Intimacy with lifes reality: July 2010

After 2yrs of Barack Hussien Obama as the first "black" president of United States Of America its seems their is no significant change in America,its widely believed that the emergence of Obama a black man, will change the PR of America and strengthening ties with the Arab world will be easier. The emergence of Obama brought hope to the African-Americans and other immigrants,they believe with his foreign background and African roots,succor has come the way of the oppressed and alienated Immigrants. The Arab world sees his emergence has a change from the normal American White christian choice of President thus regarding Obama as a believer in islam though he proves to be a practicing christian. "Hussien" didn't really feature in his names will campaign,it was a silent middle name that not many really knew until after his victory in 2009. I followed the 2009 election campaign and I believed that many voted Obama in because he was black and the Opposition was not tough enough. Any democrat would have won the election due to the unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Americans were tired of the unending war in Iraq which many thought was going to be a quick invasion by the sophisticated US marines and the fatality suffered in the hands of the Afghan Taliban is too much to bear. The inability of Allied force to find Weapon of Mass destruction inside Saddam's bunkers sealed off any chances of the Republicans to hold to power. This singular miscalculation by former Pres. Bush was the opportunity that brought the Democrats to power and it was a well calculated move by Democrats to push the Obama candidacy so as to win sympathy votes. The Bush administration had though foreign policy which was not famous with the Arab world and even labeled a region "axis of evil" . This policy brought a lot of heat on Americans,example is the terror attack on the World Trade Centre ,but the policy was having a good effect, countries like Iran and North Korea, who are enriching in Nuclear weapons came under heavy and hard sanctions sponsored by the Bush led America. North Korea actual got away with sinking South Korean war ship killing 46 sailors,they where torpedoed off the sea. North Korea also threatened war is punished for the act and asked that the result of the indicting investigation should not be debated in the scheduled UN security council meeting. Many people got carried away by the opportunity of having an African-American president with a closer ties to Africa rather than paying attention to his policies and manifestos. Nobody took interest in the current problems of America and Obama's constructive and meaningful solution to them,rather they took interest in his personality and majority African-Americans just want a Black man in the white house at any cost. The whole world was tired of American overbearing influence in the world and crave for someone that will make America more relaxed and friendly with her enemies,all they got in Obama. During his campaign, Obama promised to close Gitmo,withdraw all troops in Afghanistan and Iraq,he said he would sit with Iran to resolve issues and he also promised to deliver a strong and warning speech to the Arab world on Arab soil. Obama promised a new and better health plan and promised to bridge the gap between the rich and the middle class. After his inauguration, Obama is still pondering on how to execute all these plans he naively and arrogantly promised the electorates, Obama never understood how things really are in America and he lacks the knowledge of diplomacy and policy strategies. Bush might be regarded as a dumb leader but he never failed to toe the line of history and American Heritage in dealing with National and global issue. Iraq and Afghan war may not be justified but the response to 9/11 was well timed and welcomed, though the fall out was catastrophic but it was the necessary measure at that crucial time. The course in Iraq left a big political scare on the two major contributors to the invasion, Us and Uk. The labour party in Uk is a good ally of the ruling Republicans in the Us,both shared a similar view on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,which cost both parties to loose in recent elections. These are one of the factors that brought Obama to White house and he seized the opportunity to sweet talk the world about unrealistic policy and diminishing America's heritage in the process. After 2yrs Gitmo is getting weaker and more complicated,the health bill was imposed rather than debated,he seems to be in opposition with the people. Obama's anti-Israel posture is a cause of concern for me,his inability to call Hamas to order and other anti-Israeli stands and comment are clear signs where his heart is. The Obama campaign group blamed the bush administration and Bush a big bashing from Obama during the New Orleans hurricane Katrina incidence. Bush was criticized for his slow response to the issue,Obama was among those pointing the blame finger at the Bush administration for neglecting the Katrina victims. The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been described as Obama's Katrina. He was slow is responding to the biggest oil spill on American shore,he failed to implement his own solutions to stop the leak rather he left it in the hands of BP that never handled such task before. Obama couldn't take the heat of the oil spill and he's now directing the blame to Britain,we all know British owns BP,but the facility was built and maintained by Americans. He's making us all see the British as the cause of the spill,but we all know the financial gain from these wells are enjoyed more in America than in the uk. The best and first solution he rendered to the spill was to stop all rigging on American soil,a move seen as a radical and undemocratic. Will Obama ground all airplanes if one crashes in Washington?,just like he was super quick to label Nigeria a "Terrorist Country" because of the isolated case of Abdul Muttalab. I hope his economy advisers are enlightening him on the economical consequences of his stopping all rigging in America. BP's lack of quick response to the leak has caused the biggest oil spill in America proposing the largest ecological disaster in that region. Obama took the criticism to personal,he was telling a bunch of Michigan high school grads. not to join the blame game which he enjoyed doing in the Bush era and during the katrina issue and economic melt down saga. Obama himself was and very harsh in blaming the BP for the spill and even threatened a law suit against the British oil company,he recently has been visiting the affected areas after criticism poured in about his negligence and every visit has been an opportunity to breath down on BP's neck. Finally,I wish no to be misunderstood as a racist because I share Obama's ski colour, though a purer and more full blooded African than he is. I welcome his emergence as president because I respect every true and fair democratic transition of power anywhere in the world,but I don't subscribe to his ideas and candidacy. Obama is a man of great personality in American political circle and a charming man but leadership requires more than personality and looks. I hope this piece will be a way of letting it know that rich heritage and her position as the defender of the oppressed worldwide should maintain its status,we should not let the fact of having an African-American erode the real job at hand. There are too many tyrants out there wanting world domination through nuclear enrichment, and I don't wish to loose the privilege of sitting peacefully in my yard in my "developing" African country.
