Mashoga watambuliwe nje ya Amerika - Obama

Mashoga watambuliwe nje ya Amerika - Obama

US President Barack Obama has called on African governments to give gay people equal rights by decriminalising homosexual acts. Mr Obama made the comments in Senegal after meeting President Macky Sall on the first leg of his African tour. Mr Sall said Senegal was a "very tolerant" country but it was "not ready to decriminalise homosexuality".

While President Barack Obama's comments on gay rights may grab the headlines in the Western media, his Senegalese counterpart's response - "Senegal is not yet ready to decriminalise homosexuality" - may just be what many Senegalese wanted to hear.

As laws legalising gay marriage were being contested in the US and France recently, rumours spread in the West African country that President Macky Sall wanted to do the same. They sparked heated discussion in the local media which forced Mr Sall's administration to clarify its position that it would not legalise same-sex unions.

Many Senegalese are of the opinion that if Mr Obama came to "change" their mentality, he has had a wasted journey. Although Senegal is not one of Africa's aggressively homophobic nations, there have been cases of violent attacks against gay men and lesbians.

The fact that Mr Obama chose to visit Senegal will be what most Senegalese are likely to focus on - and the hope that this will attract more development money and investors. His next Africa visit is in South Africa where they already recognize gay rights before landing in Tanzania where he will pay his respects at a memorial outside the US embassy in the main city, Dar es Salaam, in honour of 11 people killed in a bombing by al-Qaeda in 1998 and pay visit to the American Symbion Power station at Ubungo

He has excluded from his itinerary Kenya, where his father was born, and Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer which has been hit by an Islamist insurgency. US officials reportedly said the indictment of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta at the International Criminal Court on charges of fuelling violence after the 2007 election, which he denies, made it politically impossible for Mr Obama to visit the country. However, the United States has always opposed to ratify the Statute establishing the International Criminal Court.

Obama ni certified shoga, Google au youtube brother Nathaniel Kapner. Sasa naamini huyu jamaa ni kilaza na amepewa urais kutimiza ajenda za 'kabila teule' ambao wanashabikia ushoga wa ma Goy ili kuangamiza dini zao-Ukristo na Uislamu. Kwani katika bara ambalo hadi sasa kati ya wanawake 100 wanaojifungua 10 watakufa wakati wa kujifungua kwa ukosefu wa taaluma na matibabu......huwezi kuwaweka mashoga, ambao idadi yao hata haifiki 0.1% kuwa ndiyo priority. Anaishi sayari gani mtu huyu? Amewafanyia nini watu weusi wenzake (kama ni mweusi) ndni ya USA tangu aje? Bdo 90% ya wafungwa katika jela za USA ni weusi....sana kwa mashtaka ya kubambikwa k.m. Mumia na hata halijali. Hatimaye ni kuudhi na siyo kuuzi.

27 June 2013 For same-sex couples, a new financial picture

In a long awaited decision the United States Supreme Court struck down the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) on Wednesday, deeming it unconstitutional to deny federal benefits to married same-sex couples. If they live in a state that recognizes their marriage, they will be eligible for the same benefits afforded to heterosexual couples, including Social Security survivor's benefits and non-taxable inheritances after a spouse's death.

Same-sex marriage is still not legal on the federal level in the US as it is in Canada, Argentina, France, Spain, South Africa and Sweden, among other countries. But in 13 states (including California, where a second Supreme Court decision also issued Wednesday allowed same-sex marriages to resume) and the District of Columbia, same-sex couples can legally marry. Until the court decision, they enjoyed few of the rights of heterosexual married couples.

"It has the potential to have a really significant impact," said Rose Greene, a financial planner in Santa Monica, California, who counts many gay couples among her clientele. "There are roughly 1,000 distinctions in federal law where same-sex couples have been unable to have the benefit of those rules, and that's going to be wiped out."
The relative benefits or penalty will depend on the couple, their incomes, and the state they live in, Greene said. In other words, same-sex couples have a lot to celebrate, but the financial implications of the ruling could be a mixed bag, particularly when it comes to taxes. Here's a look at what comes next, financially, for same-sex married couples:
File taxes as "married filing jointly". Previously, even in states that recognized same-sex marriage, couples could file taxes jointly at the state level, but they had to file separate returns federally. That will no longer be true. Now the benefit or penalty associated with that change will depend on a couple's incomes.
For instance, a household in which both partners earn high incomes might pay more in taxes filing together if their combined pay checks push them into a higher tax bracket. Conversely, a household in which one spouse earns much more than the other - or is the primary breadwinner - will likely see a lower tax bill.
"If a couple has a joint income of $100,000, and one of them earns $70,000 and the other earns $30,000, they'll save about $1,625 in taxes" per year, Greene said. "If one spouse earns the entire $100,000 and the other has no income, the savings could be in excess of $7,700."
Inherit without tax penalty. Heterosexual married couples have long enjoyed the privilege of passing retirement assets and property to a spouse upon their death, tax free. Part of the case the Supreme Court reviewed hinged on this issue, with the plaintiff arguing she should not have had to pay more than $360,000 in estate taxes after her same-sex spouse died.
Now same-sex couples can enjoy the same benefit of this particular tax free inheritance, potentially saving them thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. This includes receiving inherited IRA and 401(k) retirement savings accounts, tax free.
Collect spousal Social Security benefits. "Right now, in same-sex couples, if one of the couple dies, the other one cannot access that person's Social Security benefits," Greene said. These benefits - paid out to retired US citizens who are at least age 62 who have worked over their lifetime and paid taxes into the scheme - have been available to heterosexual married couples.
Considering that for many couples in the US, one spouse earns more than the other, and that most Americans count on Social Security as an income stream in retirement, this is a significant benefit change. Even in the event of divorce, an ex-spouse is eligible to collect a spousal benefit from Social Security as long as the marriage lasted 10 years.
Receive health insurance benefits from a spouse, tax free. In states that allowed employees to put a same-sex spouse on a company or government health insurance plan, the monetary benefits to the spouse were considered taxable income.
"It's been very expensive for same-sex couples to keep their spouses on health insurance," said Deb Kinney, an estate planning and tax attorney in Santa Rosa, California. But that is now going to change.

Escape the gift tax. "Let's say someone adds their same-sex spouse to the deed of a house," offered Chris Long, a financial planner in Chicago. "Under DOMA, that was considered a gift." The gifter would have to file a gift tax return and it would be taken off the amount that could be inherited tax free from his or her estate, Long explained. Any amount over $13,000 would be considered a gift. Heterosexual spouses have been able to give unlimited gifts to each other, tax free. Same-sex spouses will soon enjoy the same benefit.
Get tax deductions for co-adopting a child. Not all states currently allow same-sex spouses to adopt a child together, but that is also going to change with the end of DOMA. Co-adoption enables both parents to make decisions regarding the child's welfare and to be recognized as a legal parent of the child. The financial advantage is to be "eligible for greater deductions for that child", said Greene.
Be eligible for a partner's retirement plan. In pension plans that include a spousal benefit, a same-sex spouse will now be able to receive that retirement savings after the pensioner spouse dies.
Overall, the Supreme Court's decision this week will impact same-sex couples in many ways at the federal level as they gain access to the programs heterosexual couples have used for years and new benefits in the future. "For the people who are most vulnerable", said Kinney, "that's really important."

Obama tells Africans that gays deserve equality

US President Barack Obama hit out at discrimination against gays in Africa and hailed the continent's "amazing" progress and potential Thursday on the first leg of a three-country tour.

But Obama had to struggle to keep his message of economic development and democratisation to the fore in Senegal, as Nelson Mandela's fading health and a spy standoff with Moscow stole attention.

Crowds lined Dakar's streets to see Obama's motorcade and drummers heralded Obama at the presidential palace, suggesting locals, unlike many Americans, still cling to the "Yes We Can" optimism of his first term.

But controversies gripping Washington followed Obama to Africa and drew him onto delicate ground when he was asked by reporters about a US Supreme Court ruling on same sex marriage in a country where homosexuality is a crime.

Obama, the son of a Kenyan, said he understood different religions and cultures prized distinct beliefs and traditions, but that the simple principle of equality should be the guide for states and governments.

"I want the African people to just hear what I believe," Obama said.

"My basic view is that regardless of race, regardless of religion, regardless of gender, regardless of sexual orientation, when it comes to how the law treats you... people should be treated equally."

Senegalese President Macky Sall replied that though Senegal was a "very tolerant country which does not discriminate in terms of inalienable rights of the human being", it was not ready yet to decriminalise homosexuality.

"But of course this does not mean that we are all homophobic," he added.

Obama said he still planned to head for South Africa on Friday, despite speculation that with anti-apartheid icon Mandela apparently close to death, his plans could be thrown into disarray.

The president said he was drawn into political activism by Mandela as a student, and had been inspired by his example in embracing his long-time captors in a spirit of national unity.

"I think he is a hero for the world and if and when he passes from this place, one thing I think we will all know is, his legacy is one that will linger on through the ages," Obama said.

White House officials haven't definitively ruled out the idea that Obama could visit Mandela's hospital room when he arrives in South Africa, but said they will defer to the ex-president's family's wishes.

Obama also said Thursday he would not wheel and deal with Russia to secure the return of fugitive US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden, who is holed up in limbo in Moscow airport.

But he appeared keen to bring the focus back to Africa.

"We're here in Africa and I don't want people to forget why we're here," Obama said.

"The fact of the matter is that Africa oftentimes is not focused on by our press and our leadership back home unless there's a crisis."

In between formal commitments, Obama paid a poignant visit to Goree Island, a potent symbol of the horrors of slavery.
 
Duru zinaarifu uvunjivu wa maadili umeibuka kwenye mazungumzo ya faragha kati ya Rais wa marekani Barrack Obama na Rais wa senegal macky Sall.
Obama akiwa safarini (South Africa, Senegal and Tanzania) ametoa maoni yake kwenye taifa la senegal moja ya demokrasia zilizostawi africa kuhusu usawa wa mashoga.
maoni haya yametokea muda mfupi tu baada na uamuzi wa rufaa ya jimbo la carlifornia ulioafikiwa hivi maajuzi kutoka kwa mahakama kuu ya kimarekani.
maoni yake Rais Obama yametolewa baada ya rais Macky Sall kusifiwa kwa kudumisha viwango vya juu vya demokrasia.
Ripoti ya hivi majuzi iliyotolewa na chombo cha dola cha amnesty international imeyakosoa mataifa za Senegal, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, na Nigeria kwa kutozingatia usawa wa mashoga huku ikisisitiza maoni ya Obama italeta mafanikio kwa mataifa ya afrika.
 
Kibaridi, mbona unaniangusha mkuu wangu? Hii mipasho ungewaachia watu wa taarab.

Obama hajaagiza, ila ametoa maoni yake and infact ameenda mbele zaidi na kufafanua kuwa hili halikuongelewa kwenye mazungumzo yao ya faragha! Sasa wewe sijui umenunua wapi hilo dish lako - linakupa habari unazotaka.

NB: Obama angekuwa anatembelea kwenye kwenye hii safari yake, I am sure usingeleta hii mipasho!

..haya yanajiri ikizingatiwa Senagal ni taifa inayoendeshwa katika misingi ya dini ya kiisilamu..itakumbukwa Obama mwenyewe anakiri Uislamu..je, itawezekana Senegal kutozingatia maagizo ya kidini ndo marekani waweze kuhidhinisha ahadi za misaada ya kifedha, kijeshi, kitaalamu/kisayansi...nk
Ripoti ya hivi majuzi iliyotolewa na chombo cha dola cha amnesty international imeyakashifu mataifa za Senegal, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, na Nigeria kwa kutozingatia usawa wa mashoga huku ikisisitiza kauli ya Obama italeta mafanikio kwa mataifa ya afrika.
