African Press' take on Obama

Here's a few stories from the African Press -- the same organization that claims to have an inflammatory and incriminatory phone conversation with Mrs Obama. That's a whole nother story. Here's their title:

"OBAMA was to be assassinated today - 8 days to the US Presidential elections"
Look at API's earlier stories at the end of the page on the danger that faces Obama! We have stated earlier that he is putting his life in danger. We have also warned of the bloodshed in America if the Americans fail to use their vote wisely!
A related article: "The American people should prepare for bloodshed between the 5th of November 2008 and 20th of January 2009. "Do not say you were not warned."
Bloodshed can only be stopped by the Americans themselves by execising (sic) their voting right wisely. Personally, I do not have any agenda or intention to bring forth confusion only days to the election, but the truth must be told to the Americans and the world.

America, the only powerful nation in the world right now, will be brought to its knees between the 5th of November 2008 and January 20th 2009 if the American people do not vote wisely on the 4th of November.
He then likens the change in Kenya to change here in the US. And he makes a good point about identity politics and Obama's message of CHANGE! as in what does it mean. It means the only slogan he could run on. What else did he have? 130 days in the US senate and 130 *presents* in the Illinois senate..
People were killed. Neighbours murdered neighbours in the name of change. So Americans should be prepared for that which may come in the name of change.

But the question they should ask is, yes we want change, but, change from what to what? People should know where they are heading to and should not be blinded and misled to fight for change they do not know where it is leading them to.
I fear for the American people now and feel for them and pray for them because of what is about to happen if they misuse their voting rights. I have been able to listen to their concerns and I can say America is being held hostage by fear at this moment and time. The vote they cast on the 4th of November will determine the future for their children, both white and non-white. We have seen children in schools in America taking guns and killing their own friends. Now come elections, and the heated political situation that has divided the country into two. It is like fighting for a popularity contest, where the contestants are determined to win, whatever it may cost. And this time it will not cost money, but many lives because the song of change has brought fear right into every American home.
If they have learnt something then they should save their country from racial divide that will see neighbours start to shoot one another, because we know almost every American home has a gun, so they will not be throwing any stones at one another.
A black man or woman, for example, will be considered mad if he decides not to support Obama just for the simple fact that he is black and has Kenyan roots. The roots where he gets the charisma that enables him to feel he will save the Americans from world hate by inviting leaders of hostile countries to dine in the White House.
Here, an interesting take on Obama's willingness to sit down with rogue leaders.
To save America from world hate according to the masses who sing "change" in chorus, will be for Obama to befriend Ahmadinejad of Iran, Chavez of Venezuela and our Kim in the North. Not that I have any problem with these men - No. In one way, I have admiration for their style of leadership. The only thing I am saying is that the American people must be made to understand what kind of change they will get and at what cost? (Bloodshed?). Americans are in for a big surprise because they will have the three men as frequent visitors to the White House in the name of Change and dialogue.

Do not say you were not told. The world will be watching when you fall into a crisis where you are shooting yourselves indiscriminately because you will have been blinded by the word - change.
I agree. Whomever becomes president it will be change. It's just the matter of what color the dollar bill will be. Did barry mint some cash to go with his presidential seal?

And then there's this article: "Obama's running mate J. Biden may take over the presidency" Analysts are now saying that if Barack Obama waves manage to put the Democrats in charge, there is no way that their lead candidate will survive until the inauguration day the 20th of January 2009. No number of security men and women will manage to protect him from assassination if he wins the presidency.

Analysts say they already see a possibility of a vacuum after the elections on 4th November...It is now a general belief that J. Biden is preparing himself for the presidency to avoid a vacuum being created...But the same observers are in agreement that if Obama is elected and assassinated before taking over office, the black people will however have achieved their aim of having a black man elected to the highest office in the only powerful nation in the world. History will have been written down even if Obama does not get the opportunity to give his first orders as the US Commander in Chief.
Kind of puts all the articles in perspective. Including the fact that they allege Mrs Obama made that call. Still it's an interesting look at what happens to sensationalized reports of skinheads planning mass murder and the eventual assassination of obama. It's absolutely irresponsible and hysterical reporting.
