Gbawe: @Igbo2011.

I was never comfortable with the messianic support Obama received from Africans because I believed it to be an emotional and gross simplification of the American Presidency. An American president is not so much a person. He is an institution that will always be compelled and 'harmonised', above everything else, to do what is best for the USA.

It is those , in the first place, who wanted to associate the American Presidency with colour and continental goodwill (i.e Obama's link with Africa) who will be disappointed with Obama.

Those who never regarded Obama's race and origin as pertinent will understand he is simply another individual who must continue the effort to keep America dominant. This "dominance" may come at the expense of others to include Africans and it is naive, given all that is known about the USA , for anyone to think the racial and continental origin of the man in the White House changes anything. This is not necessarily a bad thing and we Africans should learn from it. Allegiance and loyalty should , first and foremost, be to the land that has developed you. Obama is not Kenyan or African. He is, beyond the dreamy rhetoric, and for the purposes that matter, 100% American.

Well said, but that picture with the burnt corpses made me cringe. I hate seeing the pictures of disfigured, mangled or burnt human corpses.

As Gbawe has rightly said, a United States president is all about sticking to American policies that will keep America in power. I have noticed that there is really no difference between the republicans or democrats. Almost all american presidents that ever served their country always ended up going to war with one foreign country or another. When was the last time an american president served his 4 year term peacefully without throwing bombs into a far away country? Anyways, when it comes to america, I washed my hands long time ago. I have so lost respect for that country that even taking about america disgusts me. Make them carry go and I ain't voting either.

What does that mean?

igbo2011: Barack Obama is half Kenyan but he does NOT serve the interests of Africa. He funded the rebels who started the black genocide in Libya. He kills Somalians with drones even hough the are famine struck. He supported Joseph Kabila an illeginamate Presdient in the Congo. He helped France overhrow Laurent Gbagbo and insall a puppet Outtara. He sent "advisor" to search for Kony last year. He will bring hell to Africa under AFRICOM. Mi Romney is no beter. They will both be the same ol imperialists.

Just because Obama has African blood in him, doesn' mean he serves Africa's interests. This is just a warning.

Well said. Even African Americans have trouble with this concept. Politicians love it when you cant see beyond color or ethnicity. If I could vote, I would vote for Obama, as Romney is a much worse alternative. But I am under no illusion about such a vote.
