Back to Reality After Obama's Visit to Jamaica

Clovis Toon
President Obama's visit was a joyous and memorable time for the country. All forgot their cares to welcome the president. Although many did not have an opportunity to see him on such a short trip, the entire population felt proud that such a visit occurred from one of the greatest leaders of the free world. In fact, the population has been used to daily crimes, but crime appeared to have taken a break while all united during the visit. Fast forward, one week after President Obama's visit, the peaceful atmosphere within the country has returned to the realities of daily living in Jamaica. Today, three high school students, approximately 15 to 16 years old were murdered execution style. One moderator on a talk program said that she felt that she was in the Middle East where such crimes are normal. The good vibes that were implanted over the nation by President Obama has died and the worries are back as the population continues to deal with poverty, crime,  unemployment and other ills associated with this nation.
