"Obama-mania" sweeps Kenya - 28 Oct 08

[bigbadwolfy1977]

if obama was born in america why would these people claim this is his hometown

[SwagaKhalif]

Has Kenya really improved since Obama became President?

[ih8makinusernames]

Sorry to burst your bubble Birthers but he was born in Honolulu and even if he was born in Kenya I honeslty wouldn't give a flying fuck.

[nigouer]

obama dun saved de wurl

[IamLisaYo]

.... He is the president of The US not Kenya.. I mean its good to help, but they act like hes the pres of Kenya.

[wesmonite]

i agree

[f01863]

They should be happy there,since he was BORN THERE!

[Ranciddistortion121]

Except he wasn't.

Or he couldn't run for president.

[HieronymusBash]

Warrior, you are being watched closely by many. Why did you change your BG?

[FootSomeGuy]

Lol it seemed he attracted too many under aged girls.

[FootSomeGuy]

Sounds like you're defending yourself.You think people calling you a peadophile is worse than a racist?

Yes you only date white girls.Who am I tell you,you shouldnt.I respect your preferences.

My preferences are more varied.Too bad you cant respect that.

[FootSomeGuy]

Oh yeah,I remember the neo nazi girl.How does she like to date a peadophile?

[FootSomeGuy]

Oh I'm fat...errr..ok so you like fat white guys and underaged girls?

[seouldave69]

take your page down now! or it will will be taken down. You can't go throwing around your hate speech and think nothing will happen. Sooner or later, that NSO will take you down!

[silligal1]

WHATEVER! TELL them to BRING it!WHO are YOU? NO FUCKING body! A damn simpleton!

[silligal1]

DO the WORLD a favor AND NOT post your UGLY ASS PICTURE MF AND CUT that damn UNIBROW!lmao!

[FootSomeGuy]

At least 990 of those girls are under aged, go figure.

[silligal1]

AND JUST BECAUSE I made a comment about Obama ,doesnt MEAN I am black dumbass!I could be ANY race, SO stop assuming that I am fat and black stupid!WORD OF ADVICE: GET RID of your UNIBROW before you EVEN ATTEMPT to talk about someone else!

[dirtbagdarrell2008]

Nothings changed, nothing is going to change, except more violence. Watch your back, here I come.

[Algi4]

what will change is happened already. The people's consciousness. That is what already changed. I believe that even Barack himself did not realize how much this would change things. Hope is an amazing power. He does have much work to do and I wish him well but, the amazing thing has already happened and NO ONE can take it away. All throughout histories there are "firsts" and this was one. I'm sure he'll do well as a president as well.

[kmaflash41]

If Obama wants to improve Africa then he should move back home! And take all his backers with him. If he was born here in the US then he is a black-american not african-american. you need to get that strait! He needs to worry about the US and not any other country and there problems.

[desertdetroiter]

I was born in this country and i'm an African American...to my bone marrow. And if he wants to worry about Kenya, thats fine with me. For years, the Cuban American lobby has been obsessed with Cuba, the Irish American lobby has been strong in the interest of Ireland, and the Jews along with AIPAC have always arm twisted U.S. policy in favor of Israel. Guess what? It's our fuckin' turn now...Africa is going to get some overdue attention. Deal with it or eat shit.

[simbakafiri]

you are really smart...am proud

[SpeckerWrecker91]

Hmm

[frizzo313]

Honestly, what is going to change? Tell me.

[donauld1]

lol omg.

[socal90230]

I am not sure why anyone gives a shit about what Kenyans want with respect to the president of the USA. The reality is that Obama is dangerous, untested, unknown, and most of the simpletons in the country, such as the unemployed, a lot of minorities, uneducated, naive, have fallen for the Obama propoganda machine. Heaven help us all if Obama wins.

[herlife]

actually stats show that obama supporters tend to have higher education than mccains... pls state facts and don't just feed the people the crap u want them to believe

[REYDOW]

he does win and united state's reputation in the world will be better.

[silligal1]

WEll OBAMA won- get over it and go jump off of a bridge SWEETIE! lmao!

[StayStupid4Christ]

I am asking all my republican brothers to join me in a show of solidarity!. If Obama gets elected president on November 4th, we all kill ourselves in the quickest most horrible way possible. let the trailer parks and county fairs run RED with our blood!!

the RED in the street will be a symbol of our devotion and pride to John Mccain who knows the greatest honor an American can have is to give his life for his country.Besides, u don't want to have to convert to Islam on the 5th do you? join me!

[silligal1]

HAVE you made the preparations to KILL yourself yet? lmao!

[jvforever72]

it makes sense they like him over there , he was born there .

why hasn't bush mania swept kenya , he has approved more financial aid for Africa than any pres in history . JV

[halfmonk]

obama wasn't born in kenya.  he was born in honolulu, hawaii. where do you guys get this crap?

[opudo]

@halfmonk true

[BUDDAWG2004]

obama doesnt do shit for his own 1/2 brother in africa, why would he do shit for any other black person on the face of this earth?

[mmante]

Black Civilization will be on the forefront of the world.. Black People were dehumanized during the era of slavery and that would be restored after obama presidency.

[blakkat28]

black? white? brown?

what the fuck is in our heads?!?!?

We are all the same thing. As long as we do not realize that's the bottom line, there won't be any REAL CHANGE

[vilhammer44]

C H A N G E : "Come help a nigga get elected"

[lovable416]

It's sad that these people actually believe Obama is going to help them, or even care about them. He has a grandmother, and half brother he doesn't help one bit. They live in a poor village, and have nothing. If he doesn't even help his own family, what does that mean for America?

[FlatulenceFox]

Do you really know about Barak Obama's relationships with his family? Are you a close family friend or acquaintance? Tell me more....

[lovable416]

FlatulenceFox--CNN did an interview with Obama's half brother. He talked about, and showed, the poor village he lives in, and his even worse living conditions. Even the people in that village feel Obama should help his family. I don't need to be a family friend, to see what a hypocrite Obama is, he's very obvious.

[FlatulenceFox]

lovable416. It is obvious to me that you made up your mind about Obama before you say that "revealing" report on CNN. And you really don't know what Obama has done for his family or has not done for his family.

Obama is not as rich as McCain - actually Cindy McCain. He only owns one house and has a two car family. He was not born into a family of privilege himself, unlike John McCain. So I seriously doubt that he can lift the standard of living for all of family.

[FlatulenceFox]

So please spare me the false explanations as to why you are going to vote for him. I really doubt that you were sitting on the fence about him before that.

[lovable416]

FlatulenceFox. First of all, I never even mentioned McCain. The video was about Obama. My opinion on Obama's bad choices, and bad judgement, does not automatically mean I am a McCain supporter either. I don't agree with Obama's views on abortion, and I am pro-choice. The media didn't tell America that, he did. I don't like Obama because of Obama, not CNN.

[FlatulenceFox]

Well first of all, what other choice is there besides McCain? Are you wasting your vote on Nader?

Anyway, it is obvious that you made up your mind on him from the gut and not on the issues. And that is fine. Most people vote that way.

But there is no need to bs by mentioning his relations with his family. His biological father had many children by the way. Obama has not had personal, frequent contact with them and that should be understandable given the circumstances.

[FlatulenceFox]

Also, how could you be pro-choice and not agree with Obama on abortion when he is also pro-choice? Either you are or you are not for abortion.

Get real.

[lovable416]

flatulencefox. First of all, It's called pro-choice, not pro-abortion. Obama has no problem with denying medical treatment to a born alive abortion. I personally think that's horrible. In case you have forgotten, this is still a free country, and everyone has their own opinion, whether you like it or not. I am not condemning you for voting for Obama. That's your personal choice. So let other people have theirs. So you 'get real'.

[ganondorf22]

A vote for Nader is not a wasted vote. You are allowed to vote for whoever you want to vote for, and you should vote for whoever you want to.

[lovable416]

flatulencefox. Actually he has met his half brother, but that's not the point. As I said before, which I obviously have to repeat, I make my decisions based on the nonsense that comes out of his mouth, about the ISSUES. He himself has helped me make my decision on him. Also, his relations with his family shows a lot.

[silligal1]

GET OVER IT, SWEETIE--Hes the president! IM glad that NO NECK bastard McCain didnt win!

[lovable416]

silligal1-I don't really know what you want me to 'get over' exactly. Why on earth would I kill myself because Obama won the election last night? That's just nonsense. No, he didn't get my vote, but so what? Someone had to lose the election, or did you not realize that? Now we just wait and see if Obama can deliver on his many promises. No reason to jump off any bridges.

[Mick342]

Im Fuckin Sick Of This Hes half IRISH!!!!!!

Why Is that NEVER Mentioned?!?!?!?

[runkaballe]

It dosent happened that often but the American dream did come true for Obama.

Maccain just married power and wealth, but I guess thats the easy way to achieve the American dream, by dry humping he right people.

[conduit99]

First of all, Africa is not Homogeneous, and are not treated the same way by the U.S. What a joke. When it comes to foreign policy the only difference between Obama, & McCain is skin colour. There's even an article re this on yahoo right now called: "Europeans will learn Obama has no 'magic wand': analysts".

[SamariaTV]

I LOVE ALJAZEERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnalogAfrica]

The guys in this video are way too cool, no wonder Obama is such a guy

[japanz1984]

This is striking,he's popular in other countries..............I think this is the most important vote of our time.

[cuckoonest10]

Amazing, amazing.

[AnalogAfrica]

Sékou Touré...hmm he had good ideas but some were very bad ;)

[shamrock08]

Julius Nyerere, Ahmed Sékou Touré, Alioune Diop... The list goes on and on. And yes, anyone who knows the slightest bit of policymaking regarding EUs and USAs economic protectionism and tolls, tariffs and qoutas aimed towards african products knows that we bail out our farmers with tax spending while removing thirld world countries from the market with tolls and tariffs.

[jakesunrider]

Obama believes in redistributing the wealth. His brother lives in a slum in Kenya under terrible conditions. I guess this means Obama will redistribute everyone's wealth except his. He doesn't even allow his children Christmas presents. I wonder if that has anything to do with what came out of his mouth "My Muslim Faith". America and the world will change forever under Obama. Isreal will disappear. Ahmad Yousef and Amadinijad will be advisors in the white house. I am Beau Rock.

[AnalogAfrica]

"His brother lives in a slum in Kenya under terrible conditions"...you´re making me laugh...STOP watching FOX news

[japanz1984]

not really.....................mus­lims just live differently.christmas is a pegan holiday anyways,jeseus wasn't really born on that day.

[AnalogAfrica]

No I didnt, all the flight attendant were around him and I didnt think it was appropriate to add to this. He was with his doctor. But It felt special to be with him on a plane ;)

[Steadno]

Analog: I hear you, he's a great man!

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

Okay, you got me. Whites are the devil and Blacks are God's chosen. Now, go read a book about something other than "Blacks have been held back." LOL!!!!!

[Steadno]

Extremes arent beneficial here and you sound rehearsed. If you stop reacting emotionally itll serve to elevate your thought process! BTW try replying to me cause Im only seeing your comments cause Im replying to others.

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

Believe me, no one on the professional, wealthy, white side...really thinks twice about ANYTHING black. But you keep thinking there is a huge conspiracy .. in reality .. you are a self-destructive race. Bye.

[AnalogAfrica]

well who asked you to "import" them from Africa in the first place? You have build your economy with their sweat so show a bit of respect. And where are your grand parents from anyway? Sweden, irland, italy, est-europe....if you dont like it go back to good old europe, cause you are all immigrants, but take a book from time to time to clear your vision a little

[Steadno]

No other group has degenerated to the depths of Caucasians when considering self genocide. I remind you of Hitler and Stalin who killed about 30 million other Caucasians collectivity and in one sitting. Good day.

[AnalogAfrica]

ATRUEAMERICAN10000 yes yes rappers and athletes, I guess you mean stevei wonder, marvin gaye, bob marley, quincy jones, miles davis, louis armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgeral...and yes all those athletes who have spread shame over your country, i´m thinking of carl lewis, Muhammad Ali, michael Jordan etc......

[AnalogAfrica]

ATRUEAMERICAN10000 you mean Nelson Mandela, Leopold Senghor, Kofi Annan, Haile Selassie, Anwar Sadat, Miriam Makeba, Fela Kuti, Patrice Lumumba ?

[AnalogAfrica]

scottprice1959 you will be swallowing your words up your ass comes November 4th, thats a promise. Mark my words. That "half negro" who is twice as intelligent as your poor mind will be your president. Unfortunatly you are just too stupid to realise how lucky you are

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

Can some of the "young" dumb supporters of Obama explain why South Africa turned into a 3rd world country as soon as the whites left power? Or explain why most African countries can't establish stable governments and most are in constant civil wars. I guess "da man" is holding them back too!

[thelaughingman]

You seem to be laboring under the impression that south africa was a 1st world nation to begin with. but how can i argue with a brilliant man like you?

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

I can see why Blacks are proud to be from Africa...afterall, Africa has contributed so much to the world such as.....ummmmm....well, then there is ....ahhhhh.... how can we forget .... never mind ... Oh yeah, black athletes and rappers for stupid young teens to adore. (I'll leave out black on black crime as that is more "entertainment" for whites).

[Steadno]

A: Let me help you with a couple: Egypt is an African contribution (Greece thanks her)and oh theres that little thing of everyone on earth traces their mitochondrial DNA to a single matriarch in Africa.

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

Anything in the last 5,000 years? Take your time... it's a trick question.

[Steadno]

Africa=Egypt=Greece=Europe Aggregate knowledge is a stickler.

[AnalogAfrica]

oh did mandela die...shit didn know

[Steadno]

Analog: Nelson Mandela is alive, he's 90.

[AnalogAfrica]

dont be silly

[AnalogAfrica]

steadno I know these things man, I am no white trash from the mid-west. I was on a plane from Frankfurt to Johannesburg with Mandela a few months ago I know he is alive

[Steadno]

Analog: Did you shake his hand?

[shamrock08]

We must also acknowledge the great impact of fine african culture that has spread through the word.

I don´t know how it is in your end of the world, but in mine (Sweden), I grew up in ethically mixed surrounding and africans are just as capable as anyone else in anything. A ethiopian childhood friend of mine is a lawyer, another a stock broker. One friend from Burundi also went into law just so he could move back and increase legal rights.

[AnalogAfrica]

shamerock all this goes without saying, there are great people everywhere. It would be a life changing experience for those die hard white trash amercians to see their lives getting better under the leadership of a Afro/American. Look at these comments for exemple! Some people have never left their state, they think Cairo is a town somehwere in the US. Their health care is one of the worse in the northern hemisphere, the education system is very weak...ITS TIME FOR CHANGE

[Steadno]

A: At this time in history colonization is done via a back door method and Africa and its people are being exploited world wide. Remember at one point there were nothing but blacks on this planet. Catch up already!

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

Exploitation! Of course. Tell your friends and keep repeating that. It's the only thing that makes people like me smile. BTW, whatever you do...stay away from the "library" and bookstores. Very evil places!

[Steadno]

Keep telling yourself it isnt so and maybe you can continue masking those strange feelings of guilt with contempt.

[shamrock08]

South Africa has not seen increasing poverty since the downfall of apartheid. The situation for the vast majority of the citizens back then were horrendous. What you see now is just a redistribution of the countrys resources to all the citizens. As for what Africa has contributed to the world...

Well, a lot! Steve Biko was an extrodinary man and his spirt still lives on. Desmond Tutu is another. I know all this because my cousins are south african and one even served in the army!

[SERKANUSA]

he is more american than you are moron

[gentlemanimal]

This is a beautiful report ;D

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

Blacks already looking for to a "NO WORK" Obama administration..

"OBAMA SAYS TAKE 'DAY OFF' WORK FOR ELECTION"

[uzoma0024]

whats the point of being racist and ignorant. If you are working at the moment, then why are you on this site?

[Kamal767]

I think these people are going to be dissapointed when nothing changes in Kenya.... what can they possibly expect?

[rodgersx]

hope...Obama is an American but his election would impact the whole world especially Africa and black & minorities everywhere.

[didyoulisiten]

Obama is a Marxists/Socialists. If you want this type of Government, then YOU elect him a YOUR president. We in the U.S. don't want a Communist Government.

[venushalley]

have you read the communist manifesto or any of marx's works? I doubt you have. Go and do so and than you can come back and talk.

just because communism is a skeery, skeery word does not mean you have to throw it around.

[didyoulisiten]

venushalley,Yes I have, and no I don't want to talk about a failed theory. It didn't work for the Greeks,Italians,Germans,French­,Russians,or any other country that has tried the shit. And don't say they weren't true Communism. That Bull Shit won't wash. Marxism/Communism is the state in control of your life, no matter who is at its head, one person or many people. They all serve one, themselves, by taking(by force)from those who earn it.

[venushalley]

you know I am myself so anti-communist that I make mccarthy a pinko.

but obama's agenda is nothing of communism. what aspect will obama "control"? taxes aren't "controlling of your life". and when did obama propose centrally planned economy?

[georgiaartist]

LMAO!

didyoulisiten, you are so funny with your negative comment! I guess you are living in fear. Have you ever realize that Conservative Republicans practice Fascism?

[didyoulisiten]

georgiaartist,No Bitch, I don't live in fear. My home is protected by Smith and Wesson. Want to find out Commie. I fought your asses once and bygod I can still do it again. Understand Comrade.

[Bonkajs]

3. Republicans is for strong foreign policy and usa and my country works together in afghanistan and iraq, now we help eachother and thats make some kind a safe feeling here when dangerous Putins Russia is our neighbours.

[venushalley]

I am from the "eastern bloc" as well. I am not very exited about having our people in iraq. I am appealled by the fact that condoleeza wants to build missile defense shield against "USSR", while mccain wants to locate its radar base in "czechoslovakia". I am hoping Obama will be more cosmopolitan and take American NATO allies as allies not as satellites. We've been sattelites to the USSR, so when i hear "you're either with america or against us..." rhetoric, it make my blood boil.

[Bonkajs]

your country?

[venushalley]

I'm from czech republic... I guess we have a lot in common.

[venushalley]

while I agree there may be populism involved in obama's rhetorics, he at least sounds intelligent and educated...

I actually liked mccain in the beginning, but his fear mongering, his choice of sarah palin for VP, etc. etc. are just too much to stomach.

and yes, I party blame bush's irresponsible politics to cause the financial crisis, that is hitting the eastern EU as well at the moment.

[adikiny]

Obama's supporters should realise that when imperial powers give a black man/woman a presidential or ministerial seat in their government,instead of letting him/her prosper in the private sector,it's because they intend to IN EXCHANGE,place their own people as presidents or ministers in African countries.This is RECOLONISATION of Africa.If the Illuminati is making Obama president it is also to solve the ZIMBABWE, Australia, Palestin problems by using Obama as a "precedent" in legal matters.

[teemuruskeepaa]

It does not sweep Kenya, only a small group of lobbying social democrats. Al Jazeera is lying to you that Kenyans are one group of people who should be overly exited about any political issue and that's how it supports the lobbying group. The people interviewed here are again the small activist group, not representative of the whole population and all the different factions.

[aimanbeck]

wow.. awesome beats here..

[Bonkajs]

stupid africans :D how they can be so stupid to think that with Obama as US president they will start live much better :D lol

[georgiaartist]

Bonkajs, you talk like an idiot.

[p2pjoe]

no really how does obama's presidency automatically help africa?

[georgiaartist]

Let me ask you a question. Do you like John McCain?

[p2pjoe]

not really. but that wouldnt mean obama can make africa as stable and developed and powerful on a level as america is. and if he could he wouldnt be able to do it in one or two terms. its gonna take a while thats just how i see it.

[georgiaartist]

Let me say this. In America, some people assumed that if Obama be President, he would only look out for African Americans. That is not true. Obama, as President, will be looking out for every citizen in this country. That's what a President supposed to do. Also, Obama has an ability to sit down with world leaders and communicate with them in an intelligent way to solve problems. Bush couldn't do it, and McCain has too much anger in him.

[MangaGothicTheMovie]

They also seem to forget that his mother is white

[p2pjoe]

yea true

[Bonkajs]

maybe, but there is problem - culture... Allways when someone try to imitative bring one culture to another one fail... Africans must change their minds and stop thinking that USA is the olny one who can save them with $ :)

[p2pjoe]

africa is way bigger than america. the need to open their eyes and start doing some stuff for themsleves indeed

[Bonkajs]

Thanks for opinion!

BUT maybe before start insulting someone bring some facts on table :D

[georgiaartist]

So, live in East Europe and you like to see McCain to be President? right?

[Bonkajs]

well as allways there is not only black or white (and i dont mean race).. every candidate have + and -, but from that what i have seen until today only thing what Obama really repeting every day is "yes we can" .. :D thats the same as i could start politican career and say to all "They cant,but I can" :D

[georgiaartist]

Bonkajs, I am sorry that you are a negative person, and you want to live in the 19th/20th century like the conservative Republicans in America. You said you are scared of Obama, you called the people in the motherland stupid, etc. Hummm... I can see what kind of person you are, and I don't have to say it because you've already showed me from your negative comments.

Have a nice day.

[georgiaartist]

Also you are the one who is making insults by calling the people from the motherland "stupid!"

[Bonkajs]

calling someone who are uneducated is not insulting him/her, but only truth!

think just about it.. ok, if that what they say is true and Obama will start to make more attention to Africa problems, what then US people will say abotu it!? there is alot of problems in USA which must be dealt with and time/money spending on Africa just because president come from there is just unfair.

[venushalley]

it's nice to see that world is actually exited about a presidential candidate rather than being scared.

[Bonkajs]

well.. actually i am a little bit scared of obama... :|

live in east Europe...

[venushalley]

can I ask why?

I think Obama is better choice even to the "new europe". I don't trust the republican anymore.

[Bonkajs]

1.its not because of his race... i allmost dont care about it (i say allmost beucause i live in country with 99,9% of inhabiants with white european race and its still is a little bit strange for me when i see some black race tourists here).

[Bonkajs]

1. its not because of his race... i allmost dont care about it (i say allmost beucause i live in country with 99,9% of inhabiants with white european race and its still is a little bit strange for me when i see some black race tourists here).

[Bonkajs]

2. Obama reminds me our politicans who talking much and give much promises in election campaigns, bet when elected forgetting about what they said before

[AnalogAfrica]

Bonkadja...thats what is called hope. An Obama presidency can only give Africans a motivation, a moral support if you want. It has nothing to do with money of financial support. I am surprised you dont get it.....hmm actually reading your message I am not!!!

[rodgersx]

Amen!

[NekroStevo]

I sincerely hope the Obama lives up to these hopes.

[anthonyfoxtrott]

Eddie Murphy's comedies at the theatre produced about the same stimulus...

[theDHC]

Some hot beats

[zbjordan23]

That John Mccain is a dead ringer...looks just like him...lol

[squigglesy]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[TheRealCaptainCarrot]

...And to think that some Americans will not even bother to vote on election day...
