Speeches like Obama’s touches my heart and makes me realize how God speaks through humans. Look around the world, there is no peace in the entire world, I am amazed how people can not see and listen.
Obama ’s speech reminds me of one thing. “Unity and Change.” Unfortunately we are all busy dividing ourselves .
Sometimes you feel like , the end of this world is just around the coner.
Unfortunately, politics and human nature does not accept change that easily. In my own opinion, I feel, it can be done .
I am sure Zambians can also work through their tribal differences, and Unite for Change .
Check the link- Obama’s wonderful sothing speech, that always gives me goose pimples.

It is very surprising that Obama is still standing after North Carolina and Indiana. Honestly, I thought the hatchet men and women had finally got him. This is a candidate who is not just running against Clinton(s) but also forces within his own party, the MSM, and of course the whole lot of the republican party bigots. It was enjoyable for the ‘first time in my adult life’ to watch Fox news on Wednesday. They all looked deflated, dispirited and depressed!What a sight! Especially the likes of Hannity, Juan Williams, the so called Beltway boys…the whole lot really! They are now looking at what to throw at him next. But the question is will it work?

Mbulawa,
Thanks for your comment.
Yes I could see the fox news boys are still in a deep shock. Not when Obama has majority supporters like me. When things get sour, that is when I stand strong for my candidate. I supported Hillary in the begining, but switched because of her too many colors, so I was kinda of lost of who she was. She was campaigning like a republican, so that put me off completely. I still give her credit for not giving up her fight. I think if she took a positive campaign strategy, she would have been in the lead, but she listened to her campaign team. Old folks likes her, but young people are more for the future and not the past.
In my opinion, the youth stands stronger than the old, besides, they are the future leaders. Obama motivates the youth. Grand ma and grand Pa’s generation will soon phase out. We need to invest in the future leaders, and that is why Obama is more likeable among the youth group.
For women, their victory is Hillary. she will be their role model. She may end discrimination between men and women.
I know for sure because most women I interviewed told me they are supporting her because she is a woman. Nothing less and nothing more.
I look at things differently because I stepped out of my gender to see through certain things. I am not a mean person, so negative campaign do not do well for me.
I am sure if she was a nominee I will support her big time as long as she does not go too negative and use personal attacks in her campaign strategy, because iam not a mean person.
If it was meant to be, Obama will win the election,no matter what they bring forward.
Actually,Hillary mentioned in one of her campaign speech, that she never thought she would be standing with Obama. Most Dem candidates under-estimated Obama just like the way the republicans are under-estimating his electability. They all looked at him as inexperienced. The question is? do voters look at him that way? the answer is NO. People are tired of the same old style of politics.
Come general elections, you will see more of that phrase. “No experience”. My question is, what has the experienced politicians done so far to convince a voter like myself who may be voting for the first time in my life.
Never under-estimate the power of voters. When people get fed up, they get fed up.
I have already seen what they are planning to bring out on Obama, though I do not think people will buy it.
We will see. Time will tell.
Thanks a trillion
