Barack Obama knows good Jamaican coffee

BEFORE and after the presidential election, local journalists frequently reported on what Barack Obama might, or might not do for Jamaica. However, many were a little doubtful, given the lengthy to-do list left him by George W Bush, not to mention the island's sliding geopolitical importance.

But for the hungry-belly among us, Obama finally came through at a cocktail reception thrown by the United States embassy for journalists. While under the Republicans it was mini-patties, his administration packs everyone home with an 8oz bag of Old Tavern, Jamaica's finest Blue Mountain coffee. Sorry Hugo.
