About Barack Obama

[Wahalla]

mg I think like most of the world he is probably the best political leader there is currently. Except Pakistan. I think Mcain would have been as good a Preskdent. I saw a comment that he lost the debate because of his control of the minutae and his debate was too fact dense.
I think that there is no way another African American can be President in because Obama set the bar so high.

Funny thing in one of the whitest country in the world Norway, they would consider u mad if u even said u thought Romney would be a good Prsident

Well I feel somewhat relieved. You know i had forgotten about the gay marriage thing, Yes I bet that would turn off a lot of Jamaicans.

No to worry my dear... your faith in your Great Country should be PERMANENTLY restored

The Young People voted more than in 2008
The Black Vote voted more than in 2008
The Women's Vote voted more than in 2008
The Hispanic Vote voted more than in 2008


Who says that Old White Folks are the only ones dedicated and interested in voting??


Not anymore baby... Not anymore! Voter Suppression isn't working... quite the opposite... if you love something FIGHT for it


Love your country baby... love your Country... fight for it!


When all is said... it remains the ONE true bastion of freedom and democracy... IN THE WORLD


Believe that... let no one tell you oterwise... has NOT HAPPEN YET!


People here are more interested in your election than our own


Cuz if the Light of freedom, justice and tolerance goes out in America... God Help Us!!


ALL.... ALL!!


Here, there... every-****ing-where!!


You can say that the Right Wing is just misguided... but NO! They are no different than the ****ing Taliban


Dragging us backward into a race-suppressing, women-suppressing, sexual-orientation suppressing, birth control suppressing, global warming denying, rich tax-cut providing, government funding suppressing DARK AGES

My Jamaican husband's response to this election, See it deh.

I would like your opinion on this. It has reached my ears that a great many Jamaicans are now disenchanted with Barack. Can you tell me , in your opinion, why this might be the case ?

Interesting you would say this Wahalla. http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf..._soon_whe.html Christie maintains that he intends to run for governor again in '13. From what I have read, Booker has told his staff that they are on vacation until the first off December, at which time it is rumored that he will throw his hat in the ring for the governorship. It is well known that most presidential candidates come from the various state houses. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes...n-you-thought/.

Corey Booker is the current mayor of Newark, New Jersey's largest city. He's been a pro-active person in dealing with a very depressed urban area. He is a graduate of Stanford University, Yale Law School, and a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford. At Stanford he ran The Bridge, a student-run crisis hotline and organized help for youth in East Palo Alto, from Stanford students. Booker received a J.D. in 1997 from Yale Law School, where he operated free legal clinics for low-income residents of New Haven. Crime reduction has been such a central concern to the Booker Administration that Booker, along with his security team, was known to personally patrol the streets of Newark until times as late as 4 a.m. Crime has dropped significantly in the city of Newark, which led the nation in violent crime reduction from 2006 to 2008. After Hurricane Sandy destroyed much of the shoreline areas of New Jersey and New York in late October 2012, Booker invited Newarkers still without power to eat and sleep in his home.

He is known for his reputation as a public servant, including going on a 10-day hunger strike outdoors to draw attention to the dangers of open-air drug dealing, shoveling the driveway of a constituent upon request, allowing hurricane victims into his home, and saving a woman from a house fire at his own risk. Wow! Does that make him a (gasp)[COMMUNITY ACTIVIST?

I would like your opinion on this. It has reached my ears that a great many Jamaicans are now disenchanted with Barack. When he won four years ago there was great jubiliation in the streets. I took some Obama T shirts wih me to give friends and you would have thought I had passed out gold bricks. So 1. Is this your opinion as well? and 2. Can you tell me , in your opinion, why this might be the case ?

sum blakks ar disenchanted widd de mixxed race man cah aff de "blakk face oyinbo politrixx" wey a gawn. doan figgit dat jamaica ave histaree aff "blakk" primeminister so wii natt blinded bye de newness like moas merikkans blakks wey so enchanted dat dem lose dem abilitee fe reason critikkallee widd regard to imm politrixx.moas jamaicans still enchanted cah dem blinded dat wan mixxed race got to da top. yuh still a give out mixxed race man tee shirt da bettar qwestian iss y soo manee blakk merikkkans still enchanted widd mixxed race man?

[j-kid]

Totally disagree wid yuh pan dat point. Personally mi is biased, but mi tink smaddi of Jamaican parentage can com along an follow in him footsteps. Matta of fact, many people believed dat, if Colin Powell wid him popularity back den, if him did noh goh listen tuh him wife an did run, him woud ah did win di Presidency

............because Obama set the bar so high.

The real problem is that not enough are disenchanted wid him.
I really cyaan ovastand how a man can do all the same things his predecessor has done and other things bush didn't do and still get this raving support from blk ppl and Jamaicans.
Maybe it's cah him have a nice wife and couple a yutes, mi nuh kno, but if ppl can accept a man who is only change for the corporate masters as more and more liberties are freely givin' away in the name of "protectiing our country against terrorism" Dis is pure chubble.

I guess mi wi neva ovastand it, if a yt man did a duh de same ting nuff ppl wid a bawl, jus like when bush did een deh.
