US Election Coverage 2008

[Steve Dii]

I thought Obama distanced himself from Rev. Wright?

... ever heard 'let the bygone be bygones'??!

... my friend, time comes we have to learn to live with our enemies. Offcourse to some it is a mammoth task. I agree it's hard but we have to try, otherwise we will end up hating even those in our closest proximities. We have seen a lot around the world where hate disguised in prosperity is allowed to fester, for instance, the class issue in India can hardly be bridged if the majority live in forever hatreds.

.... you know wot, pipo grow out of their inhibitions, even the ever so gorgeous 'Indian Princess,' Shilpa Shetty (https://www.jamiiforums.com/showpost.php?p=240039&postcount=10) has learnt how to embrace the low class 'idiots', now that she is teaming up with Jade Goody in a big brother (big boss) show in India (http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebr...r-on-indian-big-brother-with-shilpa-shetty/1/).

Baadae basi mshirika, Asubuhi/Jioni njema .

No matter what It's gonna be him

No matter how many outrageous smears you come up, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how many scurrilous lies your minions tell, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how much effort your operatives put into swiftboating him, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how many times you raise the specter of Reverend Wright, or flag-pins, or Chicago-style politics, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how often you attempt to insult his wife, his friends, or his associates, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how vociferously your PUNDITS challenge his abilities and his competence, it's going to be Obama.

No matter what tricks you plan to put into action between now and November, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how many baseless rumors you try to pass off as the truth, it's going to be Obama.

No matter who you dredge up to speak against him, it's going to be Obama.

No matter what lengths you go to, or what depths you sink to in order to turn people against him, it's going to be Obama.

No matter where you go to dig up dirt, or how far your party tries to fling it, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how hard you to try to instill fear with suggestions of looming terrorism, it's going to be Obama.

No matter who you cajole, threaten, or pay-off to besmirch his good name, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how often you publicly wring your hands and question his ability to lead a nation, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how passionately you proffer your arguments to the contrary, it's going to be Obama.

No matter how shrill your voices get, or how incensed you become at the thought, it's going to be Obama.

No matter what you do, say, fabricate, exaggerate, allude to, conjure up, pass along, shout, whisper, fantasize, publicize, propagate, proliferate, cause tears about, cause fears about, stomp your feet over, scream your fears over, pollute, dilute, spin, fold, staple or mutilate, the end result will be the same: it's going to be Obama.

Kwikwikwi! Nyambala, mkuu, mbona utamtia hasira NyaniN! Maana yeye ameshatamka wazi kwamba Makopo ni Superman na lazima atashinda!
Lakini, on my part, I like your poetry!

The pastor who officiated Jenna Bush's wedding in May recently criticized John McCain for his comments at a biker rally earlier this month. ABC has the story.

"Well, I don't know a lot about John McCain's family history, I do know, however, that as recently as last week I think it was, the Senator made a comment in South Dakota regarding his wife entering some Buffalo Chips contest which is this topless deal and if she were to enter she would probably win it and my personal opinion and based on my understanding of the Christian faith, that's not not, N-O-T, not the type of expression that a presidential candidate, or anyone for that matter who is a follower of the Christian faith, ought to make," said the Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell. "I don't know if that is a perfect case in point, but it surely does help to juxtapose the DNA of Senator Obama, if you would, versus the DNA of Senator McCain."

Caldwell, a close personal friend of President Bush, is the senior pastor at Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas.

Babu naona anasahau sometimes that he is running for president. Lakini pia hana respect for women including his wife ambaye ameshawahi kumwita 'a c**t" mbele ya waandishi! Shughuli!

Duh, NN! Yaani mkuu naona uko makini na fani, you are tracking even the ex-pastor of Obama!? Good job!

Our Obama, who art from heaven, or Hawaii,
or Chicago, or possibly Kenya,
Liberal be thy name,
Thy presidency come,
Thy will be done,
On Earth, as it is in San Francisco.
Give us this day our daily handouts.
And forgive us our individualism,
As we forgive those who don't properly inflate their tires.
And lead us not into the Clintons,
But deliver us from McCain
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for two full terms.

Umejitahidi kuwa poetic! The best part is:

And lead us not into the Clintons,

For thine is the kingdom,

DELIVER US FROM MCCAIN sounds like a good campaign slogan! Kwikwiwkwi!!!

Sasa NN, usiseme tunamwonea Babu by age discrimination! Mwenyewe anakiri eti hasikii wakati alijibu swali, sasa the question is: is deaf or senile?

John McCain's campaign is denying Democratic charges the presumptive Republican nominee flippantly dismissed a new book attacking Barack Obama that includes several documented falsehoods.

Asked by the Associated Press earlier Friday what he though of author Jerome Corsi's new book, "The Obama Nation," McCain said, "gotta keep your sense of humor."Those comments were immediately slammed by the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee, which e-mailed its 3.4 million supporters declaring, "John McCain thinks smears and lies are funny."

"Despite pledging to run a respectful campaign, McCain is just standing by while Corsi and his publisher, former Dick Cheney aide Mary Matalin, poison this presidential race," read the e-mail from DNC Rapid Response Team.

But McCain spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said later Thursday the Arizona senator actually did not hear the question, and would not be commenting on the book.

The book, which is expected to debut No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, repeats many long-discredited falsehoods about the Illinois senator, including the claim that he is Muslim.

Very poor handling of the issue by Babu Makopo and his handlers!!

 

[Icadon]

In Mrs. Clinton's non-concession speech, when she first said she was "committed to uniting our party", she famously asked: "What does Hillary want?" The answer is self-evident. She wants to be president. And what is now her most plausible path to the White House? A McCain victory in 2008.

Wewe una ushabiki wa kitoto kweli....kwani mtu kutosikia vizuri kitu alichosema mtu mwingine ni jambo la ajabu? Mbona kila siku mimi huwa nauliza 'what's that?'...'sorry, what did you say'?.....ni jambo la kawaida kabisa hilo lakini wewe lazima uingize siasa.....

Who said the man in Pic with Obama is Rev Wright?

Nyani usijifanye hujaelewa ishu: kama Makopo hakusikia swali alikuwa anajibu nini aliposema "You gotta have a sense of humour"????? Alikuwa anajibu swali asilosikia? Kama hakusikia si angeuliza - as you have pointed out - 'what's that?'...'sorry, what did you say'? Alijibu swali na alilisikia vizuri tu, lakini baada ya kuona ni mchemsho anasingizia uzee eti hakusikia swali.

I wouldn't really call that "teaming up", it's more like they are competing against one another. Either way I am not sure if Shilpa ever held a grudge against Ms. Goody. Anyways since you came to this thread about Obama let me ask you if you support him and why? What do you think about his policies of income redistribution from Whites?

 

[The Truth]

Who told said the man in Pic with Obama is Rev Wright?

I was being sarcastic about the photo. I do believe though that Obama is just keeping Rev. Wright away for now until he gets elected president (if that happens). As soon as he wins the election Rev. Wright will be brought back as his "spiritual advisor". I don't believe for a second that Obama does not believe or agree with Rev. Wright hateful ideas. He sat in his church for all those years and the two were close. Obama just like Rev. Wright hates Whites which explains why he is hell bent on redistributing their wealth.

Ebwana mlimwona McCain kwenye ile forum jumamosi? Hahahahaha....babu is on top of it and it will be a nightmare for Obama when he debates him. Yaani babu alikuwa yuko ahead hata ya Rick Warren.....thats whats up

Babu alikuwa na Maswali kwa nini asiwe juu?. Halafu babu hakuwa kwenye pressure kwa sababu hana tuhuma kama yeye ni Muslim. Obama alitaka kuwahakikishia watu kuwa yeye ni christian na hivyo akawa mnyenyekevu. Ngoja Debate utaona babu alivyomchovu kwenye issues.

Hahahahaaa...nilijua mtakuja na hiyo ya eti alipewa maswali ahead of time.....that's so lame of you Obamamaniacs...but then again I wouldn't expect anything less or more from you all....lame...lame...lame....

Ukishakuwa mshabiki kama mimi au wewe lazima tutaona candidate wetu amefanya vizuri. Lakini nilifanya hekima na kuomba wanafamilia wangu ambao huwa wananiponda sana na ushabiki wangu wa Obama. Result, walimsikiliza Obama na walikubali that this guy is sincere and thoughtful, McCain walimsikiliza about 10 minutes wakabaki wanashangaa na kupigw na bumbuazi jinsi alivyo shallow, repeating campaign lines na majibu ambayo tunasema 'canned answers'. I think that McCain was on friendly territory lazima watampenda - the evangelicals and conservatice Christians, ulitegemea nini? Lakini cheki sasa Obama alisema he is pro-choice na alieleza kwa nini na walimpigia makofi. Also let me remind you this was a forum not a debate. Here Obama was talking not only to people present but also viewers and he was not put side by side kubishana na babu yako.
I think that Obama walked into the lion's den and he walked out without a scrape. In fact I am convinced that he won over viewers who are Christians and moderate. Lakini Babu yako was addressing his base speaking in absolute! He didn't win over anyone new!
BTW umeipata hii:

Last week, a speech by Sen. John McCain had phrases that were likely lifted directly from Wikipedia.

Now it seems McCain may have lifted another story last night at megachurch pastor Rick Warren's Faith Forum. According to a very persuasive Daily Kos diary, the anecdote McCain told about a North Vietnamese prison guard making a cross in the dirt as a sign of solidarity -- or as he said, "just two Christians worshiping together" -- is very similar to a story about Alexander Solzhenitsyn and his times in the Soviet Gulags.

"As Solzhenitsyn stared at the Cross drawn in the dirt his entire perspective changed. He knew he was only one man against the all-powerful Soviet empire. Yet he knew there was something greater than the evil he saw in the prison camp, something greater than the Soviet Union. He knew that hope for all people was represented by that simple Cross. Through the power of the Cross, anything was possible."

Steven Waldman notes that McCain's recounting of this story has changed over the years and "has gradually morphed from being about the humanity of the guard to being about the Christian faith of the guard and John McCain."

Andrew Sullivan says that McCain's early accounts of his years as a POW do not even include this story.

Kwikwikwi. Hii itakuwa liar! liar! sniperfire! ya Bibi yako Hillary!

 

[Nyani Ngabu]

Yaani wewe sijui nikufanyeje tu maana huu ushabiki wako sasa umeghubika hata uwezo wako wa kuchambua na kuangalia mambo bila upendeleo wa aina yeyote ile. Anyway, mi nakuacha tu kama ulivyo na ninasubiri baada ya Novemba 4 uanze kulia ubaguzi ndio uliomfanya Obama ashindwa. Wewe Ndivyo Ulivyo
