What is real about Obama McCain, Biden and Palin?

Nowadays Africans in Diaspora are seriously blogging and analyzing, discussing and almost every minute of the day about senators Barack Obama, john McCain, Joe Bidden, African journalist m writers and commentators on the continent of Africa cannot wait dish out articles and commentaries about Obama, and the American government. To demonstrate that to demonstrate that they are within the loop some African leaders, especially Nigerian leaders, have joined the analyses with such bust of energy –analyzing and discussing about the real obama. Indeed we have become the pundits and the intelligent analysts of these candidates, often claiming, with impunity and courage, to know them more than typical Americans. It is good that we showing some level of involvement. However an in-depth glossed over the main subject matter: what is real about these candidates. It is therefore important that we dig deep into what is real about these candidates, and draw crucial lessons from it. What is real about Obama McCain, Biden and Palin, we claim to “know”, is that they have no bank account in any African country for that matter. They never purchased any piece of property in Tunisia or Niger and probably never will. There is a lesson to learn from this knowledge. Their patriotic decision to invest their money in their country, USA, is rooted in what leadership is all about, namely,”my people first”. Those who understand American government know that these candidates would not dream of running for any political office in America if there is any slightest doubt that they might have opened an account in Nigeria or Ghana, for instance. So they wisely invest their own money in their own country, the USA. Their investment continues to develop and improve American economy. What is real about Obama McCain, Biden and Palin, we claim to “know” that they never flew to any African country for medical treatment or check up. They never sent their relatives abroad for any medical treatment. In addition they never wanted their kids to be born in any African. On the contrary several African leaders rush their pregnant wives abroad to have their babies. Is this an act of patriotism? No it is not. What is real about Obama McCain, Biden and Palin, we claim to “know”, is that they invested their money in their country’s education and as such will never send their ward s to study abroad or in Nigeria. These candidates know that education is civilization, and a country without a sound education will never see the light of civilization. They invest in their almamaters, sponsor through scholarships and grants the under privileged students in their own universities. On the other hand our African leaders do not hesitate to send their children abroad to study with the money they have stolen from the nations pocket, they do not invest in the education of their country. You should not be surprised if the minister of education does not have any of his children in any school in his country, the situation is that bad. In conclusion the politicians in Africa are not patriotic neither are they worthy of their position, so African are praying to God to show his mercy and give to Africa a leader that will lead them to the promised land.
