The hallmarks of leadership are not judged by political stump speeches or designer suits, but by the demonstration of bravery and wisdom in the service of humanity. I have noticed undemocratic political rancor among the Democrats and I am disappointed that Senator Barack Obama is acting more like a Republican in his press statements and his wife Michelle Obama has been using subtle tirade against Senator Hillary Clinton.

He lies that he is a "Uniter", but was privy to a Memo to blackmail the Clintons as "racist" in South Carolina and has divided the Democratic Party into blacks for Obama and blacks against the Clintons. I am a black African and I read the malicious Memo, signed by the Obama camp in South Carolina. They even lied that Bill Clinton was disrespecting Nelson Mandela of South Africa. I was involved in the mobilization of the Africa...
