His presidency could, besides pursuing a pro-African foreign policy, influence US transnational corporations, the Military Industrial Complex and scientific institutions to be fair to the continent, writes Okello Oculi, Daily Monitor Correspondent in Nigeria

I hear you Sister. I think it is just all about numbers. I am an Australian woman, and I watch while my soul holds its breath. Whoever it is who wins, let us hope that the world is a better place because of their election. Let us hope that despite years of hidden corruption, election tampering and war-mongering, there is still such a thing as "Democracy" in the United States. I hope he wins because I want to believe that change is still possible. I will worry for him, because anyone who cannot be bought and sold will be in grave danger, but without him there will only be more of the same. May he build a rainbow bridge back to Africa and be the One we have all been waiting for.
I think what Obama wants to do is great but theres just one thing that i really do not like about him and thats the fact that he does not pledge the flag. Someone who is going to be in total control of our Country does not pledge the flag think about what comes to your mind when you think about I know what comes to my mind lots of things. He should honor our flag. I believe in what he says in stuff but he should honor and pledge the flag like every other president and do it not because people want him to but do it because its OUR FLAF!!!!!
Why should it be required that anyone should have to pledge their allegiance to a flag??? It is a piece of cloth. Is swearing your allegiance to a flag the same as pledging alliance to your country?
Besides lots of people don't pledge allegiance to the flag due to religious or philosophical reasons. So what's good for you may not be necessarily good for others. Doesn't mean they are less American.
He not only pledges the flag, he actually leads the pledge of allegiance when he opens the Senate. The rumor that he does not pledge the flag is a lie.
The flag is not just a piece of cloth, it is a symbol, something that needs to be shown respect. It stands for our freedom and ANY and ALL Americans needs to pledge it.
Black people in Africa have proved that they are inadequate at goverment and organisation. Obama should run for office in kenya his fathers home country if he thinks he is so great a leader, truth be told he is a nobody who has done nothing. There are 10 million white men in the US who can and will do a better job, for the country that there ancestors created. Nothing against Obama but there is no black country that is created anything near a first world class living standard, South Africa had but that was by whites and the black mindset will tear it apart with a cretin like Jacob Zuma a rapist and a fraudster who has been elected by the masses which is there right to elect who they want. Blacks will be blaming whites for there plight until hell freezes over, when deep down the reality is its all your own creation. So no Obama will never be president of the US as he is a joke.
Hell, I'm guessing, but for the venom that seeps out of your pores, are you not one of those despicable racist boers from South Africa? Would you suggest that John McCain go the British Isles to run for public office, you idiot? Your racist mind is so saturated and permeated with racial obssession that you can't think straight, huh? Obama is not any more an African than McCain is European. Thay are both Americans and can run for public office if they so desire. Is this information that is too bulky for mind to take in? I know it must really piss your small mind off that Obama, a black man, is doing so well among all demographic groups.
You are a dying breed and the world can surely do without your kind, Hell, or whatever you may call your self.
I totally agree with everything that you said. America is great so why should one person be able to ruin everything that she stands for. What would our forefathers think if they could see this joke of an election?
black people should quit complaining about their treatment here in the us and be glad they are here and not in that genocide ridden africa

PS: DO NOT REMOVE THESE COMMENTS AGAIN AS I WILL KEEP POSTING THEM, THE TRUTH IS HARD TO TAKE I KNOW, YOU ARE IN DENIAL AND YOU ONLY BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE.
sometime your need to block some of the stupid comment peoples written int his site,people are less respect with no dinignity.we need to give obama a lot of respect cuz most of his words are real,a man with pride,respect,he stand for change we believe this country had went through.so whosoever have negative thinking about obama change it cuz that is our dream for now
You are stating your respect for a man due to his skin color and other people are stating their contempt for him on the same basis. Sounds like you are both prejudice.
