, and has better dancing (salsa) than just about any place on the mainland!

Thank you for your kind words.

There are rainforests in Alaska and Washington. PR wants the US Military out of it. But on the Salsa dancing part, you are right.

I agree. And if PR is done with him, maybe we can borrow their governor for a while. We may need him.
