What Americans are saying of our Son

but then of course, Barrack Obama hasn't actually said he was going to run for president yet. He will wait until after this November 2006 Election. I can tell you, I am taking a deep breath, keeping my fingers crossed, and praying that Obama will accounce his candidacy, and lead us out of this NIGHTMARE that Bush & Co. have created for all but the very wealthy.

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, PLEASE. How refreshing would it be to finally have a Commander-In-Chief who shows genuine concern for the average middle class American citizen? One who seriously takes providing healthcare, implementing active measures to preserve our environment and endangered species, improve our educational system and infrastructures, and can communicate articulately and possesses intelligence, charm, humour and charisma. He would extricate us from a illegal and completely useless and wasteful war in a country that never did anything to us.
With a leader like Obama, we won't be singled out as the most fiercely despised country in the world. I have every confidence that Barrack could salvage what is left of our pathetic country. He could restore our pride in being an American and help salvage our tattered image. NO MORE DIMWITTED, BUMBLING BUFFOON IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND NO MORE UGLY AMERICAN.
Obama would be a president that we could respect and look up to. With Obama as our president, we would no longer have to apologize for our leader and be ashamed of his actions and inactions. At last, the Democratic Party has a person that we could actually get excited about and pull out all the stops to insure that he will be our next United States President.
I feel strongly that our country will be so much better off for having President Obama and once again experiencing the joy of HAVING TAKEN OUR COUNTRY BACK!



Sample another one..
in Lati America, they've got a name for the kind of politics that Sen. Barack Obama represents: neoliberalism with a human face. It's an attempt to revive an unpopular free-market, pro-business agenda behind the leadership of someone whose personal history suggests an affinity with the exploited and oppressed.

Obama, who was elected senator from Illinois in 2004 and is now perhaps the most prominent African American politician in the U.S., is angling to play a similar role in the U.S. as he weighs a possible run for the presidency in 2008.

Consider the junior senator from Illinois' own words in his new book The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.

Early on, the reader learns that Obama shrugged off his college radicalism during the Ronald Reagan administration. "My friends and I stopped thinking and slipped into cant: the point at which the denunciations of capitalism or American imperialism came too easily," writes the man who declared on the eve of the 2004 elections that he would be willing to support the bombing of Iran.

Elsewhere, Obama offers a caricature of the left's views in order to assert his own supposed realism. "I would find myself in the curious position of defending aspects of Reagan's worldview," he writes. "I couldn't be persuaded that U.S. multinationals and international terms of trade were single-handedly responsible for poverty around the world; nobody forced corrupt leaders in Third World countries to steal from their people."

While critical of Reagan's wars in Central America and his support for apartheid South Africa, Obama backed the Cold War: "Given the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, staying ahead of the Soviets militarily seemed the sensible thing to do."

The U.S. occupation of Iraq? Obama offers criticism, but no alternative--other than increasing the military budget.

Somali War to Spill over to Kenya?

There is a big threat that the Somalia conflict is threatening to blow up the entire region. with the fundamentalist Islamists shutting the door to further negotiations, Kenya's peace is at stake

BOMB scare in Nairobi

On Wednesday this week, a word went around that a funny looking bag had been left around the GPO (General Post Office). For your information, Nairobi GPO does not house any American embassy – I mean for Kenya , Somalia or otherwise. It doesn’t even house Kenya’s most hated MPs. So you are wondering just like am doing why anybody would waste his or her bomb on letters?! Anyway the entire Nairobi was thrown into utter disarray. City residents running helter skelter.The Kenyan police in full combat gear (Not that I know what their full gear is, but Kenyan police are known to respond to a mosquito bite with a hammer, and a lion attack with a pair of good looking boxing gloves! Hah!) were on site doing some funny cleansing antics that would put Mombasa’s witch doctors to shame. Thrice bitten, forth shy. After all those movie-like antics and counter antics, the police realised that in fact it was unattended garbage. Mind you Nairobi has been very clean of late thanks to the Town Clerk John Gakuo….You just have to drop your cigarette butt on River road (Down Town Nairobi) and you will leave Nairobians scampering for safety…There is a BOMB!

Kenyan Govt Ban Underwear!!

A cartoonist friend of mine from Norway (Loefre) sent me a very funny Mail over the weekend…He was wondering how the government could ban its people from wearing underwear! He assured me that he had read in the papers and on the web (Of course not this website) that the Kenyan Government (as a Christmas present) to her people has forthwith banned Kenyans from wearing underwear. He even went ahead to do commentary cartoon on the same in the Norway national newspapers.
Well Loefre, Am not sure if underwear have been banned in Kenya. I will be wearing one today, and if you don’t hear from me soon, then know that your worst fears has been confirmed!!

Ooops! UN convention on Climate Kicks Off…

Kenya is yet again hosting a world conference on climate change and its effects. With the main motive of being a follow up to the gains made since the signing of the Kyoto protocol, (that bounds signatory members in individually or collectively limiting emissions) Kenyans will be very keen to see how our politicians will be penalised for their awful emissions that make a mockery to the very signatory.
That political climate has changed since these emissions started in 2003 cannot be gainsaid. Is this the reason why Kenya lately had an unpredictable, swaying climate?!! Over to you the UN delegates!!

Is it Time Kenyans Accomodated Gay and Lesbians?

Bomb scare in Nairobi?

Kenya is no stranger to terrorism. After having been hit twice recently, we have become thrice shy..Speculation was rife that there was bomb at the GPO today. huge traffic jams were reported in Nairobi with a high presence of security personell. the police even went ahead to block roads leading to kenyatta avenue in Panic. Do you think the police over reacted?
