Somali's offended in kenya, demand US Apology for Obama |
|

Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Fri Feb 29 00:56:56 2008 Will there be rioting?BTW, I don't think we have good relations with Somalia. Reuters Kenyan elders demanded an apology from Washington on Thursday ahead of a planned protest over a controversial photo of U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama in traditional Somali dress. The picture, which appeared on a U.S. Web site, showed the Democratic frontrunner donning a white headdress and robes during a visit in 2006 to the remote north-eastern town of Wajir. The dispute has angered many in Kenya, especially ethnic Somalis from the northeast, who resent the implication that Obama did anything wrong during his visit. Wajir residents plan to demonstrate after Friday prayers to show their support for the Illinois senator. Mohamed Ibrahim, who attended one of two crisis meetings held in Wajir on Thursday by clan members who hosted Obama on his trip, said Washington must immediately make amends to them and especially to the elder pictured with him. "The U.S. government must apologise to us as a clan and the old man," Ibrahim told Reuters by telephone. "We have been offended and we cannot afford to just watch and stay silent." He said it was essential Clinton "clear her name" too. |

Because I have never seen a large scale "demonstration after Friday Prayers" happen peacefully. ever.That was always Arafats favourite day of the week too. Maybe the group demonstrating isn't large enough to cause trouble. Which is why I said "large scale". But then again, the latest thing did leave 1000 people dead. |

I guess we'll see. Kenya's been having lots of problems of their own. I don't think that they'll be tolerating any shenanigans from ethnic Somali's. |

Another reason not to vote for Barack HUSSEIN Obama. Typical 3rd world bullshit which Barack HUSSEIN Obama will only drag us deeper into. Funny how when Giuliani or McCain were taking the heat you didn't hear the Italian or Irish goverments crying about it. Also funny how Catholics, Protestants and Jews don't demonstrate after their sabbath prayers. |

So now, because the 3rd world is running a candidate for president under the demoncratic banner, they now feel they have a right to demand anything from this country? Well - let me give them my answer loudly and clearlyDROP DEAD |

Like I said, you didn't hear the Italians saying they'd close down our naval bases and airbases in Italy everytime Giuliani got some rough treatment, same for the Irish too. We bullshit about politics here a lot. But now I'm really beginning to think that Barack Hussein Obama must be sensitive about his heritage and middle name for reasons we don't know - yet.Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama Barack HUSSEIN Obama |

Everytime Guiliani runs, we hear about connections to the Mafia.Giuliani had a VERY close family member (hint: as close as a family member can get) in the Mafia. Also, his way of getting revenge on people has a lot in common with the Mafia's way. The only point in his favor (and of course it's a major point) is that he doesn't cause physical injury to his victims. |

In reality, this entire controversy over barack's middle name is just a red herring thrown out by the Arianna Huffington leftists to divert attention from the real issues. The issue that should be frramd is: "IS OBAMA QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT?"The limp-wristed, left-winged, demoncratic socialists want us to debate and discuss anything but that. |

I don't have an answer, I don't have close kenyan blogs like other countries.OTOH, his cousin doesn't have any reason to riot yet with such a close family member possibly being less than a year from being president. Judging from this riots can happen at the drop of a hat. Give it a day to see if any news coverages comes out about the demonstration. It's possible that the entire AP fleet is in the Gaza Strip right now staging pity photos. The story does say "remote village". I was picturing a bigger town. |

Remember when Arianna Huffington was a super-conservative? She was married to Michael Huffington the conservative Republican that tried to be Governor of California. Of course as is often the case with super conservative Republicans he turned out to be a closet homosexual. IINM she became liberal in large part due to the scarcity of heterosexual men in the Republican party. |

I notice you have trouble staying focused on the issue at hand. Arianna Huffington today. Barack Obama's experience & judgemment or the lack there-of. I know you liberals will want to talk about anything but that. |

Insults are always the issue at hand for you, but anyway...I hear Arianna every once in a while on "Left, Right, and Center", but I don't listen that often. McCain is the most experienced. I don't think that he'd make a bad President, but my views are more in line with Hillary and Obama. We actually have pretty decent choices compared to the last two Presidential elections. |

Like I say every 2-4 years(depending on what the local election is), can we have a rematch!I've never been able to come up with a verdict on Hillary because she's so professional. I never know exactly what she's really into. OTOH, if a politician is supposed to represent the will of the people, than I guess they're supposed to be silly putty. Not sure if that's a good thing. |
