Anybody who thinks someone wrote this particular speech for Obama is simply demonstrating the fact that they started talking about Obama because others are.

Well the Bush's are business associates to the Bin Ladens

I guess any guilty by association verdict should start from there

PDP is misguided, period!!!!!

there are better ways to get people to join a website or blog

Abeg make una leave Obama jo! He is one of the greatest and most charismatic speakers I have ever seen.

There is no point arguing with people who can not even inspire a class room of 20 pupils.

Obama's 2004 DNC "Audacity of Hope" Speech is no.2 on http://www.americanrhetoric.com/. Second only to MLK's "I have a dream speech". !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile on America, the weapon of mass destruction that I know now is the fear mongering that led america into Iraq. It has created more terrorist than any American foreign policy in history. It has made friends and fans of America make comments that should be heard from only people who are anti-american.

That is the idealogy the next President of US will have to change.

The truth is that those that matter don't want it to count. Howard Dean don't want Florida and Michigan to count, he is only bidding his time and making it look like he is being fair to all parties.

And thanks Goodness Hillary says she does not want a re-vote in Florida. That will simply be a recipe to stripping both Michigan and Florida of their delegates and sticking to the original rules.

Hillary will never be President

Rupert Murdoch has a truck load of scandals he is waiting to unleash about Hillary if she becomes the nominee

BigB1

Some of the arguments some pundits have made is that the three contenders have not managed people or any organisation before apart from their campaign. So their ability to lead can be measured on how they lead their campaign.

Obama has played Mr. Nice Guy enough. He can not claim not to hesitate to strike anyone who hurts his country yet he is hesitating to attack Hillary who has been attacking his campaign.

Democrats or no Democrats, the Clintons have been distorting facts all through the campaign. When Obama pointed out that the media has been debunking their distortions the Clintons simply went against the media accusing them of not vetting Obama.

The truth of the matter is if Obama has anything to hide it would have been in the public domain today.

So Obama must go on the offensive and hold the Clintons to their own record, the idea that Obama should be held to a higher standard to the Clintons is simply unacceptable.

see the quote below

I am allowed to make up things about my opponent but he is not allowed to ask any questions of me

My experience being near people counts while his experience working for people does not

My narrow victories count while his landslides don't

my voters count while his don't

He should be demonized for having a neighbour who is on trial for fraud but I do not have to answer questions about my partners up-coming fraud case in the court

It simply does not work like that!!!!!
There is nothing negative asking the Clintons to defend their records. Being qualified to be President includes staying above board in those things which disqualify one from being President.

The "Kitchen sink" strategy may have worked on March 4th, they should expect the "toilet seat"

those who leave in glass house do not throw stones.

Jay Rockefeller joins the list of superdelegates for Obama

That does'nt look like a mark of racism to me so Trevor Phillips can go and die

Quote
If he had voted no for the funding it will be used against him now.

in other words, obama is more concerned about his political future than sticking to his message?? all rhetoric as i guessed. u can't be all anti-war then vote for a war funding bill. hypocrite.

I dont think any of those was why he voted no.

He voted no because he believe's that when Soldiers are already on harms way, they should be given support.
Being against a war and calling for withdrawal is one thing, while refusing to vote that those who are already in the battle field be given fund is another.

I think Trevor Philips and Tavis Smileys reason alike.

These are people who made a living out of the hopelessness and misfortune of black people. So anything that seems to suggest that racism might soon be eradicated does not favour them. Reason being they thrive when people grief about racism.

Hillary Clinton is unstable

I pity for Bill and Chelsea

don't be so hasty to comment on what you have limited information on: Pakistan banned ACCESS to youtube from Pakistan because it controls the internet gateways into the country, It did NOT and CANNOT shut down You tube or any other website that is not hosted domestically

I don't have limited information on that. in their quest to that, worldwide Youtube was shut for some time yesterday.

How can you say a Justice of the Appeal Court was promoted 'out of nowhere'? Is he a magistrate? Or was it Yar'adua that got him to the position he is now?

Just as it was not Yaradua who sent Ribadu to School

The President is destroying public trust, I hope he does not destroy Nigeria at the rate he is going. The spin is simply not working. He should start taking decisions and ruling Nigeria with clean hands.

when was Sahara shut down? They are an internet based news body outside Nigeria, I don't think the Nigerian govt can shut it down even if they wanted to. That is a completely different matter OR a ploy by opponents of the government to paint them black. By allowing a public broadcast of the tribunal ruling, he has opened up the situation for all to see - make your judgments. Whether the appointment was manipulative or not remains to be seen.

Pakistani Government shut worldwide Youtube owned by Google yesterday. Let alone saharareporters.

Just wondering why of all days saharareporters is not working today, did not say the federal Government did.

However you seem to be defending this Judgement. Why was Justice Ogebe promoted from nowhere and why was he no longer the lead Judge this morning.
President Yaradua's open schoolboy scheming is destroying public trust. I hope he does not destroy Nigeria.

Its okay lets move, and I also hope that Yaradua and Atiku will not waste people's time by appealing. But Yaradua and his Agf should stop the Kindagarten spin. Its not working.

@skyblue

Its gross injustice alright, but it was one taken in cognizance of the fragile polity and for national security thus common sense had to be applied.

I hope our National security will not be fragile forever

Because there is no evidence to show that in 8years time someone will not rig another election and remain in power because of fragile National Security.

But why was Saharareporters shut down though

A President who manipulates Judges and shuts the media only reminds one of a tyrant.

Lets see what he is all about, Nobody should protest over this ruling because if it went in favour of Buhari or Atiku. I dont see how its in Nigeria's favour.

However, I have found more reasons not to trust Yar'adua either.

Like someone said in another thread and I totally agree

It is not victory for democracy
it is not victory for justice

It is simply victory for common sense.

I hope President Yaradua will learn to be a man.

This is the victory of common sense over justice, Good tiding Mr Prez , now fix the power crisis will u.

That sums it up, it is no victory for democracy, it is no victory for justice: , it is simply victory for common sense

Lets hope Yaradua will have the spine to rule Nigeria and take decisions like a man.

Maggie Williams claims there is nothing devisive about distributing this photo

The question is, when has it become her duty to campaign for Obama. If they want to campaign for Obama they should simply quit the race and join Obama to defeat McCain.

May be Kathleen Sebelius may not have gone to Yale or Havard, but I don't see what Hillary brings to the table that Kathleen does not.

Obama can not promise new kind of politics in November and yet embrace the politics of yesterday in the form of Hillary.

Gov of Kansas and shares a lot of political views as Obama

Hillary has simply undermined her self so much, did u see her publicly denying Nafta and her Health policies? She is such an actor.

At this point I dont see how Obama/Hillary ticket will work except she puts up another stunt appologising to Obama in Cleveland Ohio on Tuesday.

Gov Kathleen Sebelius for Obama's VP.

Good choice to pacify senior white women voters

I think Doyin has concluded this topic

There is no evidence to suggest that John McCain will last longer than Fidel Castro.

Wishing silently is different from a Presidential nominee saying publicly that he wishes Castro dead.

LadyT

I am in no denial, that is why I said "serial" is not enough to describe some guys, "consecutive" rather.

But sometimes guys are not serious about it, it just makes guys feel good talking to the opposite sex and seeing her blushing

The last time I checked it is not yet a criminal offence.

Na only serial toaster? how about consecutive toaster?

Ignore John McCain's popularity, it will fizzle out when the time comes

He talks about being fiscally responsible and having high morals on finance, but he has 51 lobbyists raising money for his campaign. When the time comes he will tell Americans how he was able get out of his once financial crisis.

He talks publicly of not knowing anything about economics also proposes that America should fund the war in Iraq for another 100years. So dumb!!!!

He claims there is no need for change and that Obama's call for change is just an eloquent nothing. May be the recession, housing and energy crisis are just fine and should remain.

When the time comes, David Axelrod will paint his administration as an extension of Gorge W. Bush and his whole candidacy will be reduced to a referendum on Gorge W. Bush and his policies.

So ignore John McCain, he will only win the general election if Hillary becomes democratic nominee.
Being a Prisoner of war does not qualify one as President, besides that its not the smartest thing to allow the security of a Nation in the hands of a man who bears so much hate as a result of his war sufferings.

I am just watching John McCain, there is nothing Presidential about him.

Short-tempered, talks anyhow etc

From CNN to BBC to MNSBC to AFP all agree that this two people share a lot in common policywise

I guess if the no brainer Obama did not discuss his policies I wonder how he was able to talk about these similarities the media houses are talking about.

I personally watched that debate live because of people who come to nairaland to say Obama can't do debates. Any person who thinks Obama did not hold his own at the Texas debate is simply looking for something else.

you are not the only one who watched the debate

Hillary has no Firewall strategy, her strategy is rather that of a figher fighter (I mean extinguishing at the last minute with a hose).

How can any good manager plan that primaries will end on February 5 when the election time table shows that primaries end in June.

Her whole strategy depends on the failure of her opponent not the success of her team.

There was even no room for plan B in case election went past February 5, what a poor Judgement. (reminds everyone of voting for a war in Iraq that has no exit strategy).
