For those that missed Day 1 of the DNC at Charlotte North Carolina here are some of the Highlights of the opening Day activities. Some of the Democratic Party heavy weights delivered remarkable messages that have demonstrated that Republicans are wrong when they said that President Obama could not run for reelection with his records from the past four years in office. The speech delivered by former Ohio Governor Ted Strickland slammed Mitt Romney with a charge that he practices what Strickland called “Vulture Capitalism” a term that refers to Mitt Romney’s past business ventures where his former company made…

After reading Dr. Wumi Akintide’s article captioned: "Anne Romney, Chris Christie, John Mccain and Paul Ryan Have Just Made the Most Persuasive Reason for Giving 4 more Years to President Obama" posted on www.nigeriaworld.com of August 31, 2012, I felt energized by the way this comprehensive writer captured what many of us have been thinking about the ongoing Republican Political Convention Speeches that just ended last Thursday in Tampa of Florida. Dr. Wumi’s position is that Obama is the anointed son of America needed at a difficult time that America is facing currently. He goes on to suggest that Obama…

Barack Obama came to office with the support of the overwhelming majority of black persons (over 95% of them voted for him) and white liberals. You would think that he was mindful of his base and worked his little behind off on their behalf. But before you know it he ignored them. It was as if his base did not even exist. He focused on ways to please conservatives, even appointing them to his cabinet. When Republicans asked him to jump he asked them how high he could jump. The man acted as if he were drunk and a fool.…

On Thursday evening/night I read Cyprian Ekwensi's novel, Jagua Nana. On Friday evening I decided to write a review of it and completed it at around 11 PM. I decided to sleep on what I wrote and see if there is something else to add to it. I woke up Saturday morning at 6AM and decided that there is nothing to add to the review and posted it on the Internet. I then fooled around the internet for a while, wrote a bit on anti-social personalities and thought aloud who is the best Nigerian writer of fiction. It was almost…

The US presidential elections start officially after Labor Day, in the first week of September. That is the time when all the party’s national conventions would have nominated and elected their electoral candidates. Obama would then become he official democratic presidential candidate and Romney would become the official republican presidential candidate. Until then both candidates are presumptive nominees. It is difficult to see how either would not be the candidate of his party. But from this arm chair observer Mr. Romney does not look like he belongs in the same ring with Mr. Obama. On the surface it would seen…

Four years ago we elected Mr. Barack Obama in the belief that he would do three things forAmerica: He would end gridlock and restore bipartisanship inWashington He would restore America’s prestige abroad He would be bold to tackle long lasting problems that past administrations were too timid to engage. The Audacity of Hope This game has been played into the fourth quarter and the opponent, the Republican Party), is still alive and there is but just one point separating the two teams. The President has the ball and any turnover could bring unpleasant results. What should the president’s team do?…

Why is Barack Obama afraid to do the right thing? Is he really another African self-centered coward or what? African leaders do not enter politics to go serve their people’s welfare; they go to seem very important persons by merely being politicians. They can be in office for a million years and one cannot point to anything they did to serve their peoples social interests (has Goodluck Jonathan done anything that serves Nigerians public good?). This Obama man is disgusting in his fecklessness. See, Assad’s boy is killing his people and Obama keeps quiet. He sleeps well at night knowing…

As one watches the barrage of negative adverts going Obama’s way one is tempted to have pity for him. Whenever I open my yahoo webpage I see Newsmax (a conservative outfit) saying something negative about Obama. And this is just a warm up, for the super-pacs are about to lunch their billion dollars attacks on the man they see as an “other”, as not an American, as a socialist...conservatives, especially Tea Party ones hate Obama with special venom; it is difficult to not see what they are doing as motivated by racism and refusal to accept a black man as…
