    It was his private visit in the interest of general public.
    What's the big fuss about?

    AJ - DXB Wednesday, 26 January 2011 08:13 AM

    you mean private things?

    Tissa Wednesday, 26 January 2011 08:04 AM

    I am a vege-sorous

    When you become the President he looses most of his privacy. He has to account for all his actions to the countrymen.

    noah Tuesday, 25 January 2011 04:21 PM

    like Hembirissawa? LOL

    neville Tuesday, 25 January 2011 04:15 PM

    President is a public figure, should report to the Parliamant about his trips. Ranil and others also do the same.

    Yehiya-Doha Tuesday, 25 January 2011 02:46 PM

    Not for cancer .

    Rajitha Tuesday, 25 January 2011 01:30 PM

    what right do you have to ask someone(anyone) to reveal his/her private matters?

    Yehiya-Doha Tuesday, 25 January 2011 11:27 AM

    He suffering from some sort of sickness.

    Tissa, Tissa,
    Rather than wasting time and words why don't you go and hunt a deer?

    ladiesman Tuesday, 25 January 2011 10:06 AM

    how do you know it exactly ??

    ahmedNaseer Tuesday, 25 January 2011 09:33 AM

    public money is for personal & enjoyable trip.

    Arther Tuesday, 25 January 2011 09:32 AM

    If The President has gone on a PRIVATE visit, who pays all his travelling expenses?

    Ravana Tuesday, 25 January 2011 09:23 AM

    he can't go with his foreign minister and secretary in tow !

    sanesh Tuesday, 25 January 2011 06:53 AM

    රනිල් නෝර්වේ යන්නෙ මොකටද කියලත් කියන්න ?

    wmj Tuesday, 25 January 2011 09:04 AM

    Hey Tissa, do you need to know the truth?

    It was not really a private visit but as per Mr Obama's request to advice him, ahead of World's Supper Powers Summit on following day. This is top secret and keep it to yourselves.

    haramanis Tuesday, 25 January 2011 08:44 AM

    so president can't go on private trips?

    Idiot Tuesday, 25 January 2011 08:35 AM

    RW is not the precedent of Sri Lanka

    Bala Tuesday, 25 January 2011 08:23 AM

    Even if a leaf shakes UNP wants to know why??? UNPers please note there is no future for you. People know what is right and wrong. Enough pulling wool over the eyes and your days are gone.

    Bandu Tuesday, 25 January 2011 08:20 AM

    I was listening to these guys over past few years. What I clearly noticed from UNP was that Talking, talking and talking. After Mr. Premadasa, UNP changed their strategy from “working” to “talking”. Obviously “talking” is much easier than “working”. But this method is being failed even when JVP applied. talk to your voters, they will tell you

    jaygoda Tuesday, 25 January 2011 08:17 AM

    Tissa, why, do you hear some one calling your name "Tissa, Tissa in your dreams ? Please, stop hunting the young upcoming UNP leaders and look for a mango tree or few trees which will bear fruits. Listen to a proper messenger than following that fruitless old tree. It will be good for the country. Don't worry about HE and his trips.

    Bandaraa. Tuesday, 25 January 2011 08:12 AM

    Atthanayake first put your house in order before asking questions. It is up to you to find out what Ranils , Jayalath, Wickramabahu were up to when they were on private visits overseas.. If you can convince the public that your political jokers did justice by the Srilankan public with out holding this nation to ransom then you can ask a question. other wise we will treate you as another political joker like the guys in Tamil Nadu.

    Prabu Tuesday, 25 January 2011 08:08 AM

    Mr. Thissa, Have you ever asked RW, about his personal visits?

    Wara Tuesday, 25 January 2011 08:06 AM

    Do you or your party say all the private or official thing to the public or at least to the party itself ?? Ex. Ranil-Praba accord and JR-Rajiv peace accord. How many of you know about it before signing ?? If it is private, what is the right you have to ask to reveal it ??

    Isuru Tuesday, 25 January 2011 07:53 AM

    basically private.

    Ana Tuesday, 25 January 2011 07:37 AM

    How can the US state Dept summon a sovereign leader of state?

    Konde bendapu china Tuesday, 25 January 2011 07:29 AM

    Did any one ask when RW go Private Visit to anywhere in the world

    Kan Tuesday, 25 January 2011 07:24 AM

    You will come to know the truth through wikileaks after a few years, don't worry.

    bash Tuesday, 25 January 2011 07:16 AM
