Hillary Clinton may not be a saint or an angel, but she is a caring and loving wife, mother and leader. Give her the chance to do her best for America, for the common good of humanity. I believe in accepting or rejecting people on their own terms and not judging anyone by what others related to them have done to me or others. What matters most in true democracy is the liberty of the conscience. Everyone must be given the chance to make a choice to vote and be voted for . May I share the following message from Hillary Clinton and I ask you to donate in support of her ca...

29 Jan 2008 05:06 Africa/Lagos State of the Union Address by President Bush WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a transcript of the State of the Union address by President Bush: Chamber of the United States House of Representatives United States Capitol 9:09 P.M. EST THE PRESIDENT: Madam Speaker, Vice President Cheney, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: Seven years have passed since I first stood before you at this rostrum. In that time, our country has been tested in ways none of us could have imagined. We faced hard decisions about peace and war, rising competition in the world economy, and the health and welfare of our citizens. These issues call for vigorous debate, and I think it's fair to say we've answered the call. Yet history will record that amid our differences, we acted with purpose. And together, we showed the world the power and resilience of American self-government. All of us were sent to Wash...

Kennedys for Clinton There are more members of the Kennedys Family supporting Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama. "She stands for Democrats and for the nation," these family members say. By Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kerry Kennedy January 29, 2008 This is a wonderful year for Democrats. Our party is blessed with the most impressive array of primary candidates in modern history. All would make superb presidents. By now you may have read or heard that our cousin, Caroline Kennedy, and our uncle, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, have come out in favor of Sen. Barack Obama. We, however, are supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton because we believe that she is the strongest candidate for our party and our country. While talk of unity and compromise are inspiring to a nation wary of divisiveness, America stands at a historic crossroads where real issues divide our political landscapes. Democrats believe that America should not be torturing people, eavesdropping on o...

28 Jan 2008 14:00 Africa/Lagos "Certainly Nigeria's persistent notoriety among eCommerce merchants is enhanced by the ubiquitous 'Nigerian Scam' letters," said Doug Schwegman, CyberSource director of customer and market intelligence. "Russia dropping off the list this year may simply mean merchants have given up shipping even digital products to that country due to negative outcomes in the past. But the real message of these findings is that fraud remains a significant issue in the lives of eCommerce merchants. We do see increasing popularity of IP Geolocation, a tool that gives merchants information on the location of an internet-connected computer based on its internet protocol address. But as always, we remind merchants that no one tool is a silver anti-fraud bullet -- that combinations of tools work best to root out cybercrime."

Toni Morrison, African American Nobel Laureate in Literature "Black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war." ~ Toni Morrison Dear Toni Morrison, The fundamental existence of the African American can only be defined by the African American experience from generation to generation and not by political stump speeches without substance and without experience. The only difference between Senator Barack Obama and former Senator John Edwards is the color of their skin. Have you read the letter Martin Luther King, III , sent to Hon. John Edwards? The brilliant recitation of paraphrased quotes is not the evidence of intelligence or wisdom, but the clever display of the gift of the gab. "Politicians of the new generation are carefully coached by their spin doctors to produce on-demand sound bites which are clear and to the point." ~ Wikipedia I know that you know nothing more about Barack Obama than his well rehearsed and ...

Antoin Rezko, indicted political godfather of Senator Barack Obama If you look closely, it's plain: Rezko is Obama's problem Up until now, politics has been so easy for Obama, with his opponents either exploding or imploding, as he ran for the Senate in Illinois. He didn't even have to run. Instead, he sauntered easily into Washington and then after just one speech at the 2004 convention he became the Democratic savior/rock star. Chicago Tribune US Senator Barack Obama I have read most of the reports on this Antoin Rezko Case and I have one question. Did American Senator Barack Obama write 419 letters to city and state officials to solicit for funds for Antoin Rezko to the tune of $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments? Americans are quick to slam Nigerians as Internet scammers and many other criminal activities online and offline, but there are more American fraudsters on earth than Nigerians. The alarming monthly crimes in the state of New York alone are more than...

I read a reference on a blogger's commentary on Senator Barack Obama's political oratory on Presidential election 2008 |Republicans Vs. Democrats and I have to comment on it. There is nothing new in the hype over the romantic rhetoric of Barack Obama's political impressionism. He has very good speech writers who have a good collection of quotes and know how best to paraphrase them. Did you not notice the glaring contrasts in the character of Barack Obama at the debates and when making his rehearsed victory speeches in Iowa and South Carolina? "Politicians of the new generation are carefully coached by their spin doctors to produce on-demand sound bites which are clear and to the point." Wikipedia

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917–November 22, 1963) Dear Caroline Kennedy, I have just read your white lies on "A President Like My Father" published by The New York Times on Sunday, January 27, 2008. Senator Barack Obama What a day to choose to tell lies to the ignorant and gullible majority of Americans and the rest of the world who do not know the history of America and the rest of the world during the tragic administration of your beloved father, the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy, whose administration ended abruptly with his assassination. JFK with little Caroline . Search the archives of The New York Times for the facts of history and the role your father played in the assassinations of the leaders of Iraq in 1963. To let the whole world know the truth, I will simply copy and paste the facts for the public knowledge. The Atrocities of JFK: Iraq In 1963, the Kennedy administration backed a coup against the government of Iraq headed by General Abdel Karim Kas...

Senator Barack Obama has won the South Carolina Primary by overwhelming votes in a state with majority of African American voters. Senator Barack Obama got 55% of the total votes cast.Senator Hillary came third with 27% of the votes and former Senator John Edwards had 18% of the votes. This was last poll for the Democrats before Super Tuesday on 5 February, when over 24 states will vote in primary contests.

Barack Obama at a political campaign rally . BEING BLACK IS NOT ENOUGH The fundamental existence of the African American is defined by the African American experience. You cannot be an African American without an African American experience. Being black and with an American citizenship is not enough. How can a biracial citizen of America who was never raised as an African American and does not have the natural African American experience suddenly be an African American? What if Barack Obama's White mother raised him up in Indonesia and he became an Indonesian citizen before returning to the US, and later became an American citizen? We have Nigerian Americans, South African Americans and so forth, who were born and bred in the US, but they are not African Americans. If you were born to an African father and a White American mother, but your African father is not an American citizen, you are first and foremost an African and not an African American. If you were born by an African...

Senator Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party and Senator John McCain of the Republican Party have won the national endorsements of The New York Times for the 2008 US presidential election. Senator Hillary Clinton Mrs. Clinton sometimes overstates the importance of résumé. Hearing her talk about the presidency, her policies and answers for America’s big problems, we are hugely impressed by the depth of her knowledge, by the force of her intellect and by the breadth of, yes, her experience. It is unfair, especially after seven years of Mr. Bush’s inept leadership, but any Democrat will face tougher questioning about his or her fitness to be commander in chief. Mrs. Clinton has more than cleared that bar, using her years in the Senate well to immerse herself in national security issues, and has won the respect of world leaders and many in the American military. She would be a strong commander in chief. ~ The New York Times Senator John McCain Senator John McCain of Arizona is the on...

Hillary Clinton, Tony Rezko and former President Bill Clinton The Drudge Report has just posted an official photograph of smiling Clintons with the notorious Chicago Slum Landlord, Tony Rezko. The ulterior motive of posting this photograph online is to signal the launch of a derogatory and retaliatroy campaign against the Clintons after Senator Hillary Clinton cited the relationship of Senator Barack Obama with Tony Rezko since 1990. To get the facts, read 8 things you need to know about Obama and Rezko . Barack Obama and his slumlord patron Why didn't City Hall stop him?

25 Jan 2008 01:13 Africa/Lagos Latino Officials Deliver Wake-Up Call CHICAGO, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- An Illinois Coalition of Latino Elected Officials today called on liberal Democratic colleagues to endorse qualified Hispanic candidates or not expect their support in return. Calls were made today by a majority of Latino elected officials representing Illinois, Cook County and Chicago political districts. "Hopefully, this will be a wake-up call for non-minority liberal Democrats," said Alderman/ Committeeman Manuel Flores, 1st Ward. "Unless they are willing to endorse qualified Latino candidates, they should not expect to seek our support for their candidacies in their wards and districts." The decision to make outreach calls came after a Wednesday meeting of the Illinois Coalition of Latino Elected Officials representing nearly two dozen Hispanic, public office holders at the city, county, state and federal levels. "It is unfortunate that so many non-m...

Barack Obama emulates Ronald Reagan: What an Irony! The Clintons have been castigated by Senator Barack Obama , his camp, surrogates and fanatics, for their critical dismissal of Obama’s approval of the so called visionary ideas of the late Ronald Reagan , the former President of America. Senator Barack Obama made the statement in an interview with the Reno Gazette Journal on Monday, January 15, 2008, before the Nevada Caucuses. Here is the link to the video on the Reno Gazette Journal , but I have decided to show you the YouTube video to save you from the trouble. Most readers and viewers did not know that Barack Obama deliberately highlighted the policy of Ronald Reagan and the Republicans to woo the Republican voters and other admirers of Ronald Reagan to caucus and vote for him. It was part of his political campaign strategy as Katharine O. Seelye accurately noted in her commentary on the New York Times of January 21, 2008. "Remember the context. Mr. Obama is speaking to v...

Attention: The State Editorial Board Re: The State editorial board's Democratic Presidential Primary Endorsement of Senator Barack Obama Senator Barack Obama May I disagree with your endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for the South Carolina Democratic Primary, because Senator Barack Obama is not the Democrat most likely to unify America. If you are really honest and transparent in your editorial board’s decision, you would have endorsed former Senator John Edwards, who is indeed the most likely Democrat to unite the United States of America across social and political dichotomies. You failed to address the questionable statesmanship of Senator Barack Obama. Barack Obama has been economical with the facts of his life, and untruthful as the following references confirm. 1. Obama and Rezko have been friends since 1990, and the Wilmette businessman has raised as much as $60,000 in campaign contributions for him. ~ Sun Times 2. Shipjack wrote a comprehensive article posted on the Dail...
