I have no idea what you're talking about Bailo vis-a-vis Barack and the  USA. 
That's what I say about you PDOIS-heads.
 
"Haruna, Your citation of what Barack now means to you"  Bailo.
 
Not what Barack NOW means to me. He has meant that to me from his days in  
South Chicago. NOW was when I thought Barack shared it with you PDOIS-heads in  
digestible form. What is wrong with you? You probably still don't get it. New  
Gambians!!!!
 
"is very inspiring and encouraging." Bailo.
 
Indeed. Always has been encouraging and inspiring. Not to  Forrrrrrrget (as 
our friend Arafat is wont to caution PBUH) Bobby Jindal,  Governor of 
Louisiana, and Indian-American. I guess you will now get it Bailo.  You guys frustrate 
me so friggin much.
 
"We hope and pray that the U.S of A is on the verge of another great  
revolution that will confirm to humankind that with hope, self-belief, hardwork  and 
dedication; the human potential can reach destinies hitherto unthinkable in  
the past. YES WE CAN!" Bailo.
 
This is exactly what I mean. What Barack shares or means to the USA is  that 
we must not rely on the USA's calendar of revolutions to confirm what you  
posited immediately above. Our self-revolution must come to pass despite other's  
calendars. Hope, self-belief, hardwork, and dedication are the  pre-requisite 
ingredients for the human's journey toward achieving  hitherto insurmountable 
odds. To the extent your journey traverses or parallels  my journey, The 
fortunes of the USA are affected, one way or the other. So let's  leave the USA 
out of this. PDOIS!!!
 
"I have not forgotten the photo you promised me. I want it for my photo  
gallery." Bailo.
 
Wait a minute Bailo. I thought I sent you that photo shortly after I  
promised it. And here I am thinking you had received it but I didn't look as  
beautiful as I claim and you refuse to even thank me for it. Whew. That's a load  off 
my friggin back. Ok so you probably didn't get it. I shall send it again  
later today or tomorrow. I'm just curious, why did you wait till I'm down to  
share that you still haven't received what I promised? Or did you all of a  
sudden love me again to desire my picture because you think I'm joining your  
movement in which you have hijacked OBAMA??? I want an answer. Don't do like  
Jengfann and brother Suntou; Run away to Posten when you have unfinished  business 
here at Ellen. We're not havin it.
 
"Welcome aboard!" Bailo.
 
Aboard where? If this ship has you and Jengfann as captain, I want off  right 
now. I dunno about Mori, but that man is too invested in Obama to see  
clearly. I will deal with him through his family in Missouri who haven't seen  his 
behind for 17 years only to drop in on them unannounced and ask them for  votes 
for Obama.  I don't blame the family for not picking him up at the  friggin 
airport. I heard he spent the night on the airport sofas. And this goes  to 
UDP, NRP, APRC, NADD. You beta reconise (kids don't try this at home)  before 
election time.

Easy Bailo.
 
Ron, as the idiot Joe is wont to quip. How many times do I have to tell  that 
PDOIS head its Rone, and Rashid for him and Jengfann? Masoud. MQJGDT.  Darbo. 
Al Khairawan.

When I see and hear Barack, I see  me, my brothers from Latin America, Asia, 
Arabia, and the Pacific Isles.  Possibilities that can accrue from good 
education, discipline, industry, and  due-diligent consideration. 
Possibilities 
accelerated by the benign  ambiances of the greatest nation on earth at 
present, 
America. Barack is the  guiding light and spirit of the newer American 
immigrants defying hitherto  awesome odds.

Barack reminds me that we are indeed the change we yearned  (Ghandhi - Be the 
change you seek),
that we are indeed the ones we've  been waiting for. These two statements and 
Barack's life examples reaffirm  to me that we are our own prophets, 
consecrated from birth with the building  blocks of our lives from creation. 
That when 
we look for prophets and savior  in other, we engage in foolhardy and 
tomfoolery.

Barack reminds me  that like whites, hispanics, asians, and arabs, blacks 
also desire  favourable ambiance for the comforts of life on earth and 
spiritual  
conditioning for life in the heavens. That instead of wallow in despondency,  
hopelessness, and listlessness, we must be inspired by example of our own  
kind. That that is the movement of YES WE CAN. The growing awareness that no  
one 
can free us but ourselves when we so desire. I thank Barack for the  
inspiration. I will benefit greatly from my witness of him. That in all our  
endeavors 
and dreaming, we must tether unbridled hope to firmer moorings of  the 
realities of democratic life. Democracy is maximally appreciated when  
citizens 
recognize their self worth and potential value.

I will take  Barack's message and synthesize it for my life. I will share it 
with my  family, friends, and fellow citizens. That will be the climactic 
movement  for real change we can believe in.
