Default Did he get the visa

Did Aristy get his visa to the US back? I seem to remember that it was pulled. Any idea as to why?

Amable got into trouble just a few days ago because he was parading around in a helicopter throwing money out of it to the people in the campo (some kind of campaign strategy or sometime idk)...like as if he was just playing around y botando los cuartos....so yeah, I don't think Amable has a good light on him.

Sorry for the double post but it won't let me edit my own post. Apparently, the message he was trying to give off was that if he were to become president he would change for the better the uneven distrubition of wealth throughout the nation. The people still didn't like the fact that he was just throwing money out of a helicopter that he could have been used to fix something...like a road, idk. I think the guy is just kind crazy and inconsiderate.

On the contrary, Amable Aristy is not crazy or inconsiderate at all. He is very well aware that his acts of throwing money out of a helicopter or in the middle of a crowd is a very effective political marketing ploy, knowing that the majority of Dominican voters have been reduced to an ignorant gaggle of ragamuffins and indigents who love nothing better than a handout.

Well he didn't get very good publicity about on several talk shows over here. He was critcized very harshly.

In the Dominican Republic, contrary to the U.S., the opinions of talk show hosts are not held in high esteem. Everybody knows that DR journalists sell their articles and opinions to the highest bidder, and the highest bidder is the current government. They are all brown-nosers. Personally, there's not one active journalist in the DR I would give an ounce of credence to, maybe don Adriano Miguel Tejada...
