God is with Obama nothing evil will happen to him.My point is he needs the support of Hilary to win that presidency he cant do it without her voters whether yall like it or not besides he is still considered in the black minority and therefore needs some endorsement from the whites.Hilary can be a witch but the Democrats could use someone that can fight dirty and she sure fits the bill playing nice doesnt work all the time just ask Al Gore |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by Ibime(m): 3:27pm On Jun 05, 2008 |
MyTempID, please take your Obama-hating elsewhere. Nobody wants to hear it. Kudos to Obama for winning the ticket but I think he needs to make Hillary his running mate to heal some of the divisions. |

Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by sheniqua: 5:15pm On Jun 05, 2008 |
Novacaine: On the radio today,they compared his charisma and oratory with Robert Kennedy's. But he will not end up like RFK even if there are 2 million " his temp Id's " around. |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by sheniqua: 5:17pm On Jun 05, 2008 |
The best candidate for VP, (if only he'll agree) is AL GORE. If Al gets on that ticket, this game is over. let them go and beg him. |

I don't understand why they can't elaborate on their opinions without feeling the need to snap. More the reason why I choose not to affiliate with these clowns. They have very little points of interest to contribute, but instead continue to shower themselves in insultive lingo that just shows they're incapable morons. As soon as they see someone disagree with their thoughts they feel ad-hominems will simply scare them off, mind you, that's not how it functions in the real world. In the world out there these empty shells would be assigned simple tasks since they can't handle the heavier ones. Good Lord! How can you type this with a straight face when the first post from you on this thread was insults-riddled? By your own admission, you were lurking, waiting for the first chance to jump on the person your post directed to and then you don't stop there. . .You take it further by insulting everyone whose opinion differs from yours. If they shower themselves in insulting-lingo, then you sir soak yourself in it. |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by ima1(f): 6:30pm On Jun 05, 2008 |
See why i say Clinton is evil, she doesn't plan to end her campaign, she plans to suspend it, keep all her votes so come November if they vote for her she might be able to win it, does that say this is someone who would want to be Obama vice president or is she just trying to steal this thing from Obama from under the rug. Clinton plans to suspend her campaign within days, her campaign said. By suspending instead of dropping out altogether, Clinton would technically remain a candidate, entitled to keep statewide pledged delegates and district-level delegates. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/05/clinton.obama.wrap/index.html |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by 4Him1(m): 5:37am On Jun 06, 2008 |
ima1: Mitt Romney also merely suspended his own campaign so technically he's still a candidate but we all know the RNC can only present one candidate in Nov. The same thing for the DNC, there cannot be 2 candidates in Nov sooner or later someone will just have to remove Hillary's blinkered glasses. I suppose she still finds it difficult to fathom how she went from virtually a shoe-in for the nomination last yr to also-ran. |

Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by anonimi: 10:30am On Jun 06, 2008 |
Below are just the last two paragraphs of Abati's comment on Obama's nomination In total Obama has spent just about three years as a Senator, and four years as Senator in the state of Illinois. He is just 46. If he had been a Nigerian, he would have been told to wait and allow older people to run. Obama has the gift of the gab. Here, he would have been told: "na grammar we go chop". His insistence on change would have been pooh-poohed. His contemporaries out of sheer envy would have said: "is he the only one, who does he think he is?" And they would have struggled to pull him down even without being commissioned to do so by the opposition, or the Clintonites. In the last Presidential elections in Nigeria, Pat Utomi had wanted to be President. He shares a lot in common with Barack Obama. Well-educated, well-spoken, has a good grasp of issues and has demonstrated a passion for the common good over the years. He ran a vigorous campaign criss-crossing Nigeria on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), but what was the main response to Utomi: "oh yes, he is a good candidate, but Nigeria is not ready for a good candidate yet." http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/editorial_opinion/article02//indexn2_html?pdate=060608&ptitle=The%20Barack%20Obama%20phenomenon%20(2) Maybe as we dey jollificate for Obama we can also ask ourselves when will Nigeria be ready for a good candidate ![]() While we are at it we may also ask how, why not if not etc etc etc ![]() Abi una don see Americanas wey get am for two heads or maybe 11/4 head ![]() Or maybe dem dey ban us from reading the same books or attending the same schools wey dem dey go for learn these liberating theories ![]() |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by anonimi: 11:05am On Jun 06, 2008 |
adebisi1: I am obliged to point out that his winning had NOTHING to do with his being black rather you could say he won the nomination despite being labelled not-being-black-enough by those who see themselves as the real African-Americans. He has shown that you don't need to practice being black, whatever that really means, to be successful with blacks. You only need to live your life efficiently as quite a number of whites and Asians do and a growing number of latinos and blacks are now realising is the way to go. It is a question of having good values ingrained and disciplined above all things. |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by EmekaNaija(m): 2:05pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
I wish i could see those nairalanders who wrote off Obama. Today, i hope many of them would swallow their words and savor in the true meaning of democracy. Guess the same guys would argue Obama cannot win the Presidency for whatever reasons. Watch out for Mcain's landslide loss. You heard it here first. The day Obama came down to Sunrise, Florida, i was thrilled by the huge crowd that turned out to see him. Anyone who does not vote for Obama is truly unpatriotic, because anyone who sits and hears his message knows this is the natural leader we need at this point. He'll surely win Florida in November and go on to be the President. I feel sad whenever the guys is labelled black. |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by Novacaine(m): 7:35pm On Jun 06, 2008 |
@EmekaNaija He is about the smartest candidate i have seen in recent times i mean that guy speaks with so much intelligence he knows his onions and it would be injustice if he doesnt become the next president of the states |

@ EmekaNaija I wish i could see those nairalanders who wrote off Obama. Today, i hope many of them would swallow their words and savor in the true meaning of democracy.I think Nairaland posse of Obama haters would hate Obama even more. Chances of them swallowing their words is remote. Obama reminds them of their own color, its called self hate. |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by MyTempID: 8:32am On Jun 07, 2008 |
@myTempIDWow! What a fruit. Don't come forth with speculations and opinions and attempt to disperse them as facts. Michael Moore cannot and will not take away from Hillary Clinton's accomplishments - either in the US. senate or as first lady. Ask any politically well-informed person around (as clearly you're not) and they can tell you that Hillary Clinton has been fighting for the greater good of Americans all of her adult life. She's had a profound impact on the lives of many with her tenacious involvement in healthcare. The silly fact that you choose to base your disqualifications of Mrs. Clinton's accomplishments on what Michael Moore or his conspiracy theory detailed is a showcasing of your stupidity and blockheadedness. Meanwhile, if you bring forth some impressive facts we can further debunk your useless accusations. Otherwise, it is completely foolish and meaningless to postulate over your gross hatred for Mrs. Clinton. There's no gain in continuing a bloated discussion with a weenie head who continues to make uninformed speculations ad nauseum. |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by MyTempID: 8:40am On Jun 07, 2008 |
hey my mumu (FOOL) or is it my dullard friend. what has bush done to your so called economy so far since he got there? He has gone to war with it and killed Clinton good works.Dare you associate with a dullard? On second thought, scratch that. You do. Your choice to associate with, and befriend, dullards is telling of the sort of friendships you keep. But of course I'm not surprised to find that you do indeed have some dullards as friends: namely, but not limited to, ima1, sheniqua, or whomever else fits the list. ima1 I must say is leaps and bounds ahead of the irreparable sheniqua. Anyways, excuse my deviation. First, I must say I'm almost amazed that you have finally decided to give the Clintons credit for some of their work. As for your other remarks: giggles. you are just laughable clown to me.The pre-mentioned laughable clown has continued to chip in with points you're yet to refute. I'm not at the very least shocked that you've chosen to take the blow-hole route of scattering ad-hominems. Your post is slightly more bearable than sheniqua's insult riddled posts. Don't fault me for joining in while also maintaining my level head. ![]() |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by MyTempID: 8:54am On Jun 07, 2008 |
Playing catch up in the middle of the night is certainly interesting. I wrote: I doubt she needs you to tell her how or when to end her campaign. You would have advised her to curse her way out of it like you commonly do. you wrote:
Clearly YOU need to make sense. Yes, Hillary will end her campaign, but not because YOU asked her to. Did you write her a personal letter, send her an e-mail, phone her, or inform her through some invisible intermediary? Obviously not. Dummy. Ibime wrote: MyTempID, please take your Obama-hating elsewhere. Nobody wants to hear it. Kudos to Obama for winning the ticket but I think he needs to make Hillary his running mate to heal some of the divisions.Ibime, please, before you come out of the ropes flailing like a be-headed chicken get the message right. When I have addressed Obama in my posts, though it may seem like I'm bashing or hating to some of you, I made sure I presented my opinions on him with some properly developed information I collected or facts I gathered about his overall experience. As is usually the case when defending one person over another, it may appear that I am hating but I actually am not. If you think I am then do present the post and we can analyze it in its entirety. I might have been harsh, but in no way can you misconstrue that as "hate". |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by MyTempID: 9:19am On Jun 07, 2008 |
Sisikill:Double sigh! Another short-sighted defender of the universe. My first post was in response to this: Hillary is so stubborn and a freakin bitch, thank God she didn't win because after playing dirty n thinking she is entitled to be president because both bush (father and son) were president, come on Obama beat her fair and square, i just don't see why she wouldn't conceede, And, I wrote this in response:
So to answer your question, Sisikill, I guess I typed it with as much of a straight face as you used in typing yours. I mean, like seriously, did you really think you could get away with that without me catching it? My response was not only justified, it is to be met with an applause. But, i guess since this thread is synagogued by Obama-loving-democrats, you found it hard to induce good judgement in attempting to single me out. Come on, do the rays bouncing off your assessment mirror deflect in more than one direction, or have you only been taught to be biased in assessing rudimental arguments? If I sir-soak myself in insultive-lingo, then you must definitely immerse yourself in complete insincerity. |

MyTempID:Sir, could you tell us the opinion of this "expert" of yours. And if you are that expert, lets know your opinion. This is the only time in the history of America when people have been able to see beyond color. For people like you out there with expert idea or indeed theory, we'll love to hear what it is. I have this feelings that if (and indeed he will win) Obama wins, you will simply commit suicide ![]() |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by mystikal(m): 10:15pm On Jun 07, 2008 |
in as much i understand the love and support for Obama here, the bad mothing of Hilary really sucks She ran an impressive campaign as a woman, and came marginally close. she has 18 million voters loyal 2 her. her place in history of US national politics is secured. obama hailed her as a ''brave woman", and i wonder y some of you his supporters seem to bash her. the Clinton's have always campaigned for a better America where one day an african american would be president, guess they never realised it was going 2 be under their watch, but really the Clintons have the American's best interest at heart, they've always done that. |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by nijerd: 12:04am On Jun 08, 2008 |
This historic Obama win is worth celebrating. I am so glad for the breath of fresh air- at least, we can have someone whose father or wife(apologies to the Bushes and Clintons ) has not been part of the problems hereto. I'm also glad that good planning has triumphed over big names and clout. My joy will know no bounds when the "young" Obama helps nail the coffin of the "old order" by sinking McCain. Once again , I congratulate America! |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by MyTempID: 2:40am On Jun 08, 2008 |
nijerd:Thanks for speaking with common sense. The same can't be said for some of our other posters. naijamark:Don't be so ridiculous. Only stupidity will cause you to profess that Obama being black had absolutely 'NOTHING' to do with his nomination. Tsk! Tsk! I guess the overwhelming black votes he received was just a coincidence. In as much as it is difficult to find resources for some of the spoken words on TV (by these experts), I will provide you with links to polls where blacks catapulted Obama to victory over Clinton. To be candid, the better candidate won (in the eyes of many), and he was Obama and he has the delegates to back it up, there's no denying this. Obama won. He earned and deserved it. He is an excellent persuasive speaker. Although, in my opinion at least, he is nothing more than a glorified used car salesman. Had both candidates ran in different years, these same pea-brained Hillary bashers would be the first to support her on the basis that she's a woman. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/05/06/exit-polling-shows-wright-controversy-economy-matter-to-indiana-north-carolina-voters/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22859978/ more, more, more more and then some more. Now, I would love to continue digging out sources to validate this point, but instead I'll ease up and ask you ton consult google. To say that Obama's being black has not helped him during this election is denial at its peak. Further, before you attempt to stupefy my post keep in mind that I am not saying Obama won because he's black. All I said is, it definitely didn't hurt that he got close to 80-90 percent of the black votes. |

And na the closest to dudu presido wey yanky go get be that. Peace! |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by JayFK(m): 9:08am On Jun 09, 2008 |
People who vote for Obama because he is black are racist. |
Re: Obama Clinches Democratic Nomination by MyTempID: 9:11am On Jun 09, 2008 |
That. And, many of those who vote for Obama on the basis that he is black fail to realize that he is no more black than he is white. They are plentiful on this thread. You hear them say things along the lines of, "Obama has made my dreams come true, he has shown that blacks are equals, he has sugared their tea and buttered their bread." They have allowed political racism to cloud their reasoning. It should go without saying that they suffer from inferiority complex. |
