Obama / Biden
Romney / Ryan
Hey Gentlemen, first a correction here: Obama is not a Kenyan citizen! He is an American citizen who only happened to have his Ethnic roots in the LUO tribe in Kenya.This ethnic tribe called LUO ( to which, I also fortunately belong) is one of the largest tribes in the EASTERN PART OF AFRICA with settlements spanning the entire East African countries of Southern Sudan, Democratic Republic of CONGO, Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania & KENYA, as well as some parts of Central Africa & Chad. Historically originating from MISRI ( present day Egypt), the LUO are are well known for their POLITICAL ASTUTENESS and shrewdness!
Historically, and before the advent of colonialism in Africa, the LUO tribes established many political dynasties and Empires in AFRICA, such as the powerful BABIITO dynasty of the BUNYORO KITARA EMPIRE which spanned across the entire East African region and thrived for many centuries, from the 15th century to the 19th century (1889), when their last emperor, Kabalega, was defeated, captured and exiled by the British colonialist, after almost 10 years of (MILITARILY)resisting colonialism! To date, the LUO are still a MIGHTY POLITICAL FORCE TO RECKON WITH in our sub-region. Modern day Historians have unearthed evidence indicating that some of the Egyptian Pharaohs could as well have been of the LUO origins.
Obama naturally shares that ''Blessed'' political Blood of his LUO ancestors! We in AFRICA are very proud of Obama's achievement and wish him Well. Do not write him off, all pointers are that he is going to win again with a landslide victory as he did the other time
Well thanks for the history lesson there Dag.
We will have to wait and see about the election tho.
You are welcome Bill. May I also add here that masterchief is right. Obama is, as you very well know, is of mixed parentage. His mother Magdalene is of Irish descent, so I don't blame masterchief for supporting his ''NEPHEW" if he is also of Irish descent.
Finally, the Kenyan government is NOT a marxist-socialist government as being imagined by ctr-Alt-Del, It has never been one, and there are no indicators that it is about to become one in the near future. As a former British colony it solidly inherited & embraced the British, Western type of democracy complete with their CAPITALIST system! I am not a Kenyan myself, but a citizen of its neighboring country, Uganda. Kenya has a thriving capitalist economy, hundreds of thousands of tourists from America, Europe & other parts of the world flock to Kenya every year, especially to enjoy the beautiful sunshine beach of its coastal city of Mombasa on the shores of the Indian ocean. Try it.
Yes I know this, my Marxist-Socialist comment if pure sarcasm on my part directed at the people that believe Obama actually hates america and is some sort of "Manchurian Candidate" with a goal of placing the US Government under control of the UN while invoking Sharia Law and a whole list of other really asinine stuff that makes no sense.
For all you video game enthusiast:
I've chatted with several friends....some who support Romney and some who support Obama...about 95% of the people I've chatted with who support Romney tell me they support him because of the ideas and policy he offers....but the ppl I talk to who support Obama never tell me they support Obama for any of his policies and such....their response is usually "I won't support Romney" or something along those lines....Is it people are going to vote for Obama not because he has any ideas or policy but just because they don't like Romney?
"In a cruel and evil world, being cynical can allow you to get some entertainment out of it."
Sorry, need to call "bullshit" on this one, Willard "Mitt" Romney hasn't detailed any of his policies yet other that more tax cuts for the rich and more trickle down economics that DO NOT WORK. When asked to be specific about which tax deductions he would eliminate he said multiple times that he would let us know after the election, what the heck is that. Oh yea and his tough on immigration policy of self-deportation (is that a joke?) will be about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. So I will let you in on some of the things President Obama has worked on or towards that I like but please don't forget to have one of your Romney supporting friends get back to us on some of Romney's policy proposals.

That's just a few things I pulled off the top of my head, does anyone have a Romney list.
How can a non-copier thread have so many posts, its ridiculous TBPH. I really cant understand who would care who becomes president or if he stays. I believe we all agree that these people would say Sunday Mass to get elected and reap from its rewards... After all thats all there in it for really to make easy money and feel powerful....
The question should be what Gender makes a perfect President.
A Man - or Woman
Masterchief
