RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Why Would Any American African Vote For Obama?

To vote in an election is to choose one candidate over one or more others. Voters make this choice based on their interests and how well they believe their preferred candidate will serve their interests. A voter’s challenge therefore is an optimization challenge.

If one has to choose between two strangers, the smart choice would be the less “strange” stranger? The choice between two evils should be clear. Obama may have been a disappointment. Who is to say that the alternative to him will not be worse?

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Why Would Any American African Vote For Obama?

 

A keen observer shared the following data with us just a few minutes ago. It made me ponder why any American African or any other naturalized American citizen would want to vote for Obama in 2012. In addition to dropping bombs, butchering, beheading and lynching Afrikan Libyans and immigrants in that country and Somalia and will soon do the same in Uganda, the Congo and the Central Afrikan Republic, his record on immigrants is dismal, despite his earlier lofty talk about immigration reform from which he has chickened out.

Now that I have given you the stats on Obama as the most anti-immigrant president in American history, never mind that he is also the first American president to drop bombs on Africa.....
