This is an excerpt of County Commissioner Jean Monestime's speech.
This is Lynda Bell speech you have to go to You Tube. The speech was bad so I added an appropriate sound track ...Hit read more for the last three words cut off:
...so I don't "go to hell."

I love the soundtrack. I'm not sure if VLB and her staff are a warped version of the Beverly Hillbilies; or a Hillbilly version of the Village People - undecided. I may learn photo shop just to settle my inquiring mind!
It looks like she wore her best, I'm going to a wedding outfit.
And - to her speech, I threw up watching her thank Katy. How Katy kept that smile was beyond anything I could have done.
Jean was the brightest light shining. He get's the peoople.
His history within the community speaks for itself.
When he articulated the "American Dream", it was hard keeping tears back.
This was probably one of a handful of campaigns/candidates I couldn't be happier for.
Jean Monestime: Good luck.
I love your story and your move to the United States.
We watch your progress in the political arena with great hope for a new vision and a new Miami-Dade County.
So happy you won. Walter, Guerda and I are thrilled we were able to help you in the campaign with our fund raiser.
All the best Commissioner! We wish your staff the best as they discover the processes unique to county hall.

So you are so in love with your own assumptions and prejudices you're not even going to wait for one vote or action to decide about the new commissioners' performance.
Quality blogging there.
EOM used to be a great resource. Now it's an echo chamber for whinging.
Enjoy.
Monestine "gets it"' Bell does not. He spokie with passion from the heart and knows who he works for and I believe he respects and appreciates the office he has earned from the people. Bell speaks from expectation and a sense of entitlement and spouts phrases and themes borrowed from the Palin speechwriters. No substance, no humility.
Genius, you are SO going to hell;)
If Genius goes to hell, Lynda Bell is going to be there too. She talks the talk but that is about it.
I watched Bell vote..........I watched her speak (coudln't understand her which is why I said "watched").
She's making incredibly un informed decisions already in just two commission meetings. She's a mimic of the URM.
If Genuis is SO going to hell, I'll join that party!
Hmmm. I could have chosen a much meaner soundtrack. You haven't listened and are jumping to conclusions.
I'm the "so going to hell" poster. I was kidding. Hence the winkie;) Winkies, if you're unaware, are used on blogs and in e-mails all the time to connote tongue-in-cheek. What are you, eighty?
yep, I am 80...I am preoccupied with losing the musical soundtrack and trying to get it back, I don't mind going to hell since I don't believe in it.
I wasn't responding to your comment. Yours wasn't up yet (We must have posted at the same time). I was responding to the person who called me an extremist, which seemed like an extreme reaction to a comment with an emoticon. I don't actually think it matters whether you believe in hell, since I don't actually believe your video will get you sent there, even if it exists. I thought it was funny. Lynda Bell isn't just going to hell; She IS hell. Four years of hell.
I can hear the soundtrack.
OH SHIT! That last hit of acid really F*&<ked me up I fell through the Rabbit whole and found myself in a third world wonderland, with Queen Lynda at the helm, she was saying something about beheading the Gubner. Some other guy with a funky accent kept repeating the opening line from The Jerk "I was born a poor black child" and this old batty dude kept talking about horses, baseball and castro while Jabba the Hut watched him with contempt out of the corner of his/her eye.
Stay away from the BROWN ACID!
At least Lynda has goals for her and her children. She wants to one day have a member of her family live in a home that does not have wheels on it.

I like the music, the video is not so important, the words though, I know I heard sometime during a zoning hearing.
His is a wonderful story and that was a great speech! Now comes the real challenge of helping the long neglected poor people in his district. I hope he will remain true to his calling, demonstrate day-to-day concern for the little people, and not be corrupted by County hall. But something happens to many of these Black people when they get in office. They forget about the people, and spend all their power on trying to get money for themselves and their families. If he can remain focused, and get things done, he can be one of the County's greatest Black leaders approaching the legacy of Joseph Caleb. Strategy 1- keep your door always open to talk to, listen, and help people with their day-to-day problems.
I remember Caleb too. He was a union leader not an elected official, but he helped and gave hope to a lot of people. He would hold court in the union hall, and people would come with every problem imaginable. He was gunned down, and I don't remember them ever finding out who killed him.
