Woe be to anyone with a BRAIN who wishes to rebuke the illegal and immoral actions of a brain-dead-dry-drunk president who illegally stole an election. And as to you brainwashed morons who say "if you don't like it, get out" -- that's exactly what I did! I moved to Europe for a while and am now a very happy Australian citizen. So you can keep your tub-thumping-flag-waving hysteria which is LAUGHED at by the rest of the world. You are an ever-diminishing force in world politics (thank God!) and Ricky Martin or anyone else who feels negatively about the prez has the RIGHT to his feelings. debbles in lovely Melbourne, Australia In answer to Izzy — it IS a f**king dictatorship over there now — very much the simplistic theme that has been drummed into the sheeple-like brains of the masses — if you aren’t with us, you’re against us.

You act like he should be praised on your hands and knees! The american people vote him in, he works for you, not the other way around. You are his boss. I just don't get this absurd loyalty to someone who clearly screwed up. In Canada, where I'm from, we can say whatever we want about our Prime Minister and there is no backlash, no death threats, we actually do have freedom of speech. Alot of our politicans and Prime Ministers go on fake news/comedy shows and act silly and it makes them human. Americans have forgotten that the President is HUMAN, not some golden idol. You have to get over this bowing down to the President and being afraid to exercise your freedom of speech. It's something that is extremely important to a free democracy. For people that live outside of the US, it's starting to look like a dictatorship there. Why do you place such importance on the Presidency and the President?

Bush is not going to be elected again for another term...he's did his time as President. However, he is still our current President and deserves the respect of the office he was elected to. And, Julie, just because he pays taxes does not make him a good US citizen. As a true, devoted citizen, if Ricky has an issue with the President's choices/decisions, he needs to stop acting childish and DO something intelligent about it. It's no wonder the youth in our country have no respect for authority, look at how the people in a "role model" position in this country behave. This man is looked up to by many young Americans I'm sure. Have you spent a little time with any young people in our country? Many of them have NO respect for anyone in an authoritative position. For children who have no role models at home, they look elsewhere. This man is an example of what they learn from. So, what is he teaching them? If you don't like something someone does, flip them off, cuss them out, yell at them, tell them what all they are doing wrong, and DON'T show them any respect. Sorry Julie, I guess I'm old fashioned...I prefer a peaceful and more intelligent means for handling issues...such as demonstrations or petitions...but that is just me. My point is simply this: if you don’t like the way things are run and you have the crapload of money Mr. Martin has…leave…nobody is forcing you to stay in a place that you have the freewill and means to leave.

They pay taxes, but cannot vote. He has every right to flip off the president if he wants, as do the rest of us who disagree with his condescending misguided policies. I agree with Ricky, and in fact I flipped off Bush in 2004 when his motorcade passed by on the way to a campaign rally.

He'll be in a ridiculous tax bracket and employ a LOT of American people so the "we're doing immigrants a favour by letting them live here and they should be thankful" point is lame. He's doing America a favour by paying his taxes and buying ridiculously expensive clothes, homes, etc. Don’t forget that Ricky Martin has brought a LOT of money into the country.

I agree with everything you said. And yes, Ricky was famous and had money before he went to the US but people think that if North Americans don't know an artist then he's a nobody, whatever! And Jamie just stick to what you know. You have no idea how things are done in Puerto Rico and I'm pretty sure that if he wanted to flip off the governor he could and people would probably agree with his sentiments. As for this incident, I was at his concert and I saw the gesture and I think that he just expressed what everyone is thinking so I say good for you Ricky! And DAMN is he hot. Well said WTF.
