obama was sent by God to tell black people that it is legitimate to have big ambitions and work towards it. and he has done that.

but i'm not sure he was sent to be the president of the united states. b/c in the unlikely event that he becomes the democratic party nominee, the party is already too divided to win an election in november. and also, then we shall see[b] that americans may prefer an old McCain to a young Nigger Obama[/b]

darfur:

but black people should remember that the clintons had helped out black people in the past. it'll be good to pay them back and hand hilary the victory. obama can be the vice and potentially a future president with clinton support. if he'll be patient.

tosinadeda:

we all know how the elections will end so y all the high hopes?

McKren:

Its not so difficult to figure out why the youths of our country have failed to take back our government.

Its not so easy to figure out why Duke did not last, Nigerians can't and never HOPE for extra-ordinary things!!!!!

oyb:

yes. a case of winning the battle and losing the war. nothing like divide and conquer to ruin one's objectives. i cannot see a black man in the white house. (maybe if as it has been suggested, obama and hilary eventually run on the same ticket. . .)

father ab:


Yes we know how the election will end: IN FAVOUR OF OBAMA!

For God's sake, why can people be optimistic for once? A man with a closed mind sees a problem to every solution while a man with an open mind sees a solution to every problem.

This Obama has just dusted the Hillarys of this world with a NINE consecutive wins and some pessimistic people just sit in front of computer screens to prophecy doom for him.

Politics is not by pity, its not by shedding tears before screens, it is not by name calling: Osama, Black, etc. It is by the YARNING POWER you bring to bear to win the hearts of the potential voters. This is what Hillary and old man McCain lack and they have launched fresh attacks on the young but intimidating Obama.

@Africans, even if this guy seems to you to be loosing which ofcourse is not the case, just try and convince yourself against negativism/pessimism.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO HIS SON'S TEACHER:

", TEACH HIM TO BELIEVE IN HIS OWN OPINION EVEN IF OTHERS DONT AND TO FIGHT WHEN HE THINKS HE IS RIGHT NOT MINDING WHETHER HE STANDS THE CHANCE OF WINNING OR LOOSING, "

Mamajama:

The unstoppable Obama does it again. He won 9 states consecutively. Now he is on track to banish clinton for ever.

I am proud and glad to be able to witness the[b] slogan of change.[/b]

Now does McCain has what it takes to stop Obama?

early voting start in Houton tomorrow

4Him:

almondjoy, you love to talk so much twaddle . . . what does Clinton stand for? Please give me one policy of hers that makes sense.

What did JFK stand for in 1960?

Mamajama:

Amazing, Obama won the last 10 states overwhelmingly with the least close margin of 18% in Winsconsin and some people are still here saying the guy is inexperience.

Young people and even White conservatives are joining the paddy waggon.  Obama is for real.  

He is for change and that is what people want.

At his rally last night in Houston, over 18,000 came to hear him speak.  The movement for change is real.

father ab:

@ Almondjoy,
Why ask for what Obama has acheived as a politician when [b]it is all over the place?

Can't you see that to become an elected senator of America is not moi moi.

Remember its America we talk about here not Nigeria where a mortuary worker abroad will dash home after the primaries and by the grace of rigging become a senator.

Besides, we don't just give obama an overseas support for nothing, we have researched into his past, present and future. That man has voted in the senate the way I would have done if I were an american senator. Haven't you checked his voting partern? Go check it.[/b]

almondjoy:

I rest ma case! The reason a said--one is just as good as the other. They are all a bunch of noise makers. Let's get over the color crush please. Clinton and Obama and MCcain and Huckerbee all stand for "Change", which no one has spelt to me since this circus started.

almondjoy:

I just heard Hilary on TV, say she will start to bring the troops home within 60 days. I need concrete ideas please not to start chantin' change here and change there. Disturbin' ma eardrums!

Mamajama:

almondjoy ? are you even qualify to vote in America?

if not, please leave us Americana alone with all your pessimistic talk.

almondjoy:

Look, on a serious note, the debates I have seen so far are not to my satisfaction.  I wan't them to tell me how they intend to deal with the menace of illegal immigration first. Instead of chewing their tongues and pretending to be deaf till they have covetted the illegal immigrants votes.

4Him:

Keep the noise decibel up, that's what you excel at. People like you only started following politics after the hysteria began.
Prior to Iowa Clinton was running on the ticket of experience . . . she didnt switch to a message of change until Obama began using it with devastating effect. MCcain is standing for change? don't make me laugh please. Watch his speeches instead of saying anything u feel on the spur of the moment.

The question you shld be asking is HOW and WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? You can't just withdraw troops within 60 days . . . will the Iraqis be ready to take over security of their country within 60 days? You have to worry about Iran moving in to fill that vacuum, al qaeda insurgents using an unstable Iraq as a base to launch further attacks.

It is easy to line up behind a naive woman who cries about bringing in the troops in 60 days . . . welcome to another Afghanistan.

oldie:

I will be shallow brained about this.
I don't care what he stands for
He is a senator isnt he? He must have stood for something before he was elected
The fact that he is black and he is doing well is ok by me.
The "feel good" feeling is intoxicating!
I hope I will not be disappointed
But he has done well so far, whatever the end result may be

almondjoy:

Look here, the Americans can not suffer economically if you do not strategize ok?  Look at the state of the economy?  All for hugh defense spending.  Yes the consequences of pulling out of Iraq will be felt.  We can leave gradually.  But has anyone even mentioned a plan?

almondjoy:

Besides there are like some almost 80,000 troops idling away around the world including Germany since WW1--For heaven's sakes, WTF?  We have countries like Canada and Swissy minding their own business and no one has attacked them yet.  Please bring the idle troops home and save us from China abeg!

4Him:

the issue of illegal immigrants is a complex one that will take a lot more than just one person coming up with policy statements to win elections. Bush has been president for 8 years . . . what was his own plan for tackling illegal immigration?

There are more than 12million illegals . . . can you just start shipping them home?

Hillary Clinton is touting a health care program . . . the same one that[b] failed woefully [/b] when Bill was president? Abegi!

You say hillary has experience . . . the experience of voting for an uneccessary war in Iraq?
Soon she'll be voting to send missiles to Iran.

almondjoy:

If you paid hefty taxes, you would care by force! We are not talking about his senatorial capabilities may a remind you--he is going for the presidency. 2 different things ok? I care who gets that seat while I may not care about who gets ma senatorial seat. The world sees only the "President"!
