I thought the idea of ambassadors was to promote beneficial relationships between two countries.

Wouldn't that be nice. It's more about rewarding cronies.

Homosexuals such as Obama have MANY pals from the bath housees from whom to choose. Reggie must wait his turn. Bob

“If all of the GOPe morons who want to buy off Latinos with an Amnesty plan understood anything about Spanish... they would realize that social issues are the way to convert these voters to the GOP.”

Yep - living up to their reputation of being the ‘stupid party’.

Who cares? The US is far and away the Dominican Republic's largest trading partner. In fact, 75% of the DR's trading revenues come from trade with the United States. Every major industry, from tourism, to sugar, to mining, to manufacturing is dominated by US firms and by trade with the US. The DR will accept whatever Ambassador the US sends it. Not exactly a relationship between equals here...

Whoops. Obama will pull all the federal funding to them and that will make them toe the homo line! I hope they don’t cave. Hang tough folks. Do what the Lord told you to do. This garbage homo crap is an abomination to the Lord and someday in the near future at the Judgement Seat, they are going to pay dearly for it.

The Dominicans share an island with Haiti. Without US trade and investment, look how great things could be!

“Conservative Christian nation where 25% .....minimum....of the attractive women under 40 are affordable prostitutes”

With practically no jobs and fewer men of means getting married, being a prostitute is the only way many of them can eat.

I would guess that Obama appointed Brewster as ambassador to the DR based on his contributions to Obama’s never-ending campaign. The fact that Brewster is openly ‘gay’ was probably not the sole reason for his appointment but I’m sure that it didn’t hurt his chances, either. I hope the DR government refuses Brewster. It might be one of the very few times anyone ever says ‘no’ to King Obama.

Yup, and that's nothing new, either. I was just reading that Charles Francis Adams, appointed ambassador to Britain during the War Between the States, received that position because he was a political crony of Seward. It's who you know - not the job you can do.

Amen. Anyone can toss out a number and claim it’s fact. Every country has sin, that doesn’t mean you throw up your hands and turn everything over to libertines.

Another Gay Ambassador? The dead on in Benghazi wasn’t enough? Supposedly they are less than 3% of the population, butt Obama sure surrounds himself with a lot of that very small minority.

Much of the news media in other countries don't share the same leftist agenda as the U.S. news media, at least where Obama is concerned.
