RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Romney And Obama Tied, But Romney Leads Amin...

How sad. Brother Bangura cannot help himself. He reminds me of one of those who would argue that Africans were better still colonized. We may still be there had we all listened to those self-negating voices who thought the “masters” had better ideas than the masses. Hmm!  How else does one explain this type of adoration for a man whose religion only a few years ago believed that Bangura’s people and people like him could not “see the gates of heaven.”  For sure, Romney’s group can claim to have upgraded their policies or changed them, I wonder what Romney believes? How far removed is he from such ideas? I suppose the 47% about whom he does not give a ??? would belong to that group that cannot have access to the “Elysian fields.”  And, the women still entrapped in those folders? Geez! Do I really want to be locked up like that—forgotten, rendered abject, mere dust? Ouch!

 

Bangura can spread the palm fronds or purple carpet for the benevolent dictator or emperor Romney all he wants. I remain with Obama.

 

Reasons why I would vote for Obama:

1)      He saved us from tumbling into the abyss of economic death. We were standing at the precipice. His predecessor did not tell us how badly things were!

2)      Obama’s values are closer to mine, and maybe yours, at least those who still believe in equity for all.

3)      Romney is a bully.

4)      Obama has been consistent and transparent about his policies; I do not know what Romney has proposed and he has been consistently inconsistent.

5)      Obama respects us (women); Romney thinks we are just dust in folders; actually, we are not event dust; we are just in folders!

6)      We like intelligence, elegance, and integrity and Obama possess these. Romney gets an “E” here.

7)      I like Michelle. I am selfish and I am a black woman.

8)      The economy is improving “stupid!” so, let us give the measures Obama has implemented a chance to work.

9)      Romney is likely to usher in WW3 & 4 together; he is a war monger.

10)   If you think Obama’s Africa policy stinks, you may not survive to see Romney’s!

11)   Kiss “Big Bird” goodbye. And, kiss everything else like the Bird goodbye! Really forget about the NEH and your State’s Humanities Councils, NEA, your museums, arts programs, Public Radio programs

12)   Our lives and health have value! The environment matters too!

13)    I have more reasons, but these will do.

 

Peace

If Bangura believes in Wilder effect, he has not explained what hypnotizes America when Obama has won in  states that are more than 90% white like Iowa, New Hampshire, Maine.

 

 Bangura is merely engaging in projections - his own wishes and sentiments that hover around visceral notions since he is stuck on Libya. That is not  a belief;  it is settling score. Really...and rational people should  think that overshadows quality of life issues  in America and beyond? 

 

He is not saying which of Romney's policies promote the interest of his Afrikaans. Mark Cuba offered a million with a possible 2 million to a charity if  Donald shaves his head. That's  how I greet Bangura's anti-Obama fits.....with laughter.

Bangura's strong belief in the power of the Wilder effect trumps all resonings and facts. Political fanaticism will do that to any rational being. So leave Bangura alone in his own world.

Bangura:

I admire your resilience and unflinching support for Romney, your favored candidate
for Tuesday's presidential elections.

Your forever breaking news were always supported with either one poll or the other
or some conservative opinion pieces from Fox news and other news sources favored by the Tea Party,
Birthers and Rush Limbaugh fans.

As soon as I get depressed after reading your 'Breaking News", I always switch channels to CNN.COM
which always relieves me of the anxiety provoked by your positings.

As this campiagn drwas to a close one can only wish that the better man amongst Obama and Romney wins
not only for Americans but the rest of the world!

And that better man in my opinion will be Barrack Obama!

The electoral map numbers---see CNN ticker tape on CNN>COm are adding up more favorably for an Obama triumph than'for Romney.

Bye,

Ola

Tale of the Tape for Sunday, November 4, 2012:

Romney and Obama are tied, but Romney has a solid lead over Obama among white voters, who vote more and are more enthusiastic this year to vote. The figures include who have already vote and likely yo vote. So watch out for the Bradley and Wilder Effects!!!

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows the race tied with President Obama and Mitt Romney each attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and another one percent (1%) remains undecided. See daily tracking history.

 

These figures include both those who have already voted and those likely to vote. Obama leads among those who have already voted, while Romney leads among those deemed likely to vote. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of voters are projected to be Democrats and 37% Republicans. Both candidates do well within their own party, while Romney has a nine-point advantage among unaffiliated voters.

 

One key to the outcome on Election Day will be the racial and ethnic mix of the electorate. In 2008, approximately 74% of voters were white. The Obama campaign has argued that this will fall a couple of percentage points in 2012 with an increase in minority voting. Others have noted the increased enthusiasm among white voters and the decreased enthusiasm among Hispanic voters and suggest that white voters might make up a slightly larger share of the electorate this time around. It is significant because Romney attracts 58% of the white vote, while Obama has a huge lead among non-white voters.

If the white turnout increases on Election Day, it will be very difficult for the president to win. If it decreases, it will be very difficult for him to lose. Rasmussen Reports currently estimates that white turnout will be similar to the 2008 totals.
