Andrew Michael Holness beloved Opposition leader

I cant help likening Andrew Michael Holness to President Obama at times.
Heres a bit on him by a FACEBOOK fan.

Independent Mind:
Andrew Michael Holness was born to working class parents on July 22, 1972 in Spanish Town. If his father who is a farmer and an espoused socialist from that era had his way, Andrew would have been named Michael in honour of former Prime Minister the Most Hon. Michael Manley’s rise and victory at the polls that same year.

Indeed several analysts have compared him in style to Michael Manley. However, Andrew’s mother, who is a civil servant, insisted that her son would be his own independent person and instilled an early sense of discipline, caution, frugality and humility, which have pervaded the form of leadership and public persona for which he is now known. At 39, Holness will be Jamaica’s youngest Prime Minister to date and the first born after Independence, and unconnected to the divisive and turbulent period of the 70s.

Holness is married to Juliet, a chartered accountant and businesswoman and they have two boys, Adam 9 and Matthew 7. He enjoys a game of chess, jogging, cycling and a round of table tennis when he can find players.
