Don't be so cheeky. Its "Our Lady of forged Steel". We do not desire  a 
bargain from Barack or his obama-heads. We demand respect and consideration  
commensurate with our value in votes. We will encourage our supporters to stand  
with all Democrats and support Barack, to wrest the white house from  Republicans.

Moribolong
Don't get so excited as to put your silver foot in your mouth. I don't  think 
Barack understands it to be his democratic party nor would he wish it  were.

[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.] Moribolong. _http://gambian.blogspot.com_

I, on the other hand appreciate AIPAC, or the Arab American lobby in  
America. I understand they have a valuable part to play in any democracy. And  unlike 
you, I think if anyone stands a good chance of yielding peace and respite  
from the cycle of violence in Israel and Palestine, It is Barack.  Where Barack 
cannot get it done, there is less opprtunity for McCain or  Hillary. Think of 
it this way; Clinton and McCain have more of an opportunity  for peace in 
Northern Ireland than Barack ever could. So Barack does not have a  magic wand but 
he has a better opportunity than McCain to yield a Negotiated  Peace, a 
contiguous Palestine alongside a secure Israel with defendable  borders.
 
One other thing I meant to share in my concession speech to you before  you 
and JDAM interrupted me was this:
I had been disappointed and upset with Barack Obama when he did not show  
respect and appreciation for what President Bill Clinton achieved for America.  
And of course I let him know. I appreciate Barack, now that he is not in  
competition with Our Lady of Forged Steel, and in his speech in Minneapolis,  when 
he showed due respect and regard for William Jefferson Clinton. I therefore  
excuse his earlier sleight of Bill Clinton because it was more strategic  
posturing than he meant. Indeed if Barack were to acknowledge Bill's value when  he 
made the comment about Reagan and Kennedy, it would have tantamount to  
handing Our Lady of Forged Steel the nomination on a silver platter. I can  excuse 
it because Barack did not deride Bill, he only failed to appreciate  him.
 
Anyway, I got other ideas for you Obama-heads. Just don't get too excited  
and lose perspective of Obama. You fuck around, you might create a new  
generation of Lazy, jobless, Obama-heads waiting for a hand out from the white  house. 
So easy. We hear you. We will let you celebrate victory come november,  but 
someone has to work in America. Punditry is not an economic activity that  can 
put food on America's tables. I know you got a job, but tell the rest to get  
a job. The celebration will be sweeter and more bountiful.
 
Go away. Masoud. MQJGDT. Darbo. Al Mutawakkil.

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

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

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.
