Three days ago, on January 13, Pres. Barack Obama delivered his final State of the Union address.
It lasted 58 minutes.
At no point during those 58 minutes, did the President mention Puerto Rico.
Not even once.
I encourage everyone to watch this speech, and to reach your own individual conclusion:
If you wish, you can share a comment on this question:
After 118 years…
With Puerto Rico in one of the greatest crises in its history…
What does it mean when the President of the United States…
Says nothing about it?
For a history of the War Against All Puerto Ricans, read the book…

I don’t think there’s a single Puerto Rican or progressive-minded person who isn’t concerned and worried about the economic situation in Puerto Rico. However, do you honestly feel that the State of the Union (known for its broad brush strokes) is the venue for an outgoing President to discuss this issue? I think it’s more important to ensure that this is included in the platforms of candidates campaigning for President.

Just like 1953 when the United States stated, Puerto Rico is now an Estado Libre Associado ( Commenwealth ). In front of the United Nations they had a “loss of memory”, they forgot to clarify what we’re all those strings attached from Puerto Rico and the United States. President Obama had a “loss of memory”.What a coincidence!

None of those states are being forced to RAID their pension funds, WITHHOLD tax refund payments, FIRE thousands of workers, and CLOSE 150 schools.
