Why Obama gives hope to us all

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I read crap that is just so shyte I have to speak my mind. Anyway I emailed this wanker, so I will see if he responds. The last reporter I contacted that was worshiping Obama and demanding democracy in HK stopped talking to me after I explained my position. Some people can't handle my truth.

here is my initial email

Dear Peter

Please Peter, the mass media has been preparing the US public with
a black president or a female president with shows like 24 and
commander and chief. Anyone in the know could have seen this coming
years back.

What is the biggest joke about the sham, is that all three belong
to the CFR and are tools of our masters. Slavery has not ended in
America, it has just been disguised.

The only reason Obama was in the primaries was to keep everyone
questioning Clinton's background. The Rothschilds have already
anointed president Clinton.

McCain is suffering from dementia and needs his puppet masters to
feed him with answers.

Maybe an investigation into the 2 dead gay church members would
reveal the truth about Obama.

The race ordinance is driven by the UN and the their cohorts, if
you haven't noticed these same ordinances are being passed by all
countries at the same time. There is a hidden hand moving the pieces
on the grand chessboard.

Why Obama gives hope to us all

Wednesday, July 23, 2008


A visit to America to see relatives and drop the kids at summer school has shown that many things haven't changed - the blue skies and thunderstorms of summer, the smell of freshly mown lawns, the delays and cancellations at the airports, the inability to get mobile phone coverage in the subway - but in at least one way, America seems a different country from the one I last visited in late 2007.

Someone other than a white American is in the running to be president, as a mainstream candidate no less, and by most guesses is likely to win.

It would be wrong to say the distinct possibility of a President Obama is significant only because of America's unfortunate history with slavery, for cases of ethnic minorities rising to highest elected office are very rare: a President Zidane of France, for example, or a Prime Minister Shah in Britain or Prime Minister Ozgur of Germany seem almost infinitely remote.

The only example I can think of is the rather unedifying one of Peruvian President Fujimori.

Whether or not Obama prevails in November is not perhaps the point: somebody has to lose. But countries cannot afford to waste the talents of entire segments of their populations merely because they are not of the prevailing race or ethnicity: Obama's candidacy, or rather its success to date, is evidence of America's enduring vitality.

The relevance of this development to Hong Kong is not just that a reinvigorated America is likely to boost our own prospects, but also how it ill
uminates the race-relations discussion we are currently having and the related piece of anti-discrimination legislation wending its way through the legislative process.

There are perhaps some legitimate questions about whether or not legislation is necessary or desirable in Hong Kong, and whether this particular legislation has been formulated for maximum benefit.

However, anyone who thinks there is no issue here in Hong Kong should ask why the idea of having a chief executive whose surname is other than a tonal monosyllable would be considered laughable. There are a number of community and business leaders from non-Chinese backgrounds whose families have been in Hong Kong for a couple of generations longer than those of some of the current political elite, but it will, it seems to me, be a generation or more before we'll see a non-Chinese chief executive in Hong Kong, race law or no race law.

I cannot quantify the amount and degree of racial or ethnic discrimination in Hong Kong, and whether, when it comes to the bread-and-butter issues of employment and housing, minorities suffer measurable harm.

However, one cannot avoid the suspicion that until Hong Kong can countenance a chief executive that is other than entirely ethnically Chinese, our city still has some way to go. One cannot merely argue that Hong Kong is a part of China and therefore chief executives must be "Chinese." Being Chinese and being loyal to China is not the same as being ethnically Chinese, a point made across the border with reference to China's own ethnic minorities.

There is at bottom a principle, that of allowing all citizens the opportunity to participate equally in society. Large parts of American society could, until this year, argue that without realistic potential access to the top job, many of the country's promises of equality rang rather hollow. Laws alone did not resolve this, although they helped. It took a very long time, though, and I don't think anyone seriously argues that Obama's success marks the end of race- relations issues in the United States.

This is meant as an observation rather than a criticism of the Hong Kong status quo. Hong Kong, for example, has already had women whose names are seriously proposed as possible chief executives, a point the United States really only reached in this election campaign as well. And it has taken America more than 200 years to reach the point where a non-white presidential candidate has a serious shot at winning.

But now that these milestones have been reached, America is stronger as a result. And Hong Kong ultimately would be too. But it will take time.

Well said John!!!!

Well said, indeed, Mr. Savage. But the writer's dimwitted platitudes sound good and "enlightened" to most people, and your letter sounds like "conspiracy theory" to them - ironically because you come off as so certain of your facts.

Until the middle wakes up to the fact that the puppet in the House of Isis (White House) doesn't control anything beyond his own bowel movements and pisses, and the left and right are tentacles of the same beast, that guy's claptrap is going to continue fooling people who think of themselves as hip to what's going on. And they can easily be manipulated into believing that hate-crime or anti-discrimination laws are proper and "progressive." That Hong Kong is moving towards such legislation is truly frightening to me.

A question for that fool:
Did the news become more "progressive" and "enlightened" when Max Robinson became the first black network news anchor?

BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- Standing before a massive crowd in a city that once symbolized division, Sen. Barack Obama warned Thursday about the dangers of allowing new walls to come between the United States and its allies.

"People of the world, look at Berlin, where a wall came down, a continent came together, and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one," Obama said in a speech at Berlin's Victory Column in the Tiergarten park.

"The fall of the Berlin Wall brought new hope. But that very closeness has given rise to new dangers, dangers that cannot be contained within the borders of a country or by the distance of an ocean," he said.

Obama said that people of all nations must stand together to face challenges of the 21st century, from terrorism to global warming to genocide.

"We cannot afford to be divided. No one nation, no matter how large or powerful, can defeat such challenges alone. None of us can deny these threats or escape responsibility in meeting them," he said.

The greatest danger, Obama said, "is to allow new walls to divide us from one another." Read a transcript of the speech

Obama started his speech by introducing himself as a "proud citizen of the United States and a fellow citizen of the world."

Police estimated that more than 200,000 people came to watch the speech, according to The Associated Press. Video Watch the crowds gather for Obama »

Shortly before the address began, Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, chided Obama and said he'd rather give a speech in Germany as president than as a presidential candidate.

"So we're going to be campaigning across the heartland of America and talking about the issues that are challenging America today," McCain said outside a German restaurant in Columbus, Ohio.

In a statement issued after the speech, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said, "Barack Obama offered eloquent praise for this country, but the contrast is clear."

"While Barack Obama took a premature victory lap today in the heart of Berlin, proclaiming himself a 'citizen of the world,' John McCain continued to make his case to the American citizens who will decide this election.

"John McCain has dedicated his life to serving, improving and protecting America. Barack Obama spent an afternoon talking about it," he said.

The Democrat said that his address was not a "political rally."

Crowds gathered at the Victory Column to listen to musical acts in the hours leading up to Obama's arrival.

Obama originally had hoped to speak in front of the iconic Brandenburg Gate, where President Kennedy was photographed during a 1963 visit after the rise of the Berlin Wall. Expressing solidarity with the people of the divided city during the same trip, Kennedy declared, "Ich bin ein Berliner."

That phrase, which means "I am a Berliner," expressed the unity of the West in the Cold War era.

The gate also was the site of a speech by President Reagan in 1987 in which he memorably urged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down" the wall.

But use of the landmark apparently was vetoed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who a spokesman Wednesday said disapproved of plans to co-opt it as a "campaign backdrop."

Asked whether he looked to Reagan's and Kennedy's Berlin speeches for inspiration, Obama said, "They were presidents. I am a citizen."

"But obviously, Berlin is representative of the extraordinary success of post-World War II effort to bring a continent together, to bring the West together -- East and West together," he said.

Nonetheless, as a youthful Democratic presidential hopeful who has promised change if elected and invoked comparisons with Kennedy, Obama's strategists hope a warm welcome from Germans will play well with voters.

Obama is in Germany for the latest leg of an international trip intended to bolster his foreign policy credentials at home and set out his vision for a new era of transatlantic cooperation.

His trip has taken him to Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Israel and the Palestinian territories. Obama is expected to stop in France and Great Britain before returning to the United States.

Obama has said he is making the trip as a senator and not a presidential candidate.

Robin Oakley, CNN's European political editor, said Obama enjoyed widespread popularity in Europe.

"He is one of those politicians who reaches parts other politicians don't reach," Oakley said. "After the unpopularity of George W. Bush, the world is waiting to love America again, and many see in Obama, with his youth and his optimism, somebody who can bring that about."

"The way the loser loses," said Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, who is close to both candidates but has made no endorsement, "will determine whether the winner wins in November."
