Obama 'another Nelson Mandela'

[semiautomatix]

No just 20 years in a bigoted cesspool

Lets be fair it's not only ANC comrades crying. Castro, Charvez, Glowing Ahemi, Putin, Mugabe and {insert tyrant here} are all weeping with joy. Pity it all came too late for Saddam

Dude honestly, just

W...

T...

F...???

I take it you've never heard of the Trinity United Church then

C'mon - this is a preposterous statement.

45-50% of Americans did not vote for Obamessiah - they voted for the Democratic Party.
Another 5-10% voted against Dubya beaise they're sick of the war and sick of the same.

Obama's race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's race had nothing to do with it.

So there's little point in saying "gee, the Americans were big enough to elect a black man".

Obama's race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's race had nothing to do with it.
Obama's race had nothing to do with it.

Gee, the Americans were big enough to elect a black man when they could've gone for the traditional white male option, well done to them.

Obama may be just what America needs, but only time will tell. But please how can she compare him to Neslon Mandela??!!

I think her meaning is that Obama is a unifier - he wants people to work together, like Mandela did. He's not a divider.

"Obama's race had nothing to do with it."

Yes, but that would be what makes it a big deal.

There is nothing big about electing someone on skin colour. That would be retarded.

If the Americans voted for a man cause he's black, then they should not be applauded, they should be slammed. But if they voted for the man who best aligns to their interests and ideals, without letting race enter the equation, then they have voted correctly.

Very well put.
