Don't worry masood, We  (Obama Heads) are magnanimous in victory.We
ain't gonna bargain with your forged lady of steel though. That is
where we draw the line. This is Barack Obama's democratic party now.
Y'all better get used to it.



Withregards to Suntou's assertion that Barack's speech at AIPAC was a
disaster...well what can I say? Except to say that I disagree with his
characterization. Israeli-Palestinian issues is a landmine in American
politics. I abhor organizations like AIPAC, but the practicalities of
American politics made it virtually suicidal to pick a fight with them
before you even made it to the white house. He will be in charge of the bully pulpit come January and I am not sure if he can change the dynamics of the Israeli - Palestinian issue with a magic wand. It is going to take some tough concessions on both sides.

JDAM,
 
I was just going to give my concession speech to Moribolong but you just  
broadsided me. I'll hold off for a moment until I understand my
Suntou's angst.  
I'm thinking along the same lines you are, and I think Suntou's
reaction is a  
result of what he did not appreciate in Obama month's ago. I think like 
Suntou,  many more are in for a rude awakening. I, on the other hand,
understood 
these  dynamics moons ago and I appreciated Obama for it. So Obama has not 
changed his  positions nor posture. Suntou was just beginning to understand
Obama. 
I hope I  can explain it better for Suntou to appreciate Obama even though 
Suntou seemed  to be shocked. It's all good Suntou.
 
Haruna.

Welcome to the United States of America, to  the politics of special 
interests, and to a foreign policy fundamentally  anchored in aggressive
hubris. 
 
Obama's journey has great  symbolic significance, but the character of the 
United States is not amenable  to your expectations. Not even if Obama served 
two terms, and even where your  Haruna is his Vice President. He must of course

satisfy the constitutional  hurdle of natural birth in the US
of A.
 
I  would rather concentrate on  Jammeh.

what on earth was obama thinking? before he even start he is  bending the
diplomatic rules. no wonder some where suspicious of him. the  arrogance of
israle is out for every one to see yet obama who was talking  like an angel 
turn
around like a poppy. but heeey, the sponsors want their  dollar's worth.
what
a mess. obama is supported by minorities of every sort  but today after his
disaster speech, people must weigh their options, do  they want the same old
kind of american leaders? who will give a blind eye  to their allies crimes. i
am shell shocked. but who am i to question the  eloquent african american? 
obama
has pass his first test.
