Bro Captain -
Good to hear from you. Great comments from both you and the politician of the Year 2013, ala Demba Baldeh.
Humor aside, great reviews Mawdo Demba & thanks. I wanted to promise you a part 2, and I figured that both you and Captain Camara did that better than I would have imagined.
Best for 2014,
Yero.

Brother Khaleel, I second your observation. I must also add even his republican haters were confused about the speech and they can visibly be seen liking his lines through smiles and irresistible nodding. If only they will corporate with him this country would have been on a very strong footing for the near future. You wonder why you don't hear about the auto industry, housing market, unemployment rate, Gas prices, the stock market, the deficit, war in Iraq, war on Al qaida, the financial market among others??? These have all been turned around under his watch...
I really once again admire how the politics of divide was for at least an hour and half put away to cheer around things that binds them and brings American pride... I keep asking and thinking why can't our politicians and citizens demonstrate such patriotism, such love for country and admiration for services to our people. Where are our leaders and national heroes I asked Rhetorically...
We need a leadership revolution, a social revolution, and a nationalistic revolution... We need our people to put country first before anything else. Not ourselves, our families or individual achievement... For now I don't see that for Gambia...
Thanks Yero (the master politician) for sharing. You earned a new title as Chief political commentator lol
Regards
Demba

Yero,
President
Obama's speech was beautifully crafted and masterfully delivered. He demonstrated
mature politics and seasoned leadership at best. With the understanding that no
human is complete and without faults, I will like to say that president Obama
is a charismatic leader to emulate, he puts majority of our African leaders to
shame. Leadership for the most part is an individual sport, the fruits of which
can help touch the lives of all or hinder the progress of most and threaten
peace, stability and unity for generations. We can only continue to hope that
our generation of leaders can and will provide and encourage inclusive
leadership, tolerance, respect for the people and laws of the land if we must
have a shot peace, progress and democracy.

The Barack Obama Exclusive
The President of the United States in his humorous nature
addressed the world during his State of the Union address yesterday. Even the
troublesome and one of the stubbornness Republican Speakers of the House,
Boehner was seen offering smiles and cheers in the background. It says a lot
about political civilization.
What I heard was a leader that cared about the citizens; one
that used his effort, leadership power and resources to empower people on
voice, justice, health care, jobs, education, equality and full citizenship
rights.
The question bounces back to Africa and some of its leaders.
What lessons do you draw from yesterday’s speech? Are you still willing to go
that route where you keep insulting innocent citizens, following up on self
aggrandizement, committing all forms of criminal acts of injustices and
political power grabbing?
It is time for everyone to look through the mirrors in self
reflection. America being one of the greatest democracies on earth, and yet
some of the most humble leaders (Excuse me, Mr. War Monger George W. Bush I am
yet to address you) can be found within such democracy. If you are in any
position (minor or major leadership), start changing your way. If you are
aspiring to lead, take great lessons from those that have done it the right
way. While it is tempting and paranoia is one hell of a disease that puts
people in positions to where they think they are doing the right thing,
leadership should be about the welfare of the governed. It should be done with
humility and sense of responsibility. Greatness of leaders lies within their
sincere service to world citizens; and not how much they enriched themselves at
the expense of a poor farmer in Batta-kunku who cannot even have his 3 daily
meals correct. To those crooked ones, who like to attach themselves to criminal
political administrations for their personal interest, please think twice. You
will still be out of there one day.
People won’t stop talking about failed systems and
administrators because we are not satisfied. The more that we see others do it
right, the more determined we are to call on those doing it wrong to stop the
impunity.
Barack –You once again make us proud. Best wishes to the
rest of the presidency with more political confrontations with Speaker Boehner
and the rest of those that politically matter.
Kind regards,
Yero
