It is with great interest  I been following the  Obama  news ... what actually  gets to me is  the  " America's  first black President "  thing ...   why the  white / black thing ??
Hey  in the pages of my book  he's just another american  who caught the right wave and yes landed the presidency ..  yes the american folk put him there cos maybe they tired of the  usual  mistakes of the WASP ( white anglo saxon protestant) presidents of past ... cos yes sady  so  America  is in a mess  cos of theirGreat over rated  "  AMERICAN DREAM " ... so yes why not try something different ... ???   why not try a guy that really has to prove himself ..? or  yes is going to think differently .. out of the box  ?? \

I absolutley abhor this kowtowing to  race ..  we seen it  here .. a good example is   Danisa Baloyi .. who was  implicated in the Arthur W Brown  Fidentia scandal whereby  poor miners widows and orphans  pension fund  was robbed  blind ...  The dishonourable Mr Brown   offered her a directorship   of the fidentia  trust fund ...  clever man ... with  her name on board  he could convince  the  pension funds  to transfer the monies to them ... meanwhile this woman who  originally out of courage and  resourcefullnes  pulled herself to a position of power eventually  had so many  directorships ( if i remeber correctly  something in the region of  40 + )  that she could not  manage let alone know what was going on ...  that allowed the dishonourable Brown to  rob the funds ...   she  was a  sad victim of the kowtowing ..  even herself forgetting where she came from ..  elevated to the post of  " saint of black  empowerment " that  power is toxic ..   she sadly  and courageously eventually admitted that  and  resigned a lot of her directorships  and has yes disapeared of the financial radar  to all extents ..  sad cos i think  she started right  .. but yes got led astray ...
I go ack to my fathers words ... " never ever forget where you came from ""

Sorry to say this, but in my eyes just another politician fighting for his own pocket and means to fill his own coffers with hard earned tax payers money.  All promises and no delivery.  They are all just the same all over the world, no matter what skin colour of political party they belong to....
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier. Friendship is a sheltering tree.

To be clever enough to get a great deal of money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of other cannot keep it from themselves.

I think Obamamania may die down fast if he does perform miracles which seems to be the expectation.  I caught a bit of the We Are One concert on MNET the other night what a self-congratulating, we are the greatest nation on earth bunch of drivel!  All these stars who are suddenly Obama supporters - would love to get a sneak peek at their votes during the elections.  It's rather a pity because the yanks I met in the States aere really down-to-earth nice people in general.  It's their media and politicians that suck and of course their tourists outside the US.

I think that initially this guy is full of good intentions...but give it a month or so and the wheel will turn......... all politicians are the same, regardless of the colour of their skins......  :nono1:

I am still a huge Obam fan and I found his speech to be practical and rather heartwarming yesterday.  Bet Dubya was squirming though. 
What no-one should forget is that although he is the leader of the US; American politics have a very strong history of big business and self-interest lobbyists who persuade (buy?) senators and congressmen/women to support their causes/bills and the president doesn't always get to veto bills he doesn't like.  Pragmatism is the order of the day - like it or not.
I hope not to be proved wrong but I think Obama will remain a man of integrrity and humility.

Lets throw some more wood on the fire and see what kind of debate we can create....

Heard this before ...any comments?

"Nostradamus made the prediction and is said that Nostradamus predicted Obama is the Antichrist. I have not formed an opinion but clink on to the link for more info.Here are two of Nostradamus Quatrains:
243
The great empire will be torn from limb,
The all-powerful one for more than four hundred years:
Great power given to the dark one from slaves come,
The Aryana will not be satisfied thereby.

Century II, Quatrain 62
"Mabus then will soon die, there will come Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run."

Nostradamus prophesized the name of the antichrist is "Mabus." This can relate to why Obama is the antichrist. If you write obama+bush, you get obamabush. Obviously, if Obama were defeated, then this prediction by Nostradamus would be less credible. You decide! Fact, Fiction or a bunch of crap.

A little more disturbing about this theory is that Raymond Edwin "Ray" Mabus, Jr. (born October 11, 1948) is an American business and political leader. Based in Mississippi, he works on international business matters, is involved in political campaigns.

In May 2007, he endorsed U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL, for president, and is serving as a senior adviser to the campaign. Look this man up for yourself on Wikipedia. This theory is pretty scary for this sort of thing.

Another interesting theory. Remember the Maya's, that ancient civilization that lived in the Mesoamerica's since 2,600 BC. The Maya's had an extremely complicated method of keeping track of time, based on three separate calendars. The most important, most encompassing of these calendars holds the `Long Count': the period from the beginning until the end of time. And on December 21st 2012, the Long Count expires. It will be point zero. Time will be up for the Universe. It will be, literally, the end of days. It would also be the end of Barack Obama's four-year term. Sounds like it is a bunch of crap but...is it?"

Very very interesting....   also got something similar, but was not as daring as you to post it here, Mike!
Yes, would sure be good to see all the response .....

Dont  bother too much with the nostradamus ..  trying  to read it gives me a headache ... whatever the future is  so be it ...  it all goes in cycles ...  up down .. evil wins .. then goodness  overwhelms the  evil etc .. wherever i am when whatever happens I just hope my guardian angels are around ..  we could attach the antichrist to so many  people  currently holding power ..
