Barack Obama was lucky. His Luo father made the most profound decision of his life by rejecting Britain for America. By now, Obama would have been a mere London inner city duff solicitor on a nine to fiver with fading jackets, worn out shoes, hire purchase BMW and a mortgaged three-bed house as his earthly possession.
He would have been a Fabian subscriber due to his left-leaning politics.

On almost every issue, McCain and the Democratic Party's nominee, Barack Obama, speak the generalized language of "reform," but only Obama has provided a convincing, rational, and fully developed vision. McCain has abandoned his opposition to the Bush-era tax cuts and has taken up the demagogic call—in the midst of recession and Wall Street calamity, with looming crises in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—for more tax cuts. Bush's expire in 2011. If McCain, as he has proposed,...

After a long, protracted and vicious political fight, Barack Obama, a 47 year old senator from Illinois, clinched a very decisive victory over his Republican rival, John McCain - all while still only on his first term as a senator. That s a huge accomplishment, considering he only became senator in 2004. This is the definition of a meteoric rise.

Corsi went to the extent of attempting to launch his book in Kenya to draw attention to Obama s Kenyan roots. He even tried to locate Obama s half brother, George, who was recently said to be living in squalid conditions in a Nairobi slum. Corsi said he was ready to donate $1,000 to George Obama. Having failed to nail Obama in America, the Republican Party was desperate for anything negative from anywhere.

Some American Africans, especially Nigerian-Americans, were particularly obstreperous, weeping louder than the bereaved in their support of Hillary Clinton and their disavowal of Obama.

Martin Luther King Writes Barack Obama  
January 21, 2009 | 2 Comments
I was once the moral leader of the United States. I developed an abiding devotion to reconciliation and not victory. As a result, a grateful world gave me a deserved Nobel Peace Price, a national holiday and my name imprinted forever on the conscience of humanity.
