US President Barack Obama proved he is very popular in Jamaica on Thursday.
Crowds
across the country cheered for President Obama as he made multiple
stops and became the American president to visit the island nation since
President Ronald Reagan in 1982.
And it seems no one was more excited, or starstruck, than Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller.
just want
to say to you, you might not know, but you are very loved in this
country,' Prime Minster Simpson Miller told President Obama
'So I just wanted to say you're well-loved in Jamaica. Well, first of all I can say to you publicly, 'I love you.''
Simpson Miller said she hoped Obama understood how important his visit is to Jamaica.
'It
is a great pleasure to visit Jamaica, known for its beauty and the
extraordinary spirit of its people,' Obama wrote as he signed the guest
book at Jamaica House, where the prime minister and her staff have
offices.
'May the deep and abiding friendships between our nations continue for generations to come.'
