Your hypocritical behavior and your bullshit is what's getting on my every freaking nerves, invoking Allah's name, quoting from the Qu ran and presenting yourself as a god fearing man is what you need to stop. Reading all of these is making me sick, especially after reading an email that you sent to someone couple of months ago, in this email you tried to romantically exploit these person by vomiting everything about you and what you have achieved, your life story and how professionally and materially blessed you are. You are not what and how you present yourself on line, so please stop the bullshit.

I don't care for you to know who I am, it is irrelevant. Sister Jabou please do not apologize, for you owe him none. 

I hate to take this route but was left with no other choice especially after your emails with references to the Qu ran and Allah the Almighty. You are HYPOCRITE.

abou,

 may have recognized your dilemma. I think you read SHitown as Shitside.  If 
hat is the problem, I now declare that you did not mean to tell a lie  
gainst your brother in Islam. It was mere oversight. I therefore rescind  
ssociating you with Munaafiqoon for it error and omission. I look forward  
agerly to 
our educating us if indeed I called the southside of Chicago another  odious 
ame elsewhere. If indeed this was the only occasion that wrought the  
irage, I encourage you to look up the genesis of SHitown. It is only amicable  
ention. Allahuma Aqfirlee, waliwaali Dayya, wa Jamee il muslimeen, wal  
uslimaat. This was a strange oversight on your part Jabou. Quite unexpected. I  
m 
ery disappointed in that your mind will wander ever so driftingly as to  innure 
disdain for your brother. Miracles always happen. We should avoid the bad  
iracles and hail the good ones. I will yield again until you share with us the  
colour of my shortcoming because that word you attributed to me of southside 
f  chicago is one error I effort not to make in all the volumes of my 
iterature.  It is an expensive and onerous error. Silence on it will not 
dvance 
ommunity  and conversations in graver matters. I therefore encourage you to be 
rand like  I always knew you to be.
Haruna,
I have to confess that you lost my interest when you  delved into "Chicago 
hitside" Chicago shitside?
ren't you just a tad bit  angry for a discussion that is supposed to help 
ou win friends and influence  people on behalf of the candidate you profess to 
upport?
fter reading  your last response, I had a hard time trying to discern 
hether yours was a  personal anger towards Barack Obama because he was of mixed 
race, attended  Harvard and was president of the Harvard Law Review, or was a 
ommunity  organizer in the South side of Chicago and failed to include all the 
hettos  in the United States in that effort and you think all of these are 
upposed to  be indictments against him or if your truly feel that the way to 
romote  Edwards was to drag his opponents in the gutter?
I guarantee you that  if you ran your response by any camp of the Edwards 
ampaign, they would have  asked you not to post it.
 have never seen John Edwards drag his opponents  reputation or record in 
he gutter because he is intelligent enough to know  that this is hardly a way 
o win votes and that people are sick and tired of  this sort of senseless 
irades.
ohn Edwards speaks about how in his youth,  he witnessed lawyers and judges 
n his native South Carolina

tand  up against racism during the civil rights era and how they risked 
heir lives  and had to be escorted to work by Federal Marshalls and yet, they  
ept  on. He speaks of the admiration he had for these people standing up 
gainst  racism. He would not wonder if people would vote for Obama because he 
s of 
mixed race.
Edwards may have sued insurance companies and won some  judgements against 
hem, but that has not resulted in any changes that prevent  insurance companies 
finding loopholes to pay out claims. Just ask the victims  of Katrina.
nd the case for which Edwards won the largest judgement was  for a family 
hose child got her hair or was it a limb caught in the drainage  system of a 
wimming pool.
What supporters of the various candidates  should concentrate on is to 
resent what their candidate can do for the people  when elected so they can 
onvince voters that they are the right person and  how they do t hat matters a 
reat 
eal.  Engaging in maligning the other  candidate as a strategy to win 
upporters never works and tends to be  symptomatic of some personal issue the 
hose 
ho engage in it may have.  Also,  when supporters engage in the latter, they 
ecome liabilities as  opposed to being assets.
ake it easy Haruna,  rage does not draw in  people, it makes them head in 
he opposite direction and it is bad for the  heart. It is the people who will 
ave the last word.
ow, I shall leave you  to it.
abou

ubject: Re:  John Edwards/  Haruna/Jabou.





"Haruna,"  Jabou.
Yes Ma'am, hope all's well. Good to hear you again.
"Too  long winded so I will be brief." Jabou.
I cannot for the life of me,  believe mine own ears. Jabou? Dis-ease for  
ong-windedness? As Rocco  Mediate is wont to quip of Tiger, If there ever 
ere a  
good time  to die, I'm red to go. Jabou, I'm extremely sorry for my long 
inds. 
  will have been remiss were I not to have been comprehensive with  your  
ueries of John Edwards. In addition, I intended to share other  value-added  
rocess for discernment.
I remmembered a good  friend of mine, Corporate attorney Charles McClure  
hared, "Haruna,  our job is to discourage our clients' customers from  
esiring 
etail  and comprehension without running roughshod to minimalist law.  My  
lients include Insurance Agencies and multi-national corporations". The  
nes  
ho 
eem to own just about everything Jabou. "And, when it  comes to any  
hallenge 
n courts of law, we encourage fellow  corporate attorneys and judges,  to 
eview the entire constitution,  ammendments, and precedent law". I knew the  
reat 
harles was  unto something. This is exactly the reason why John Edwards  
hooses  cases carefully for advocacy sakes. I enjoy your long winds from 
oroyaa   
Jabou. I know you were being sarcastic but it struck me  befuddled.
Now then.
"Just a few important points."  Jabou.
Yes. Let'r Rip!
"Edwards fought corporate America on  behalf of his clients as a  litigation 
ttorney."  Jabou.
Indeed. John Edwards challenged the parts of law that   Insurance and drug 
ompanies relied on to stifle claims for errors  and  omissions. Indeed. 
ndeed. 
ohn Edwards litigated profusely and  with all his  might, for his clients, 
he 
lliterate of law, the  powerless to challenge  wrongdoing, and in the 
rocess, 
e forced  clarifications of hitherto  un-interpreted law to yield precedent  
hat discouraged the culprit corporations  and other from taking  refuge in 
mbiguity. I am sorry Jabou. Sometimes you must  be  long-winded to yield 
alue 
ontext and comprehension. I am told long   directional winds can be 
arnessed 
or 
nergy.
"When he won on  behalf of those clients, he was paid very well for his  
fforts."  Jabou.
I would suppose so. Lawyers, like carpenters, doctors, masons,  engineers,  
nd dishwashers, must receive value for effort and  productivity. John  
dwards 
id not choose to litigate just any  infringement. The ones he chose to  
itigate have national and  constitutional dimensions. His remuneration came  
rom 
hatever  the judge determines is just penalty or compensation for victims  
nd  
heir advocate lawyer. The fees for lawyers are communicated to  their  
lients 
rior to representation. They are normally a  percentage of the  settlement 
r 
enalty for corporate wrongdoing.  Whether John Edwards  was paid very well 
r 
ot, is not terribly  significant to me. Whatever he was  paid, he invested 
eavily in his  foundations (the poverty center, One America,  The Ninth ward 
f 
ew  Orleans, Carolina's poor and dispossessed. All while his  wife Libby was 

nder doctor's care for terminal illness. Barak, like his  wife, is  an 
ccomplished lawyer. They chose to side with corporate  interests  that John 
dwards 
erves notice to. Comparative values my   dear.
"He did not offer his services gratis when he sued those  corporations."  
abou.
I should think not. Besides he has his  wife's medical bills to pay  and his 
hildren to raise. Further, were  he to have lost any of the cases, he  will 
ot 
ave been compensated  for his fees were reliant on his victory over  evil 
nd 
urisprudent  compensation therefrom. That is why John Edwards  represented 
he  indigent and those of lesser means than his fees would require.  He was  
onfident in the victory of good over evil, and he took enormous   risks of 
oss.
"Perhaps you can share with us the major changes that  came about as a  
esult 
f Edwards winning these lawsuits."  Jabou.
I'm sorry I must be long to do your query justice my  Jabou.
1. When we desire democracy, whose cardinal tenet is The rule  of   common 
aw, we desire that the common comprehends law that  contains the rights  and 
rivileges whose aversion by other should  trigger judicious challenge. In a  
ociety where there are some  (possibly one partner to that law), who are  
blivious 
o this  rule of law and democracy indigents harp on about. That is  where 
he  
eed for lawyers comes in. They are the bedrock of due-diligence and   
emocracy. John Edwards being a lawyer, intrinsically accrues value to  any  
ociety 
n which he practices.
2. Lawyers choose from  several areas of practice. Not all  lawyers choose 
ases for advocacy  for the indigent. John Edwards chose advocacy  law. He is 
aluable to  democracy and equal justice under the law.
3. When John Edwards wins  his cases, a precedent in law is  established so 
hat no matter which  of the contiguous United States including  Hawaii that 
re 
artner to  the constitution, may rely on such precedent. That  assists in  
iscouraging fraudulent practice by rogue corporations who seem  to  own just 
bout 
verything.
4. Jabou, you and I, though never  among John Edwards' direct clientele, are  
urrently benefitting from  John Edwards' legal victories. For the specific 
aws  and precedent,  I refer you to the public records of John Edwards' 
ases.
"Speaking of  votes that have had a major impact on American lives, I  would 
ay  none top that list more than the Iraq war." Jabou.
How do you mean??? I  beg to differ. I do agree that the senate of which  
ohn 
dwards was  a part, approved a military campaign to apprehend Saddam and  
ring  him to answer to charges of mass murder and belligerent foreboding. 
any   
raquis, Iranians, and Kuwaitis lost their lives and liberties at the  hand  
f 
addam. Perhaps I would agree with you that the campaign was  badly  
rosecuted. For which Edwards cannot be to blame. He saw fit  however, to  
pologise for 
hatever part he may have played in  the cantankerous  prosecution of a 
ampaign of conscience. A Solid  Human. I make no apologies for  John Edwards.
"and Edwards voted  for the war" Jabou.
John Edwards voted along with his coleagues to  approve a military  campaign 
n Iraq. Not for the Iraq war we now  witness. He is being magnanimous  in 
emorse of poor prosecution of  the campaign. I would like John Edwards to  
pprove 
 military  campaign against me in that manner. And I will not require  
pology  
f him.
"and it has impacted American lives as well altered   how America is  viewed 
y the World forever." Jabou.
Indeed.  Anything America does, impacts on the lives of Americans and  world  
itizens in a big way. That is why circumspect and due-diligence is   advised 
n 
rosecutions of campaigns.
"Haruna, your amazingly harsh  rhetoric against Obama is bordering on the  
swift boat"  strategy  of the last elections." Jabou.
I am not familiar with  the Swift Boat incident. I therefore do not  consider 
t in  demarches. I am sorry you regard our exchange here as harsh  rhetoric  
gainst Obama for on mine own part, I know no personal cause to   spurn at 
im, 
ut for the general. Besides, in my effort to solicit  support for  John 
dwards, it will be utterly foolhardy to offend  other, including Obama. You  
nd 
 
ust leave open, the prospect  of future collaboration between John  Edwards 
nd 
arack Obama. Here,  we engage in studious discernments and  recognition of 
omparative  values. I advice temperance toward John  Edwards.
"you don't want  the angry label being made against your candidate to be  
rue 
or his  supporters." Jabou.
Should the angry label be self-fulfilling against  John Edwards, We will  
nvent commensurate compassion and  understanding. We are children of 
od/Allah.  
Rabbil  Aalameen.
"Enough of negative campaigning already! Another reason why  Obama is a  
reath of fresh air?" Jabou.
Indeed Obama is a  breath of fresh air. John Edwards is  Freshivating.
"Have a good  weekend." Jabou.
Thank you my sister. As if Allah was aware of your  prayer. I made merry  and 
roduced value for other this weekend. I  pray for your glorious sustenance  
ll weekends. Thank you for the  prayer.
Your bestest brother, Haruna.

"Haruna,"   Jabou.

es Darling, how are you. I like the way you speak and  what  you say  
lways. 
ou have an immensely powerful voice  fertilized, as  our friend Karim is  
ont 
o drammatize, by  prolific study, acumen, and  measured tone. Any candidate  
ould  like to have your support. I'm not  giving up on Ousman either. I love 

im  
very much. Just don't get  any funny ideas  Ousman.
"I do not know  that what Edwards can  represent to  the American  people is 
ot the same as what Obama will."   Jabou.
I was under the same impressions too. Then I began a study  of  senators  who 
ater run for President in a revolutionarily  different  way that reviews  
arginal values. There is a wealth  of information  that when properly  
eviewed 
r 
eviewed  in the directions of  questions one might have when making  
arginal  
istinction assessments,  you will come away with a benign but   discerning 
onclusion. If you  review the matters/bills that Clinton,  Obama, and  
dwards 
ave  
ffered votes on in the  senate, (not the ones Obama and Clinton   
onveniently  
bsented themselves on for expediency sakes), you can  draw   important 
emographic information from their affect on Americans,   both in  quantity 
nd 
uality 
hat has brought me to the  conclusion  that Edwards is  a more valuable 
hange to  
more Americans than  either Obama or Clinton. I had  also  come to the 
onclusion that Obama  will be a more valuable change  to  immigrant 
mericans 
han 
ither  Edwards or Clinton, and  that Clinton is the  hungriest of them all 
o 
become President.  Take a look at how many bills Obama  and Clinton  absented 

hemselves from voting on and find out what those bills  are.   Then look at 
he 
ills 
ll three voted on and you will notice  that  Edwards  never absented himself 
rom voting on critical  and significant  matters as well  as those matters 
hat 
re  politically inexpedient to  vote on. A solid  human.Let us know how  
our 
eview looks  like.
"Also, I do not think that there is  any indication that Obama  beileves in  
eligion as other than a  moral compass."  Jabou.
Probably not and I did not qualify Obama's  belief in that realm. I  shared  
dwards' belief in the  realm.
bama had recognized the value  of religious congregations and  the almost  
omplete patronage of  evangelists by Republicans.  Given his political  
ndustriousness, he  embarked on a campaign  to wrest a slice of this section 
f  
ociety  
rom  Republicans and rightly so. I happen to believe that you neither    
ourt 
or discount the religious evangelist vote. You allow them to   choose  
ithout 
iving the facade of their participation as a  group in  governance and  
dministration of the state. An active  campaign to woo  them trends too  
losely 
o  
uid-pro-quo and if you do not deliver  their perceived quid, they  can  
everely 
align your administration.  Only a seasoned  governor and policy-maker  can 
recognize these subtle  flaws  in character. Because as you know, the  
vangelists 
are   active voters and they vote in order to skew public policy  in favour 
f  
their religion. They do not hide their intentions and motives.  It   takes a 
trong character to resist the temptation to  maligned  judgement.  When you 
sk 
bama, he frames his  responses this  way:
We have to show America that Democrats too care  about religion".  That  
tatement itself says a lot about his  dispensation. Jabou, I know  that you 
re a  
devout  muslim. Have you ever felt like you have to  show me and Suntou and   
alanding how much you care about Islam? If you  begin to run for  President, 
nd  
you then embark on an active  campaign  to show us how much you care about 
slam, 
hether that is good  or  not, would it not give me pause in distinctions? 
ur 
riend  Ousman shared  that Obama fought for the downtrodden in the south 
ide  
f  Chicago. I  will share more on this later but that southside  vote was 
hat 
ained   Obama the state seat against an  incumbent democrat, also African 
merican.  When  you delve  deeper into Obama's activities in South Chicago, 
ou  
ill come  to the  realisation that there are other communities in  Chicago  
hat 
ere down-trodden  for one reason or the other. But  Obama  chose these other 
own-trodden people of  South Chicago.  Edwards  running as senator in North 
arolina fought for the   down-trodden in  other areas of North Carolina, 
outh 
arolina,  Georgia,  Louisiana,  Tennessee, Massachussetts, Alabama, and  
alifornia. 
peak with  Jimmy  Carter and ask him to share  his views on Obama and 
dwards. He  
will tell you he   loves both of them but that Edwards is more  valuable to 
ll  
merica than Obama.  It is not because Edwards is white  and  more Americans 
re white that is why we  say this. It is because  of  the quality of his 
alues 
nd since African Americans   are  disproportionately disenfranchised in all 
tates, they received  the value  of  Edwards' efforts more than Whites. 
dwards  
oes not apologise for  that. When the  question arose in one of  the debates 
bout 
bama  being black and Clinton being a   woman, John Edwards responded, and 
n 
public, that whoever does not  vote for  Obama because he is black, or  
linton 
ecause she  is a woman, he, John Edwards  does NOT want your  vote. Now the  
ntrained eye will view this as political  suicide and  indeed  it costed 
dwards 
ome white support because they began    labelling him as an angry candidate. 
f 
ourse they cannot make  a  distinction  between anger and passion and half 
f 
hose  idiots belong  in an insane asylum  anyways, we just don't have a  
omprehensive mental  health intitution in the US  that is why  some of these 
etards 
ind  their way on talk shows and  radio  programs and TV interviews. Obama 
as a  
een eye on  the Presidency, has had even  before the "grassroots  
owntrodden  
dvocacy" in SOuth Shitown.
"As for being beholden to   corporate America, well, all American  presidents 
re somewhat  beholden  to corporate America, and the difference is  perhaps  
ust 
 matter of  degrees." Jabou.
Let us say you are  right in the immediate above. You are  therefore  
dmitting  
hat corporate America does command inordinate and  a formidable  power  to 
oerce American Presidents. The same will  therefore  be true of Evangelic  
merica. Now Edwards actually  challenged  the powers of corporate America in 

he 
court of law  and  won overwhelmingly. He therefore helped stem the cancer in 
 
orporate  America and enhanced the good in it for the prosperity of  
merica. 
n   
his campaign speeches when he ran with  Kerry and now, he has always  served  
otice that he is immune  to corporate control, no matter how  formidable 
hat 
ay   
be. And another thing. I think your  recognition that both  Edwards and Obama 
ill  represent refreshing  change in the  American Presidency gives you hope 
hat 
the  two will   be different from past American Presidents. We all therefore  
ake   solace in the idea of an Edwards or Obama Presidency. You  will 
owever 
agree with me that in America, Just being  President does not innoculate  the 

rdinary American from the  relentl;ess onslaught of Pharmaceutical  and  
ther  
orporate interests. We must therefore go further than just  the  Presidency  
f 
t 
s the refreshing change we are  really  interested in. It has come to light  
hat most of  Obama's advisors are  leftover Clinton advisors. You may  
emmember  
hen one of those  advisors disrespectfully tried  to malign the former 
resident  Bill  Clinton. And Obama shared  with us that the former Clinton 
dvisor was  
peaking of his past  relations with Bill Clinton and therefore he, Obama is  
ot   privy to that and cannot say anything on it. And the former  Clinton  
dvisor is  now an Obama advisor. Discernments. I also would   like our 
rother 
nd 
riend  Ousman to share with us one  tangible  value accrued from Obama's 
campaign for  down-trodden  votes in south  SHitown". It is evident that the 
nited  
teel  workers of America,  The united Mine Workers of the same  nation, The 
arpenters  Union, and  many more see more value in  John Edwards than Obama, 
linton, or   other. Is there a  national union of the un-employed of South 
hicago? We  
ay  be  presented with mirages of "grassroots campaign for votes" and   
grassroots  conscientious advocacy".
"Having said that,  Obama  has spoken out against the insurance companies  
ho 
re  at the top of  the food chain when it comes to corporate America  
ecause  
hey own  just about everything." Jabou.
Exactly  my point Jabou. First, you should  never speak against any   
orporate 
r individual interest because they  own just about  everything. That is  the 
rong impetus. Now John Edwards  did  not stop at speaking out against rogue  
orporate policies, he   challenged them in courts on the behalf of Americans 
nd   
overcame  their enormous powers. He is only a lawyer as was  Obama. Has Obama 

filed suit against any rogue corporate policy  on the behalf of the  common  
merican? Those insurance  companies he "spoke out against", has  he 
hallenged  
hem  
n a court of law on the merits or demerits of  his disdain of them?  Obama  
as head of the Harvard Law Review. If  Obama finds  himself in a situation 
here  
vote-counting can yield a   loss of his election to a Republican candidate, 
hat  do you think  will  happen? What do you think Obama will do?
"You are right, I  like both  Edwards and Obama, and I think that Edwards  is 
  
reat candidate, but  I do not think that he will win the  primaries."  Jabou.
I think you  are looking at the polls of  those who view Edwards as an  angry 

andidate. Look deeper and  follow the citizens of Iowa, New  Hampshire,  
outh  
arolina, and Nevada. We are talking about primaries aren't    we???? Check 
round your neck of the woods  around Cleveland   Tennessee,  Chattanooga, 
emphis, 
ashville, Jackson,  Milan,  etcetera. Let us know what you  find out.
"He is good  but America  sees him as having been part of the old   
stablishment even if only  because he ran before." Jabou.
I  know you're just being sarcastic here.  Who among all candidates,   
epublican or Democratic, has not been part  of the old  Establishment. Don't 
e  
swayed 
y cliches of these   lunatics who fell through the administrative cracks  
or 
ack of  enough  space at rehab.
"I think Obama on the other hand stands a  very good  chance of winning the  
rimaries and Americans are  angry enough at the  republicans so that none of 

heir  candidates stands a chance in the  national elections, no matter who  
hey  
re." Jabou.
Indeed  Jabou. I agree with you.  Obama does stand a very good chance of   
inning at least one of  the primaries if not all. As far as the anger  of  
mericans  
t Republicans, I presume you share that all the  democratic  candidates  
tand 
qual chances when pitted against a   Republican. We can all cherish that  
ut 
et us focus for now on  the  voting democrats for the democratic primaries.  
hat we are  trying to  discern is "EDwards, Obama, or Clinton, who 
epresents 
he  
most valuable  and desirable change for Democratic Americans".  After the  
rimaries,  we will change our effort by removing the  word democratic from 
ur   
uery.
"So a wonderful and  winning strategy for Democrats this time  would be an   
bama/Edwards ticket." Jabou.
That wouldn't be a  bad ticket  either. If that ends up being the ticket it  
ould be   formidable. It will be more formidable against the Republicans in  
ll   
f America if it turns out to be Edwards-Biden,  Edwards-Clinton,  
dwards-Obama,  or Edwards-Gore. What do  you  think????
"Together, they can restore the hopes of the people  and make  great  headway 
owards reversing  the damage that  the last 8 years  of a Bush  
dministration 
as done"  Jabou.
Anything is a  refreshing change from the last 8 years  of  cluelessness.
"Thanks  for providing the link to Ousman's  blog, I had not known of it  
efore.  As for Andrew Young  Ousman, he dances to the music of corporate 
merica    
and so he has to pay the piper so no surprises there. He has now made  a  
areer  
f leading the pillagers and plunderers into  Africa. Dr King is  no doubt 
urning  in his grave."  Jabou.
This is not fair. I have  contributed in forming a  comprehensive alliance  
gainst my person and  Edwards' person.  This is not fair Jabou and Ousman. 
he  
wo of you  simply  are too overwhelming even if I summon the entire essence 
f my   
very being. Please have mercy on me from here on in or pledge not  to  gang 
p 
gainst me and Edwards.
"Jabou" 
What  Friggin-ever.  You mean Jabou and Ousman, don't you?? Whew.  New    
ambians!!

ecause his  election  will represent much needed  change.
Would you consider that  the election  of John  Edwards will also represent   
hange?
The work  therefore  is in discerning between John  Edwards and Obama, who  
s  
he more  desirable  change!!!
Now, like you  about John Edwards, I like Obama a lot   because I think he is 
 
rilliant, popular, and his election will  give  hope to a lot  of Immigrant  
mericans.
John Edwards  not only   represents hope for more Americans than Obama, he 
as 
shown the  value  of the change that he may accrue us. I have not had   the  
pportunity to  witness a sampling of Obama's change  except  that he looks  
ifferent  
rom past  presidents.
John  Edwards' One America Foundation offers   some hope.
ohn Edwards'  rebuilding efforts in the Lower Ninth ward  offer  hope in 
hat 
America can be.
ohn Edwards fought  with Huge  corporate outfits on  the behalf of regular  
nd  
ommon Americans, and  John Edwards  and Obama are both  lawyers.
enator John Edwards of North  carolina will  get dirty  for you and with  
ou.
orth Carolina used to be  the  home  of Senator Jesse Helms.
ohn Edwards enjoys enormous peer  support   and the most endorsements from  
emocratic  governors of states  than  either Obama or Clinton.
ohn Edwards  is more electable across the  United  states than any  
andidate  
urrently seeking the  presidency, Republican   or Democrat. Check the stats.
ibby Edwards is  beautiful and is not  beholden  to corporate America. Mrs.  
bama  is beautiful  but may be beholden to  corporate America. She sits on 
he   
board of Walmart.
ohn Edwards  is handsome and is not given  to  religious distinctions nor  
oes 
e  believe  religion ought to  be mixed with governance. John Edwards   
elieves  
n Religion  as moral and ethical compass, not  administrative    compass.
Obama is good. John Edwards is  more valuable to all  America.  Edwards-Obama 

ay be  formidable. What do you think my  dear? Lemme  know, Lemme know!!  
ou 
now 
usman is an Obama-head!!!  Don't   you??

Haruna,
I both like and have  a  great deal of respect for  John  Edwards and his 
ife  
lizabeth  for many reasons, some of which  are mentioned   below.  However,  
 
m 
n Obama supporter   myself.  I also think Obama  has  a better chance  of  
eing  
lected because among other  things,   he  is seen as the "change"  candidate 
y 
  country that  desperately needs  change and Hillary ain't  it.   Infact,  
 
hink Hillary has turned into a  "snake oil sales  lady"   and she is 
verything to 
everyone in her zeal to be     president and I do not trust her at all and 
he 
est of the country   is   beginning to see through her. I think that 
dwards'  
est  
shot will be as  a V.P  for Obama.  I  think together they  would make an 
wesome   
eam.
ow,  now, don't get  too     upset.
