Obama Mania

Hey guys, I have spent like a week without posting something here..what!!!. I have not been feeling well, but iam o.k
Some guys here are running crazy with USA Politics and I should admit I too is jumpimng the bandwagon.Yaah..yaah..me love it.
The Obama mania is electrifying the campus and you can't move passed two students without out hearing one mentioning Obama.


Born to a black Kenyan father and a white American mother,Obama lived most of his childhood in Honolulu, Hawaii. From ages six to ten, he lived in Jakarta with his mother and Indonesian stepfather. Heis a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Obama worked as a community organizer, University of Chicago lecturer, and civil rights lawyer before running for public office and serving in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. After an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for U.S. Senate in 2003.


His rise is not just by luck but his vast knowledge of issues.His Boston speech, on July 27, 2004, lasted 15 minutes and helped to put him on the map. The Chicago Herald said he "hit every note," the right-wing commentator Robert Novak called him one of the Democrats' hottest properties and the Augusta Chronicle dubbed him the party's "promising new cub."

When he made the Boston speech he was not even yet in Congress: He was a Chicago lawyer running at the time for one of two Illinois seats in the US Senate. That race was in itself a long shot: a black man, as he says in his first book Dreams from My Father, "without organizational backing or personal wealth, and with a funny name," competing to become only the third African American since the post-civil war period of Reconstruction to serve in the Senate. He won, galvanizing support in white areas as well as black.


The Democratic nomiations in USA are entering a weird stage of the campaign. Some of the euphoria about the history-making aspects of the Clinton and Obama campaigns is giving way to anxiety over how long their fight for the nomination will continue, and whether that long and increasingly bitter struggle is damaging the party’s chances in November.

Its about CHANGE Vs EXPRIENCE
Can we wait for Obama suprise

But i once read on South African Magazine called Drum. A long time ago. Very long time. A story on Credo Mutwa. The fortune teller, best ever in Southern Africa. He predicted a woman becoming a president some where. I donno sef...just that i have a feeling with too much racism in the US like it already is, those white guys cannot allow to be ruled by a black person. I'm smelling some shit there guys. World War 3 maybe...
