Nyani.
before you make your comments, I want to ask you something. Have you been to South Side Chicago? Have you been to those slums? Do you know how under privileged these people are?
If you want to know that there is two America.. I am asking you whenever you have time in your hand to visit such a place. You will understand the nature of their frustrations..

I understand that but when you are running for the presidency you have to undergo a thorough background check and what that check uncovers will affect the voters perception and fortunately or unfortunately it (perception) matters.

what perception? do you want to tell us that Obama's perception was tarnished b'se of this? does this make HRC or McCain look better compared to BO? if yes, do you think that's fair? the guy was in a no win situation and he did a good job in answering difficulties qns, just give him some credit. what you would do if you were in his shoes?........@ the end of the day i see voters sympathy towards Obama, bcoz the guy is taking fire from both sides and is unfairly targeted!!! he just can't be guilty by association. luckly, american voters are smart enuff to fall into that trap!!.

Democrat Barack Obama expanded his fragile lead in delegates over rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday, picking up nine delegates as Iowa activists took the next step in picking delegates to the national convention.

More than half the 14 delegates allocated to John Edwards on the basis of caucus night projections switched Saturday to Obama.

Iowa Democratic Party officials said that with all of the delegates picked, Obama claimed 52 percent of the delegates elected at county conventions on Saturday, compared with 32 percent for Clinton. Some of the delegates picked at Saturday's conventions were sticking with Edwards, even though he's dropped from the race since Iowa held its caucuses in January.

Democratic Party projections said the results mean Obama increased by nine the number of delegates he collects from the state, getting a total of 25 compared with 14 for Clinton and six for Edwards.

Moderators: Nafikiri tungefungua thread ya international politics, huko tuweke hii thread na zingine zinazohusu mambo kama haya. Kuna thread nimeanzisha inahusu siasa za Labour na Conseravtives, ambayo nafikiri inafaa iingie kwenye thread kama hii ninayoshauri pamoja na ile ya Kenyan politics.

I am not condoning what Obama's pastor said but I agree with your assertion . As Obama said yesterday , it is important to bear in mind that this guy grew up in the 60's when segragation was way of life,so his way of thinking is totally different . The question that I am asking myself is, from the fact half of obama's family is white jee kweli inamake sense kusema kuwa Obama anawachukia watu weupe.

kuna mtu yeyote ana angalia MEET THE PRESS?? hii second half, yenye Michelle Norris, Dave Gregory na Broeder, ka-discussion katamu sana.........i agree kwamba si sahihi kum-define Dr. Wright kwa hizo 40 seconds video clips, jamaa ana hours and hours of summons, lazima kuna vitu vingi vizuri tu kuhusu huyu jamaa..........hii story ita disapper with minimal -ve effects kwa OB campaign.

Kitila, nakubaliana na wewe inabidi kuwa na jukwaa la siasa za nje, kwa kuanzia lile jukwaa la Kenyan Politics wanaweza kuligeuza kuwa la siasa za nje alafu thread za Kenya zikawekwa kwenye EAF.

Hivi unajua ni asilimia ngapi ya Wamarekani weusi waliochanganya damu? Mwangalie Louis Farrakhan....mwangalie Jesse Jackson...Al Sharpton au hata huyo Jeremiah Wright...hivi huoni kama wamechanganya damu na wao?

Hey partner, the bad always outweighs the good. Even worse when you say not God Bless America but God Damn America....come on man, that is very serious.

[The Truth]

Can you imagine a White presidential candidate with a spiritual adviser who has made negative comments against Blacks? Can you imagine what the media backlash would have been against such a candidate? There is no major media backlash against Obama for his very close relationship with his hate Whitey, hate America pastor. Why?

Because he is black. But this is it for him. He is not going to win the presidency.

Kitila ,

Maneno unayoyasema ni tofauti na yale yanayozungumzwa kwenye radio na Tv nyingi hapa marekani. Wengi wanaamini ya kuwa Obama na pastor wake wanawachukia wazungu ...Jambo ambalo mimi naliona ni la kijinga kabisa , huyu mtu utoto wake wote amelelewa na wazungu baada ya baba yake kumabandone sasa mtu anaposema anawachukia wazungu nashindwa kuelewa. Nyani , tofauti na Wright na Sharpton ambao wanaonekana wamechanganya damu vizazi viwili au vitatu vilivyopita; Obama tunazungumzia mama yake mzazi. Hivi ushawahi kumwona dada yake yule Hawaii...utamcategorize kama black au ?
