Enrique Iglesias Keeps His Promises - Unlike Barack Obama

I respect those who keep their promises. As for those who don't? I have a word: liars. Unlike our false "fierce advocate" in the White House, Enrique Iglesias recently kept the promise he made during the World Cup madness - he said he'd water ski across Biscayne Bay if Spain won the World Cup. I suspect that Enrique never expected to have to actually deliver on the "bet" but nevertheless he made good on his word, albeit at night to avoid the threat of being arrested for public indecency (not that I'd consider seeing Enrique naked something all that indecent). Would that the concept of keeping promise - even inconvenient ones - was embraced by the current occupant of the White House for whom the word liar seems to be the only apt term given his betrayal of most LGBT Americans. Here are highlights from The Advocate on Enrique keeping his promise:
*
Spanish pop star Enrique Iglesias made good on his word late last week, indulging in a late-night joy ride despite admonitions from Miami police. And yes, there is a video.
*
According to TMZ, Iglesias’s management deigned only to issue a vague statement: "We do not manage Enrique’s personal time schedule but we do know he was in Miami the last week of July.”
*
Miami-Dade County police also reported to the celebrity news site in mid July that they were prepared to intervene in Iglesias’s nude stunt, emphasizing, "We enforce all laws here, regardless of what your status is in the Miami community."
*
When questioned in late July as to why he had still not gone through with the stunt, the singer jokingly told People magazine, “I need to get my Brazilian wax before I do it.” He also expressed his anxieties about sharks in Biscayne Bay.
*
Iglesias made his World Cup promise during the onset of the event, confirming after Spain’s win, “A bet is a bet.
