Yo Mama, Vote for Barack Obama

I really hope Barack Obama wins the American Democrats nomination and goes on to be elected president of the USA. He is the right person for the job.

America needs him and the world wants him as President.

Let me start by saying I am not anti-America. I like what America has brought us (except the overflow of reality TV C grade stars). I just have a sense of right and wrong and what I have seen over the past few years has not appeased me.

America’ reputation as the “good guy” of the world was, in my eyes, damaged by the actions of the current incompetent, I mean incumbent President. He redefined what “intelligence” was when he invaded Iraq based on them having Weapons of Mass Destruction only to find no such thing existed. I think we all saw that as a grab at oil which America and the world realise heavily upon.

But let us not look at the past but into the future.

Of the 3 candidates out there – the others being Hillary Clinton and John McCain, why do I believe that Obama is the right person?

Simply because he represents the future, not just of a country, but a world. These days, we are not just countries, we are a world wide social community. The world has become one giant FaceBook.

Hillary Clinton has history – she was the first lady not so long ago and that time is remembered with fondness. She was around at the death of major communist powers and when the iron Curtain was dismantled. She was around when the threat of a world war was begun. When freedom and expression was reigning through the world. When the world was at peace.

But I don’t trust her. She has changed her mind on a few issues so you wonder what type of leader she will be. I believe that she is one that bends to gain approval rather than one that will generally do the right thing.

(Take note that I am honest enough to know that no one will always do the right thing. There is no one like that in the world. But I hope for someone that who will have some form of moral compass).

Senator McCain is a good man but he is just too old. He will be too conservative at a time when conservatism will not be beneficial. He does not appease those young voters who want to see some sense of vibrancy with someone who will not look 4 years into the future but 10 or 20 years.

Obama is young so he can reach out the upcoming generation.

More importantly, the fact that he is not seen as a fat, rich white old man means he has immense appeal to the rest of the world, particularly Africa and Asia – up and coming areas that need guidance to ensure they function rightly.

Lastly, he may also appeal to the Muslim world. He does not seem as threatening as the other candidates and he is certainly an improvement on “Dubya”.

He is Christian yet as the middle name “Hussein”, he grew up outside of American and spent a few years living in Indonesia, a predominantly Islamic State. He has been witness to other cultures and this has shaped him. His mind is not closed and pro one country.

I believe Barack Obama is the right person to lead America and help shape the world at a time when qualities of strong leadership and an understanding of how the world works are truly needed.

So America, when you vote, vote 1 Obama.

The world begs you.

Welcome to South Australia...the new Tasmania

Australians have this joke about Tasmania. Because it is isolated and remote from the rest of the country, its population is small. So what happens a lot is the kids grow up and then move to the mainland. Some would g for work and some would go in search of a mate.

Back in the day this travel may have not been so avaliable given the level of technology ie) no planes and irregular boat rides.

So when a young person was searching for a mate, they had limited options. There are apparently countless stories of brothers marrying sisters or cousins etc etc. Basically incestuous things which are pretty disgusting when you thing about it. Yet this is not something you hear abouta lot these days.

However a story came about yesterday which made my stomach churned. Twas a story about a father and a daughter, getting jiggy with it (oh I can feel my stomach churning now) and wait for it....

HAVING A BABY

Bad!! Read all about it at this link

But this did not happen in Tasmania, it happened in South Australia.

I can just imagine the new tourism advertisement campaign.

South Australia...the new Tasmania

South Australia.....the place where families really come together

This is the state that has the highest rate of serial killers per capita, where people are so bored that they decide to join Al-Qaeda so they can can have a nice 5 year holiday in Guantanamo Bay.

But back to the couple at hand.

It appears they may not have known each other for a few years but only met each other after the mum passed away. That she said that she thought he was "he's not too bad" if she had met him at a bar and that he initially thought it was wrong but then decided to have go at his own daughter is well.....

CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean I know they were lonely and they were feeling alittle randy but my gosh.....this is to much to the extreme.

Added to this is she was married when they first got together but left her husband (whom she had 2 kids with).

Last but not least....they had a child some years ago but she/he passed away due to a heart condition.

So imagine the daughters' daughter, her dad is also her grandfather.

Only in Tasma...whoops I mean South Australia.
