Haruna,
I was going to direct you to Obama's website and forgot to do that but I see that Ousman has done so. I hope you will take time to go through the website to educate yourself about what it is that he can do for America if elected. He represents much more than just cosmetic change and a boost to the ego of immigrant Americans.

Haruna,
I do not know that what Edwards can represent to the American people is not the
same as what Obama will. Also, I do not think that there is any indication that
Obama beileves in religion as other than a moral compass.
As for being beholden to corporate America, well, all American presidents are
somewhat beholden to corporate America, and the difference is perhaps just a
matter of degrees. Having said that, Obama has spoken out against the insurance
companies who are at the top of the food chain when it comes to corporate
America because they own just about everything.
You are right, I like both Edwards and Obama, and I think that Edwards is a
great candidate, but I do not think that he will win the primaries. He is good
but America sees him as having been part of the old establishment even if only
because he ran before.
 I think Obama on the other hand stands a very good chance of winning the
primaries and Americans are angry enough at the republicans so that none of
their candidates stands a chance in the national elections, no matter who they
are.
So a wonderful and winning strategy for Democrats this time would be an
Obama/Edwards ticket.
Together, they can restore the hopes of the people and make great headway
towards reversing the damage that the last 8 years of a Bush Administration has
done
Thanks for providing the link to Ousman's blog, I had not known of it before. As
for Andrew Young Ousman, he dances to the music of corporate America and so he
has to pay the piper so no surprises there. He has now made a career of leading
the pillagers and plunderers into Africa. Dr King is no doubt turning in his
grave.

Jabou, you know you are beautiful. I can never get upset at you.
I think you like both John Edwards and Obama, but that you like Obama more
because his election will represent much needed change.
Would you consider that the election of John Edwards will also represent
change?
The work therefore is in discerning between John Edwards and Obama, who is
the more desirable change!!!
Now, like you about John Edwards, I like Obama a lot because I think he is
brilliant, popular, and his election will give hope to a lot of Immigrant
Americans.
John Edwards not only represents hope for more Americans than Obama, he has
shown the value of the change that he may accrue us. I have not had the
opportunity to witness a sampling of Obama's change except that he looks
different
from past presidents.
John Edwards' One America Foundation offers some hope.
John Edwards' rebuilding efforts in the Lower Ninth ward offer hope in what
America can be.
John Edwards fought with Huge corporate outfits on the behalf of regular and
common Americans, and John Edwards and Obama are both lawyers.
Senator John Edwards of North carolina will get dirty for you and with you.
North Carolina used to be the home of Senator Jesse Helms.
John Edwards enjoys enormous peer support and the most endorsements from
Democratic governors of states than either Obama or Clinton.
John Edwards is more electable across the United states than any candidate
currently seeking the presidency, Republican or Democrat. Check the stats.
Libby Edwards is beautiful and is not beholden to corporate America. Mrs.
Obama is beautiful but may be beholden to corporate America. She sits on the
board of Walmart.
John Edwards is handsome and is not given to religious distinctions nor does
he believe religion ought to be mixed with governance. John Edwards believes
in Religion as moral and ethical compass, not administrative compass.
Obama is good. John Edwards is more valuable to all America. Edwards-Obama
may be formidable. What do you think my dear? Lemme know, Lemme know!! You know
Ousman is an Obama-head!!! Don't you??
Your friend and colleague Haruna.

Haruna,
I both like and have a great deal of respect for John Edwards and his wife
Elizabeth for many reasons, some of which are mentioned below. However, I am
an Obama supporter myself. I also think Obama has a better chance of being
elected because among other things, he is seen as the "change" candidate by
a country that desperately needs change and Hillary ain't it. Infact, I
think Hillary has turned into a "snake oil sales lady" and she is everything to
everyone in her zeal to be president and I do not trust her at all and the
rest of the country is beginning to see through her. I think that Edwards' best
shot will be as a V.P for Obama. I think together they would make an awesome
team.
Now, now, don't get too upset.

Subject: I wish to share John Edwards with you:
We just concluded another conference call with David Medina, the national
campaign director for John Edwards.
We are excited about the prospects for a John Edwards Presidency. We are
pleased to have the support of Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover in South
Carolina. Our gratitude to the United Steel workers Union, The Mine Workers
Union,
The Carpenters Union, and Friends of the Earth Action Network. I am proud
of
John Edwards' performance in the just concluded democratic candidate debate
sponsored by the Des Moines Register. John Edwards is humble, intelligent,
and
stands up for the Common American even on unpopular issues. He has vision
and
character, attributes that are extremely valuable to American foreign
policy
and stature in the world.
We would like volunteers to assist in South Carolina, Iowa, Nevada, and New
Hampshire. We also wish to ask for your financial support if your time will
not allow volunteering. Please visit us at _http://www.johnedwards.com_
(http://www.johnedwards.com) and thank you for your support and company
toward
a
One-America.
Haruna.
