Africa Is Feeling So Much Joy From The Obama Victory! They Feel He Will Help!
America isn't the only place that is feeling the ecstasy of now having the first black president of the United States. Africa is feeling joy amidst the pain & suffering that is going on all over the land. Barack Obama is someone of Kenyan ancestry. He may take interest in actually helping the Africa because part of his roots are there. This is a president who has a connection to this very troubled land. And a lot of Africans anticipate a change for them as well. According to CNN:
"Yvonne Okwara, from Kenya, wrote: "Obama's win is so personal to so many of us, it continues to amaze me. One thing America has taught us today is that true democracy never dies."
Basimane Bogopa, from Botswana, added: "Americans have shown once again, why they are world leaders. Obama's victory has shown me that the American dream is real, you just have to dream. My heart is filled with joy."
Many Africans believe an Obama presidency will help the impoverished continent. His victory is likely to seal America's reputation in the minds of many Africans as a land of opportunity. (END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:

Shepard Smith Tears Into Ralph Nader ! Nader Said Obama May Be An "Uncle Tom!"
All you blacks who supported Ralph Nader should be stunned & feeling ridiculed by what he told Shepard Smith tonight. He got his ass on Fox News & said that Barack Obama never mentions the poor, which he says is largely black. At that point in the interview,Shepard Smith becomes visibly agitated with Ralph Nader. He told him that he was irrelevant in this race & that he had basically disgraced himself by making that statement. The real Ralph Nader is what I always knew him to be. He tried to take away from Barack Obama's historic night by trying to place doubt in the minds of African-Americans. Barack Obama is no Uncle Tom. How dare he! Thanks to Shepard Smith for putting him in his place. Shepard Smith is a true patriot, in the words of Bill O'Reilly. I wonder how they really feel over at Fox news. I hope Sean Hannity is somewhere heartbroken & crying his eyes out. He campaigned so hard for Sarah Palin & John McCain. But at least there's one decent soul over at Fox & that is Shepard Smith.
