JUST TWO WEEKS TO ENDTIME, ARE YOU READY?

Icheoku asks if the Mayans are right and presumably, correctly predicted the end of the world as we know it - December 21st, 2012 to be precise, are you ready to meet with your maker? There is nothing wrong with preparing for a journey as you can always unpack if aborted. So it will be foolhardy to dismiss the Mayans as high on opium leaves when they made their prediction and thus, a tall tale. Therefore, until the Ides of March had come and gone, it is never over and anyone in doubt should advert him/herself to the fortunes of Julius Caesar who on hindsight only wished he knew better. Anyway the parable of the ten virgins teaches us to be prepared 24/7, likewise the motto of the Boys Scout which says "Be prepared." The expectation of the worst is the beginning of success; so it will not hurt if mankind prepares for its final Armageddon on the said date. However if the 21st comes and goes with the sun still hanging up there in the sky, then the Yuletide will morph into a double celebration - one for surviving the end-time and of course its original purpose, the birth of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. Happy holidays fellas.

THANK YOU AMERICA, BIGOTRY AND HATRED DAZED!

Icheoku says thank you America for once again trumping rabid racism and rising up to do what was right and so deservedly testimonial. Without mincing words or in any way guilty of equivocation, Icheoku reiterates that President Barack Obama did enough in his first four years in office to earn a second term and therefore rightly got the nod for a second term. Congratulations to the America people for once again getting it right. Icheoku does not ride the skin-color train in our support for BO, never did and would not in the future do. Icheoku makes bold to say that were President Obama a failure in his first term or the option provided Americans by Mitt Romney's candidature better, Icheoku would have ditched the president without any hesitation whatsoever. But the president did enough during his first term to deserve another tenancy at the White House and Mitt Romney was simply a politically over-damaged goods which offered no meaningful alternative. Icheoku and millions of other Americans agree that President Barack Hussein Obama merited his reelection and that his four more years renewed contract with America was well earned. Therefore Icheoku gives thumbs up to President Barack Hussein Obama for effectively and decisively defending his first term in office and based on his stellar records that were both far reaching and revolutionary. Well-done O'Bama!

Icheoku says but for the "White-boy" status which provided the wind in the sail of Mitt Romney without practically any more attribute, the Mormon bishop from liberal state of Massachusetts candidacy was simply DOA (dead on arrival). So many damaging factors were simply too insurmountable for the Mitt and stood like the rock of Gibraltar between him and the White House. First, neither him nor any of his six boys (sons) served in the United States military in any capacity and therefore was a no-show in national security credentials check-off. Second he was literally a persona non grata in the four states he calls or identifies as homes - Massachusetts where he was governor, Michigan where he was born and where his father George was once a governor, New Hampshire where he still has and maintains a living home, ditto California where he incorporated a car-lift in his palatial home. Mitt Romney neither ran nor maintained a good presence in any of these four states  and he was handsomely beat in all four of them too. Furthermore the Mormons of Nevada roundly rejected him as a true Mormon and sources have it that he was once ex-communicated from the overall "cultic Mormon?" These people who are supposed to know him better refused to vouch for him and Americans are still wondering out aloud who is Mitt Romney till this day? 

Then the same candidate Mitt Romney was demolished by Senator John McCain during the Republican Party primaries in 2008 before McCain himself was in turn destroyed by President Barack Obama and you wonder if he got what it takes to win the presidency, why did he lose to McCain then? Further Mitt Romney's Mormon religion did not help matters either as millions of evangelical Christians including American Pastor Bill Graham until very close to the election, had branded Mormon a cult. Then Mitt Romney forgot that there is a reason why records are kept and that despite erasing and destroying all his computer files when he served as Governor of Massachusetts, that some of those records survived in other places. Then followed the Republican Party's scorch-earth primaries where he was tagged a "vulture capitalist" and such other revelations about him surfaced and stuck. Does Icheoku need to add that Mitt Romney's mouth "runneth over" and that he was suffering from diarrhea of the mouth the campaign leading to so many unforgivable misspeaks. Principal among these infamous words that oozed out of his mouth was that he is an "acute conservative" who shows no mercy? Then came his infamous video where he was chastising poor Americans - the 47%, whom he accused of being "TAKERS." This 47% video proved an atom bomb for his presidential ambition. And then his boisterous 'I will repeal OBAMACARE the first day in office while cleverly maintaining a selective amnesia that his then "ROMNEYCARE" or "Romney I don't care" or "Romney, I regret my Care" was a precursor of OBAMACARE and that the same advisers worked on both legislation. His so many flip-flopping on issues became so rampant that Americans began wondering if indeed this man was who he pretends or presents himself to be. 

A big red flag was raised when he refused to release his tax records on his over $250 million net-worth/earnings with millions of Americans wondering what was he hiding? He also hid money in overseas offshore accounts both in Cayman Islands and Switzerland and you wonder what is wrong with American banks in his eyes and whether such an investor in foreign companies was patriotic enough to be an American president? Then factor in the companies he kept including Donald Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Sheldon Adelson etc. Icheoku queries which right thinking presidential candidate would accept a public endorsement from the straggly-haired billionaire Donald Trump when the issue of his being a too wealthy out of touch multi-millionaire with offshore bank accounts was seriously bogging his campaign? The same lack of judgment by Mitt Romney made him tie down his dog Seamus on a car roof for a 12 hour vacation journey. The same penchant for non-nuanced judgment made him declare that American auto industry should go bankrupt? Ditto FEMA, Planned Parenthood etc which he promised to de-fund. Then came his selection of wacko-doodle Paul Ryan as his running mate and you wonder what the joker was in that decision; needless to say that his campaign never fully recovered following that uninformed and reckless pick of such an anti-people candidate. That Mitt Romney endorsed candidates who wanted to "legitimize" rape in America and refused to renounce or denounce them told so much story about where his Mormon heart truly was - that he too is an anti women candidate? 

This is a guy who was questioning why airplanes windows does not open and you wonder if he has mush for brains not to know the ramification or why airplanes have compressed air? Yet despite such guffaw, no one including Donald Trump, demanded to see his college transcripts? The rest they say is now history as the candidate who self-inflicted extensive injuries to himself failed to recover from the damage and his injuries followed him into and through the election and is likely to provide him company for the rest of his life. Icheoku says that Mitt Romney's candidacy has been irreparably damaged and the only option starring him in the face now is to retire and quit from active partisan politics for good. The educated and more civilized Americans chose wisely and rejected a fluke, a fake and a phony; who did not win any state as a matter of factily speaking but got only those states which naturally votes red and where people voted against Obama? Icheoku is emphatic that those red states did not vote for Romney; they only voted against "THAT ONE" who is occupying "their" White House and wanted him out by all and any means necessary. They do not like Mitt Romney either but were prepared to live with his presidency because his skin color is in sync with their idea of an American president but not otherwise as it appertains to Obama.

Mitt Romney's defeat had company as added to the also-defeated column, include the Republican Party as a brand; which has now morphed into a fully wacko anti non-white peoples party. A Republican Party which has been hijacked by Rush Limbaugh and his Tea Party hound dogs and is being asphyxiated by their far right extremist non compromising viewpoints. To say that these rabid hyenas have driven away all manners of moderation and reasonableness in the Republican party sounds cliched. Then came the shattering of the myth of Karl Rove with all the senate seats he went for lost and millions of Super Pac (GPS) money gambled away without any return on the investment. The Michelin tire-man Rush Limbaugh, whose toxic radio talk-show apparently has no influence, admitted he is delusional to the contrary, failed woefully trying to coral votes for the Mitt Romney. Icheoku somewhat believes that he is partly instrumental to Mitt Romney's loss as people associated the Mitt to this blow-hot talking robot. Needless to say that all past candidates Rush Limbaugh ever threw his support for lost their previous elections too including party primaries. Icheoku says it is about time the Republican Party unshackles itself from Rush Limbaugh's vice hold and fire him from being their "titular head if they want to reinvent themselves and become once more viable?" 

This election was also a defeat for angry old white American males who are stuck in the fifties America and who refuse to acknowledge that dynamism as an English word could still be found in the lexicon. Apparently America has since moved on and without them or rather left them behind and these people populate the heartland all the way to the deep dirty south. Icheoku says needless to add that in these Republican red states are found ten of America's poorest, stupidest, dumbest, least developed, least educated states and provide home to hillbillies and hicks of America, who are so far away removed from civilization with some of them still holding out on mountains and in caves in West Virginia and Kentucky like the Taliban of Afghanistan? So now tell Icheoku how a hillbilly holed up in the Appalachian mountains of West Virgin would know that in today's America, a Lesbian could and was elected a senator from the state of Wisconsin or that Whites are fast becoming a minority population in America? 

Also defeated and now captive of the election is the red pig Donald Trump, who is now seeing red and screaming blue murder that despite all his racist pranks and crown as birther-in-chief, that "THAT ONE" was chosen over his bigotry and hatred and emerged victorious in the election. So also is the cross-dressing and philandering former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani whose uninformed Benghazi pontifications left much to be desired. Boy, what a concoction these people must have suffered as a result of the election and their heads now whirling out off sync like a Kansas tornado? Icheoku must also mention these haters supreme pontiff generalissimo,  Senator Mitch McConnell, who was denied his wish to ensure that Obama was a one term president. Lets hope that he can now work with the president to get America's business going, now that his previously only obstructive reason - to deny the president a second term, has apparently by reason of the election become mute. Senator John McCain half-heartily supported Mitt Romney's campaign and therefore was technically defeated twice - one in 2008 and now; admitted that privately, he most likely cherished the fact of Mitt's defeat as it will tell so badly of him if the guy he defeated in 2008 Republican Primaries in turn defeated the guy who defeated him then in the presidential election.

So much for these losers, now enter other co-winners of Obama 2012 election victory:- Reclaiming the seat of late Senator Ted Kennedy by Elizabeth Warren was one such victory. Women retaining and securing their right to their body by defeating the Republican attempt to "legitimize" rape and force victims to carry such rape babies to fruition was another victory. Admitted that over three thousand abortions are performed in America each day; but hey it is their body and nothing could be worse than bringing an unwanted child to this world. So faced with the two imperatives, provided the uterus is flushed out at the early stages of gestation, Icheoku ascribes to the former rather than adding to the population problem by bringing forth another human to this world without any love. The election of the first Lesbian senator from Wisconsin, who defeated a former governor and former secretary of health in the process, was another victory. The American people defeating their Supreme Court's ill-informed decision in  Citizens United by rebuffing Sheldon Adelson of Sands Casino and the Koch brothers attempt to purchase this election through Karl Rove's GPS was also a victory. Both the decision and these gamblers were given a black-eye after they could not win even a seat nor unseat the president with over 100million down the drain in their failed attempt. The victory was also a thump over all those naysayers who had written off the president as unelectable the second time around,  including many democrats who distanced themselves from him with some of them refusing to be seen, identified with him or even attend the Democratic Party convention in Charlotte just not be, in their words, "stigmatized" by him? Now who laughs loudest? 

This election 2012 analysis would not be complete without specifically thanking certain people that played pivotal role in the success of Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Above all is God Almighty who decreed President Obama's reelection long before the ballots were cast. That Hurricane Sandy happened exactly when it did was not just a natural occurring coincidence, if you get Icheoku's drift. Like the economic crisis that sank Senator John McCain's 2008 quest for the White House, Hurricane Sandy intervened to stop the madness that was to be a Mitt Romney's nearly inevitable presidency as the On High knows what is best for her children and Mitt Romney's presidency was not one of them. Icheoku is convinced that if it would have taken turning President Barack Obama into a "white man" to enable him win a second term, God would have done so; but HE figured out that the hurricane would simply achieve the objective and so did not "Michael Jackson" the President to make his skin more acceptable to these skin-color voters. 

Icheoku is grateful to the American people for rejecting fantastical Mitt Romney and for sticking with what is real with their reelection of the president. Icheoku also appreciates President Bill Clinton for "giving up his voice in the service of his president." His effort as "Secretary of explaining stuff" paid off abundantly, especially among those baby-boomer white men in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida and for this his legacy endures. Hopefully Hillary Clinton will be elected in 2016 as the first American female president to take over the country when President Barack Hussein Obama second term ends. Icheoku says it will be hers to take then as the new coalition of real Americans including women, blacks, Latinos, Asians, young people and some reasonable white males have proved themselves as the winning team and will gladly throw their support to her, so why not? Icheoku's gratitude also goes to the Carter guy, President Jimmy Carter's grandson, James Carter IV, for that 47% video wherein Mitt Romney truly disclosed his disdain for almost half of American citizens. 

The candidate himself, President Obama, did not disappoint in the effort to reelect him as he quickly recovered from the first debate and was on fire throughout the campaign cycle culminating to his glorious reelection. His vice president Joey Biden is equally acknowledged for fighting vigorously in the reelection campaign, particularly for his "malarkey" and demolition of that extremist fundamentalist Paul Ryan during their one and only debate. A stellar debate performance which sounded a death kernel for the dreadful Paul Ryan's ambition, a man who for most part, reminds Icheoku of Julius Caesar's Cassius the conspirator. Then added the Hollywood and music greats led by George Clooney, Madonna, Springsteen, Jay-Z, Kate Perry, Tyler Perry for their tireless believe in the president. Two Republicans, Colin Powell is acknowledged for bravely standing up and taking a firm stand that Mitt Romney is not a viable alternative to the president and New York Mayor Bloomberg for his endorsement of the president. Oprah Winfrey was a no-show this time for most part - may be the rumored cat-fight between her and First Lady Michelle appears to hold some credibility? Team reelect President Barack Hussein Obama 2012 led by Jim Messina and the two Davids - Axelrod and Plouffe, and their support staff, are now the new go-to-men as far as electioneering politics is concerned in America; so move over Karl Rove Inc. Icheoku says these political strategists and tacticians are magicians for lack of any other better word to explain what they were able to pull off in this 2012 reelection of the president, despite the near-impossible and improbable circumstances they found themselves, especially with an economy that has defied almost every solution thrown in the midst. To these people Icheoku says thank you, thank you and thank you.

Icheoku admonishes the Denise Helms of Turlock California and all other racist Americans entertaining or sharing the thought that "may be President Obama will be assassinated this term" or who "wouldn't mind a bit if someone assassinated Obama," to please sheath their swords as they lick their wounds of last November 6th shellacking. However, Icheoku warns that in the event their evil wish or desire or plot ever comes to pass, America will burn and possibly shake to its foundations. Fortunately enough though, these racist purveyors of hate and mongers of bigotry in America, like the whoring daughter of Eve, Denise Helms, are in the minority as the majority who elected President Barack Hussein Obama last November, continue to pray and wish him well and no weapon fashioned by the anarchists would prosper where the God's anointed one is. These animals forgot that no one ever gets into power except it was ordained by God and while they pretend to read the bible, they simply forgot the story of David. Anyway, Icheoku calls on Denise Helms to go jump off. 

Unbeknownst to these maga-dogs, America has a new majority - the coalition of the real Americans, made up of 40% white people, 66% women, 99% black people, 76% Asian people, 89% Native Americans and 71% Latinos who called the bluff of those racist angry white people and told them to shove it by reelecting President Barack Obama for a second term. It is called democracy and the majority rules, period. Their only option now is to recognize the changed demography of America and be more accommodating of other skin colors in this nation of immigrants, irrespective of when any one's ancestors joined the Union or made it to the shores either through Mayflower from Europe, dinghy off Florida Keys from the Caribbeans and South America, as a stow in a shipping containers across the Pacific from Asia or as forced slaves in chains and shackles from Africa or across the desert boarders of Arizona and other southwestern states from Latin America as well as our northern boarder of Canada. Alternatively, let every body self-deport back to wherever they came from starting with the first people to breach the boarders back to Europe as no Indian ever gave those pilgrims visas or immigration papers to come here. But until then, we all must learn to live with each other and tolerate one another as one indivisible and equal American, driven with just one purpose in mind - to make our lives better and according to one aphorism, that which hungers a pregnant woman also hungers the man who impregnated her. 

No one came to America because he or she hates America, hence the need for sensible immigration reform to make those living under the shadow's lives more livable. Icheoku says it is rather very arrogant for some of these white people to think that just because their forebears first sailed to this shores on a ship, that excused the illegality of their violating Native Americans territorial space or makes them superior to those who later trekked through the southern deserts of Arizona to reach this shores or who cramped in a dingy and risked their lives on the south Atlantic waters to get here. Instead let us all join the president in recommitting ourselves to the American ideals of a land welcoming of immigrants; that there is no blue or red states of America but one United States of America. That we either swim together or we drown together and in unison declare that the process moves forward towards making America a better place and towards perfecting our union, In the president's own words, "The task of perfecting our union moves forward" and Icheoku concurs. Overall, the $6 billion total cost of this election 2012  was money well spent as it purchased a FORWARD looking America where progressive thoughts and ideas would rule supreme. Moreso it was money infused in the economy as the services provided were not outsourced; except that some of those Mitt Romney's posters, flyers and t-shirts probably were printed and manufactured in one of his plants in China or what do you expect from an out-sourcer in chief? Anyway, congratulations President Barack Hussein Obama on your reelection and may the Almighty continue to guide your every step during the next four years IJN, Amen.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FELLAS, SEE YOU IN 2013.

Icheoku is still in the euphoria that was November 6th, hence we have not collected ourselves enough into doing any meaningful piece before the year's end. Therefore we are going to end the year with this beautiful cartoon of President Barack Hussein Obama; truly restating positions that are or should have already been clear by now but for the benefit of those head-stuck-in-the-sand right wing Republicans and conservatives alike, who are strung out on a different narrative. 

The first time in 2008, they complained that it was because he was not truly defined and made known to Americans as the reason why he "sneaked" into "their" White House; now in 2012, would somebody or any of these humans please tell Icheoku what magic voodoo that ensured his second term? Anyway, those who want to sing will always find a song and for the others, sorry; as for Icheoku, we already have found a song and it goes thus "lets go dancing, lets go dancing, oh laa laa. Happy holidays visitors and friends alike. Thank you for keeping the fate with us this year and our pledge to you in the new year is that it is going to be much better. Salute.

MEDIOCRITY IS KILLING NIGERIA - CHINUA ACHEBE

"What has consistently escaped most Nigerians in this entire travesty is the fact that mediocrity destroys the very fabric of a country as surely as a war – ushering in all sorts of banality, ineptitude, corruption and debauchery. Nations enshrine mediocrity as their modus operandi, and create the fertile ground for the rise of tyrants and other base elements of the society, by silently assenting to the dismantling of systems of excellence because they do not immediately benefit one specific ethnic, racial, political, or special-interest group. That, in my humble opinion, is precisely where Nigeria finds itself today." - Professor Chinua Achebe, an excerpt from his latest literary work "THERE WAS A COUNTRY." 

Icheoku agrees and says, just the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! Anyone who does not like to hear the truth about the real and true situation on the ground in Nigeria should just jump off the bridge or like Zimbabwe's strongman Robert Mugabe would put it, go hang. Icheoku says thank you Prof for courageously walking tall where others failed to venture and in any other event tremble and quiver like jelly.

WOMEN, FINALLY FIGURED OUT?

Before you raise that stone to haul at a chauvinist pig, who refuses to understand or figure out what it is that women wants, wait a minute, I didn't build that? My bad. I mean I didn't illustrate that; Icheoku is merely a vehicle to convey it to a wider audience including you. It was culled from a Facebook page of a dear friend and being well on point, our decision to republish it. If you are a feminist and feels that the author got the facts screwed up, please kindly tell the world of men what women really want. Or rather tell us what you as a woman wants and repeat same listing after 24hours. But hell no, it is either men ought or should know it or they should try and figure it out; hence the turpsy-turvy that is a life shared by the two opposite sex with each pulling from different sides. It is man-o-war TUG OF WAR for crying out loud, period.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY JUST DELIVERED.

Icheoku says among all the things we are grateful for this year 2012, we are grateful that Mitt Romney did not get into the White House. We are grateful for the plentiful the On High blessed us with this year - in health, ways and means. We are grateful for the opportunity to help as many people as we helped this year and pray that 2013 would afford us additional leverage and leeway to be more generous both with our time and resources. We are grateful for our family and for you, our friends. For those of you who are closer, just know that you are a very special breed of humans as we are rather very picky in adding to that few select clique. We love you all and hope 2012 has been a joyful ride for you too.

Thanksgiving has become a tradition for us of sort over the many years of our sojourn in the land of Uncle Sam; as a day to be really thankful for what the year ending has brought forth and like Oliver Twist, we also always ask for some more in the forthcoming year. We religiously observe this tradition each year, having been lucky to make it through to this day since many have gone and were unable to share in this opportunity. So friends, be thankful for what you've got - all the things you were blessed with this 2012 and please join us chorus Amen to the prayer that it can only get better in 2013.  

FYI:- As for the "torotoro", it is a sixteen pounder, premium, naturally range grown; from Diestel Family ranch in the hills of Sonora, California. It is not your ordinary industrial raised but it is affordable. Salute!

OBAMA BRIBED VOTERS - MITT ROMNEY?

Exhibiting the trappings of a spoilt brat who cannot and would not take personal responsibility for his own shortcomings in the last election, Mitt Romney once again passed the buck on where or who to blame for his abysmal performance in the election.  The Mormon bishop from the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Michigan, Utah and California claimed that President Barack Obama promised women, minorities including Hispanics as well as youngsters of America "STUFF" aka bribery as a quid pro quo for their votes; and because of this, these very important voting blocs deserted his own campaign and voted for "THAT ONE." 

Icheoku says give me a break Mitt as your own foibles including refusal to come clean with the American people on whether or not you paid your taxes as well as other anti-peoples' policies espoused by your campaign did you in. You chose gaunt-looking Paul Ryan for your veepee and his anti-socials credentials spoke volume and alienated so many Americans' voting blocs. Two of your close Republicans spoke about "legitimate rape" and "God intending a resulting rape baby who must therefore be kept by such a victim woman' and you failed to denounce or disavow them? May be another of Obama's bribes, right? When you said you will kill Big Bird was that another Obama's bribe? When you talked negatively about students loans and Pell grant, was was another Obama's bribe to young people? When you drummed up war against Iran was that part of the Obama bribery? When you said FEMA and Planned Parenthood will  be killed, was that the Obama's bribery you alluede to? At least you remembered those things you sais you were going to  kill unlike your primary challenger Rick Perry of Texas, who called you a "vulture capitalist" but otherwise couldn't remember the departments he want closed as president of the United States? 

Icheoku says this your latest insult on American voters who decisively and intelligently voted for President Barack Obama is akin to your derisive and dismissive 47% 'takers' comment. Anyway you are no longer a stranger to American voters who rejected you in the last election based on the nothingness and emptiness of your campaign, so they understand that Mitt Romney does not care about American people. They understand that Mitt Romney is simply an out of touch multi-millionaire who palls around with his fellow millionaires and "takes" campaign financing (bribes) from his billionaire friends. Icheoku denounces this Mitt Romney who sees majority of Americans working men, women and children as either "takers" and/or now as "bribe receivers?" It is indeed quite unfortunate the new low into which Mitt Romney have descended since his ass-whopping in the last election and which is increasingly tasking his mental stability, such comments taken into advisement. 

Mitt Romney's latest toxicity led a columnist to posit:-  "Obama didn't win Janesville, Iowa or New Hampshire because of gifts to minorities. Those places are overwhelmingly white. Indeed,  Obama didn't somehow buy votes by showering Americans with free stuff. He convinced people he actually cared about the problems they were dealing with, which is something that Romney never seemed to be able to do."  Mitt Romney, Icheoku agrees with this conclusion  that therein lay your tomb and into which you have jumped in and in perpetuity. You failed miserably and woefully to convince American people that you had a mission other than being a puppet for the billionaire American raiders who wanted to loot the treasury with you looking the other way. Fortunately the God we serve was wide awake and took you out of contention before you could cause irreparable damage. Mitt Romney, what a phony and a fluke who is still dazed and did not know what hit him last November 6. 

SUSAN RICE, VINDICATED?

Icheoku says available records seems to exonerate the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Dr Susan Rice, that she did not cook the story when she told the world that the Benghazi Libyan attack wherein armed militants stormed United States embassy in Benghazi and killed our ambassador alongside four other Americans was initially thought to be a protest gone awry. According to recently released unclassified CIA memo on the security assessment of the attack, it was believed then that protest as opposed to terrorist action led to the incident. 

The released memo states as follows:- "The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the United States Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against United States diplomatic posts in Benghazi and subsequently its annex. There are indications that extremists participated in the violent demonstrations. This assessment may change as additional information is collected and analyzed and as currently available information continues to be evaluated. The investigation is ongoing, and the United States government is working with Libyan authorities to bring justice to those responsible for the death of United States citizens." Icheoku says may be the old angry Senator John McCain and his South Carolina dancing partner Lindsay Graham should apologize to the ambassador for "besmirching her name." Failure for both men to do so by taking the high road would only reinforce the thinking that both of these "good ole white men" are doing what they are doing simply because the ambassador does not have the "right" skin color; and that they cannot stand the "unsightly" sight of having a "NIGGER" occupying "their" White House in addition to another "NIGGERLESS" as their Secretary of States? 

Icheoku says these racist white men must read the handwriting on the wall as evidenced in the last November 6 election and know that it is no longer 1950 America. Things have changed. Imagine the arrogance of the trigger-tempered John McCain, who cleaned the floor in his Navy class and had struggled through the Navy until he was shot down in Vietnam and who has never truly recovered from being an under-achieving son and grandson of two other McCains, both Rear Admirals, now suggesting that a Rhode Scholar, a PhD who was top of her class in Stanford University is "unqualified, not bright and not brilliant" for any other higher posting? This is coming from a man who chose the Alaskan beauty and no brain Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate and you wonder whether dumb and dumber is his idea of brilliance? Icheoku says thankfully the whole world is now beginning to see the phony White Americans' mentality and the reason why last presidential election was more of resentment than any other thing including immigration. Unfortunately, this Senator 'bomb, bomb Iran" John McCain is still reeling from his defeat by President Obama in 2008 and could still not explain to his White American folks why he lost "their" White House to the "THAT ONE" NIGGER.  Pitiful, pitiful; it is indeed pitiful of Senator John McCain to call a PhD Rhodes scholar "not bright?".

REAL FEAR, ONE REASON WHY ROMNEY LOST.

Icheoku says people were genuinely scared and afraid of what a Romney presidency would do to them and what it portends for ordinary folks in America and as a result, they went into offense proactively with their votes to make sure it never happened. It was a case of the proverbial offense being the best defense and it worked so well that Mitt Romney did not know what hit him on election night last Tuesday. There was palpable fear in the land among minorities, women, Hispanics, the poor, the elderly, the infirm as well as some segment of the white population that Mitt Romney was coming after them with a pitch fork and sledge hammer, and would spare none of them from serious pain and much suffering. Mitt Romney was seen as the Grinch that stole their Christmas even before Christmas got here and no one wants to be left holding the bag at Christmas. And for those angry White men who are saying that Obama voters wanted stuff, Icheoku says no one wanted and still wants stuff more than these human excrement - from wanting and taking free Native American's land, to 400 years of wanting and taking free slave labors, to their skewered unfair tax advantaged deductions, to hiring cheap labor and paying people stipends they can hardly live on, to commandeering America's wealth only for themselves and the list goes on ad infinitum. Lets hope that the revolution of last Tuesday will only remain as it is, a mere ballot revolution; as people feel shafted everyday by this section of Americans. Now who is it that really want stuff America? One of them recently told me that it is about lifestyle, as they do not want to compromise what they are used to by not having enough money to sustain it through equitable taxation. To this guy, who admittedly makes high six figures and his ilks, Icheoku says, what about the millions of other Americans who cannot afford a hot meal?

Only a tree gets notice of its impending felling and still stands where it would be found and cut down. Reasonable humans make a run for it to spare their lives and so did the new America majority, the coalition of true representatives of America, who decided to nip the Romney "killing machine" in the bud. This is one reason people ecstatically celebrated President Obama's triumph at the polls as it ensured the Mitt anguish is further deferred if not completely starved off; as it is more likely than not that the Mitt is done and will never entertain the thought of running for the presidency of America, having been irreparably damaged in this campaign. 

The fear of what the oppressive angry white males of America, who have been seething in pain these past four years that a "NIGGER" was occupying "their" White house, would have unleashed on the oppressed people of color, women and children of America was simply too haranguing that people sprang to action and  stop it cold. American people knew better as they understood that a man who was so heartless as to tie his pet-dog on the roof of his car for a twelve hour vacation road trip to Canada, who voiced out that he does not care about 47% of Americans, that he will deny people with pre-existing conditions insurance by cancelling OBAMACARE, that there is a case to be made about "legitimate rape" or that "rape babies are gift from God" by proxy of his support of the chief proponents, that FEMA has no relevance, that more money should be spent on the military instead of on education, that Planned Parenthood should be outlawed, that conditions should be made so unbearable for Hispanics that they self-deport, that Medicare and Social Security should be voucher(alized), that Pell Grant should be abolished, whose actions and utterances forced even a five year old boy in California to tell his teacher, that "although his dad is voting for Romney, he and his mom and his four year old younger brother are voting for Obama in part to save 'Big Bird;" cannot and would not get their backs. It was a case of "we have no inheritance or protection in a Romney presidency, so to Obama we go" and they went.

Now please tell Icheoku if you are part of the millions of Americans any of these inhumane policies would have impacted negatively that you would stay on the sidelines while this man sneaked into office? A matter made worse when Mitt Romney confessed to being a heartless acute and severe conservative and to drive this message further home and to show he was not joking, picked an anti-peoples' poster boy Paul Ryan as his running mate? Two anti-Christ be your brother's keeper injunction candidates, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, running on one ticket gave no one hope or reason to vote for them? Indeed people were scared-stiff and genuinely afrid of the impending knifing to their underbellies that they voted to reject and stop the source of this enveloping fear. When added to his storied take no prisoner cut throat business ethics at Bain Capital and it became everybody run to the hills America. Icheoku says Team Obama read the feeling in the country right and tailored their messaging that Mitt Romney is not to be trusted. As is always the case, people need protection from what they fear and they saw a President Obama as their buffer wall and that friends, was what won the election for President Obama for most part; and who as president and commander in chief must work to protect Americans from Mitt Romney and his vile policies. Thankfully common sense reasonable approach won and Icheoku prays that Americans shall in the next four years and in the President's word, see better days. 

DONALD TRUMP CROSSES OVER TO CUCKOO LAND?

Donald Trump has gone from being an ignoble birther in chief to college transcript enforcer and now is taking potshots at anyone who dares to cross his path or try pointing him out of the woods in which he seemingly is lost and wandering in currently. This overripe tomato of a pig, Donald Trump, without first caring to know whether his infamous endorsement of Mitt Romney contributed in the abysmal defeat of last Tuesday because it added to the stereotype of Mitt  being an out of touch millionaire who doesn't care about ordinary folks, is seeing red and apparently losing his mind about the election result. Icheoku warns that if the Donald does not immediately get the psychotic help he honestly needs at this time, may be the next America hears of him, he would be an inmate at a mental hospital being treated for misfiring neurons. 

Donald Trump's apparent mental breakdown has gotten so worse that NBC news anchorman Brian Williams took notice and was forced to observe last Tuesday night that "“Donald Trump, who has driven well past the last exit to relevance and peered into something closer to irresponsible here, is tweeting tonight.” 

Icheoku retorts that passing the last exit of relevance is a lesser evil and would be far more acceptable outcome as the red pig may have already walked off the reservation of sane people enroute to a lunatic asylum. Icheoku wonders the kind of racist hatred that is driving this cockroach to such an end that he will so hate someone who did nothing to him just because he is BLACK and occupying "their" White House. Icheoku adds, election matters Donald Trump and if it were easy, you would not have dropped out of your intended Republican primaries  run when you did and your minion Mitt Romney would not have been so trounced last Tuesday. However, icheoku wants you to throw more fits of anger as that makes you more imbecilic, idiotic and pedantic; and like McDonald's ad, Icheoku is lovin it - your pain at seeing "your" White House still being occupied by a "NIGGER" and his "NIGGERED" family. Go jump Donald and the nation will not shed a tear for your sorry ass. What a scumbag racist straggly haired guinea pig this Donald Trump is.

HE'S ONLY HUMAN, A GRATEFUL PRESIDENT GETS EMOTIONAL

Icheoku says those of us who are indeed deeply truly appreciative of people and their goodwill gestures towards us, understand that eye-fluids quickly rushes out in appreciation, whenever someone does something that touches our inner being in some particular special way. So it is easy to relate or trade places with President Barack Hussein Obama tearing up while thanking the miracle-workers that was his campaign team. They made what we are celebrating today possible - they delivered to "THAT ONE" four more years tenancy in the White House against all odds, especially against crass racism that still pervades today's America and which provides fodder for his haters till this day. BO, Icheoku tears up with you and congratulations for REALLY now, convincingly winning a presidential election and for a second term. Admitted you defeated Senator McCain handily in 2008 but they did not see it so as according to sources, they were not expecting you to even secure the nomination hence their lack of preparation to stop you then; unlike this time around when they moved their "earth and heaven" to get you out of "their" White House but still failed woefully. What a deserved dish you served them with your triumph over their idea of a "perfect candidate?" Your victory means so much to so many and Icheoku celebrates it among many other reasons, particularly as no one knows when again we shall be blessed with a soothing sight in the White House of a black couple not doing the chores therein but living there rightly as occupants in chief. Anyway, Icheoku intend to enjoy it while it lasts and like McDonald's ad, Icheoku is lovin it. Congratulations Commander in Chief.

THIS TUESDAY VOTE, VOTE FOR OBAMA.

Madonna said that she 'does not care about who you vote for as long as you vote for President Obama.' President Bill Clinton said “I gave my voice in the service of my president” and he wants you to vote your interest by voting for President Obama. Icheoku asks what would you give in service of your president? At least, YOUR VOTE. Mitt Romney is not a desirable alternative, hence we should stick with a tested and tried compassionate man who is for both the 99% as well as the 47% Americans. This Tuesday November 6, vote sensibly, vote Obama; vote FORWARD, vote Obama.

THE DAY AFTER NOVEMBER 6, IF?

Icheoku says what the campaign of President Obama is going through is a mirrored reflection of the still very much white-tilted American racist society, which judges people disparately based on the color of their skin. As always white people still gets advantageous pass for what their typical black counterparts would be made to pay heavily for. In our American society, what is good for the (white) goose is usually not always good for the (black) gander. In our America society, the warped understanding of the white people is that black people are supposedly destined to serve them (tea) but not otherwise; or in any other event be their boss or try to tell them what to do. It is a society where the worst white hick is usually preferred as better than the best of the best a black person. Icheoku has severally experienced this sociological disequilibrium and the story is mostly true and not different across the board of virtually every black person or person of color living in America; who at one time or another was passed over or asked to train his white replacement or asked to make way for his white junior to take over from him or her? Yes you heard and read Icheoku right and such discriminatory practices continues till this day in the closeted America which the rest of the world do not get to see. Therefore many black people and other minorities of America understand the true underlying reason President Barack Obama is getting all the resistance he is getting in office, including in his reelection campaign, which is not getting the full  follower-ship steam it rightly deserves. It is a racist American society which is rabid that a "NIGGER" is occupying their White House and wants to get rid of him in order to get "their" White House back and at all cost. 

To these people, provided the "NIGGER" is "evicted" from their White House, it does not matter if the white replacement that goes into occupation thereafter is as mean, uncaring, clueless, untrustworthy and out of touch as Mitt Romney. During this political campaign circle, Icheoku has witnessed this "white Mitt Romney can do no wrong" attitude in America political discuss with the less intrusive inquiry into Mitt Romney's religious beliefs. There was no concerted or forensic examination of Mitt Romney's Mormon religion affiliation by main stream American media; unlike the barrage of criticism and "anal probe" carried out on then candidate Obama and which still continues till today within American political discuss. Till this day, talking-heads Americans still question whether President Obama is a Muslim, a secret agent of the Islamic world here to destroy America, who stayed in Pastor Jeremiah's church for twenty years and wonder if indeed the president really goes to church or truly worships. But now Mitt Romney, a Mormon, whose religion has always been held out as a CULT, is freely running the range without even the media shouting a question across to him on his MORMON faith. No one is asking to know what type of doctrine the Mormons espouses or whether Mitt Romney's Mormon believes will impact his presidency or influence his decisions if elected? No, not any one of these journalists or pundits is seeking to know what Mitt Romney's religion truly is all about and whether their beliefs is good for America. Even the "America pastor" so called, Bill Graham, recently took down a page in his church's website where he previously denounced Mormon as a cult and you wonder what other explanation for this herded support for Mitt Romney is other than their anti-Obama sentiment fulled by race. 

Even the last Mitt Romney foreign policy burnish(ment) overseas trip which was literally botched by the candidates mediocre performance hardly sustained any traction within the American media. Needless to mention the negative-undertone of the media during the very successful then candidate Barack Obama similar overseas trip. Icheoku understands and so are millions of other honest Americans who know that race is a huge factor driving the narratives of this two candidates. Further, if Mitt Romney is such a good "economist" who will magically turn America's economy around and overnight, which is probably the only other factor driving his campaign being a former businessman, Icheoku queries, why didn't Mitt Romney foresee that the bailout of the auto industry was a good, humane and profitable thing to do and that the investment would eventually pay off as it has now? Political economics is and should not be a Monday night quarterbacking so Icheoku is emphatic that Mitt Romney should be made to pay a price for abandoning the millions of American families who are dependent on the auto industry when he callously asked that the industry go bankrupt. Icheoku really does not buy into the hype of "economic genus" nonsense that is being ascribed to Mitt Romney and as person who has personally run a business before, Icheoku knows that there is a big daylight between issuing instructions top-down and carrying everybody along. As a CEO, you just issue marching orders with one objective in mind, to meet the bottom-line which is in direct opposite to the role of a democratically elected president, who must endeavor to carry every person along, arm-twisting and cajoling an ever unwilling, highly partisan congress in order to move his policies an inch. So while a person with some business background would make a good Commerce secretary as well as Secretary of the Interior, someone without much ego who could "wash the car and walk the dog of the opposition party leaders," if that is what it will take to get things done, is much more suited and preferred for the office of the president. 

During this election cycle we have seen the cut-throat resistance President Obama's campaign is getting even in most unlikely places such as Ohio, where the president saved 1 in every 6 person's job with the magic of the auto industry bailout; which prompts Icheoku to ask, where did the saying "one good deed deserves another in return" go, Ohioans? It is instructive that when President Obama stood firmly to save the American auto industry, such idea was not politically popular but he did it anyway; while the Mitt Romneys of America were for conducting immediate funeral rites for the industry instead. Yet the only way Ohio is  now remembering that huge favor done for them by President Obama is to be lukewarm and wish-washy about his second term reelection bid? Icheoku asks Ohioans, where is the return of that singular favor which saved your state to the president now that he really needs it? By being indecisive and still remaining on the fence about Mr President's second term reelection effort, it proves one thing and one thing only - that either Ohioans are an ungrateful people or they are just part of the other Americans who are seeing a NIGGER in "their" White House and wants him out and gone for good. Otherwise how else does one place a handle around the fleeting, mercurial and undecided situation in Ohio, where a man who once wanted Ohioans dead economically, is running neck and neck in the polls with the other man who saved them when it mattered most? Icheoku does not get it, because there is nothing to get; and does not understand it because there is no rationalized thing to understand in the circumstance. Simply put, Icheoku laments that Ohioans would be betraying that life-saving trust and bond with President Obama if they vote wrongly and against their interest by embracing Mitt Romney. 

President Obama ordinarily ought to and should be clearly ahead and leading his opponent by so far a wide margin in Ohio were things rightly considered and both candidate fairly judged based on their antecedents. Except that racism still thrives and is still very much alive in America, hence the inexplicable close race America is witnessing in Ohio between the two candidates. It would seem that doctrine of quid pro quo is alien to and does not exist in Ohioans' dictionary; and you wonder why no previous American president seriously wants to tackle the big issues and solve real problems until now. They would rather as was the practice, kick the can down the road and just play along in order to get along because as the whole world is now seeing, Americans are somehow shallow and would not remember, reciprocate a favor; or  rather conveniently choose to forget who it was that got their back when it mattered most. Icheoku says, if Ohioans were a thinking bunch, Mitt Romney would be chased out of the state each and anytime he shows up there for campaign because he was not there for Ohio when it mattered most and when their economic survival was on the firing line. Mitt Romney, cannot and should not be allowed to be a selective "friend" of Ohioans only when it is convenient, with him thinking that Ohioan had forgotten that he prescribed a poison pill for them during the height of the economic turmoil in America. Ohioans, like other sensible Americans should desire a friend indeed who will stand with them when the going is tough and not sacrifice them on the alter of political expediency. Icheoku says Ohioans OWE President Obama big time and alongside the world, is waiting for Ohioans to write the president a big check with their VOTES this November 6, 2012 in repayment. 

In Florida we have also seen thousands of Jewish Americans still strung out against the president despite all he has done to ensure Israeli security more than any other United States president living or dead? These Jews in Florida would rather throw their destiny in the hands of the same Mormon bishop Mitt Romney, who as a governor of Massachusetts, cut off funding for Jewish elderly seniors' Kosher meals? So let some Jewish person in Florida explain this to Icheoku that a man who has showed some averse behavior to the Jews in Massachusetts would not extend same to Jews everywhere and anywhere in America, including in Florida? Same goes for Michigan, Wisconsin and many other American states where the president's reelection effort is not enthusiastically receiving the much needed support it has rightly earned and thus deserves. 

It is, what it is; and as far as Icheoku is concerned, it does not and should not matter any more whatever be the outcome of this election. So if on November 7 we wake up to a Mitt Romney's presidency, we shall understand that racist white Americans eventually had their way - they have reclaimed "their" White House? Icheoku, together with all and every other persons of faith hereby binds over and decrees that such a nightmarish outcome shall not be America's portion in Jesus name. However if and the very unfortunate if situation, it happens, then let it be known that no minority can and shall ever become president of America again and not in the next millennium as the white people of America will go to a great length to frustrate such from ever happening again. Anyone in doubt should take a look at the United States senate where no minority occupies any seat in a 100-seat senate chamber and you tell Icheoku the white Americans would not spend the capital of a Romney's presidency trying to shore up against their fast dwindling (majority) population in America? Still wondering why these Republicans want all raped women to have those rape-babies - to augment their population, may be? Still wondering why the hung-up Republicans want to see the "breeding-rabbits" Hispanics self-deport? Still wants to know why the racist Republicans want to lock up so many viral black-men away in prisons and string some of them on the gurney and have lethal barbiturates injected in them? It is just to make it fair and increase their own (white) chances in competing for populating America and thus retain their majority status, period. But President Obama is in the way and OUT they must get him; except that these racist have another thing coming and that is that they are already in the minority and Americans will resist them come November 6.

We are talking about entrenched racism which cuts across every strata of the American society, manifests and exists everywhere, including in industries, banking, judiciary, politics, commerce and law enforcement. It is an open wound which is still festering in America and only the Almighty would say when it is going to end as Americans are continuously pulling apart to their respective racial enclaves each day for security and comfort. 

During the first presidential debate, it was generally agreed that Mitt Romney trumped Obama. Some white people were overtly ecstatic, congratulating themselves, patting each other's back and slapping themselves hi-five that their Mitt smoked "That One" in the debate. Some of them even suggested that President Obama was so doped and very high on something and forgot the real Barack Obama in the White House; that President Obama only brought his phenom and body-double to the debate and was not present in the debate. Even Icheoku cried holy molly about the president's lackluster performance in the first debate and went to the extent of blaming it on possibly a wife's trouble? Obama, being the sportsman he is, took the message in, went back to the locker room and came out charging and demolishing Mitt Romney in the two subsequent debates that followed. But what followed was atypical of the real America, an America which is hidden to the outside world where a black-man is portrayed as ever ANGRY and intimidating; admitted none of these white people ever asks why? Instead of congratulating the president for being a "come-back kid", they said he was too "aggressive, mean and threatening" to their "gentle and harmless" Mitt Romney? They accused President Obama of taking the sledge-hammer to their "tiny ant" Mitt, who was so scared and intimidated by President Obama that he forgot his lines? They accused the president of belittling the office of the president and of being obtrusively "patronizing," whatever that means? They intoned that Obama was not "presidential" in the debates? Further, that President Obama stooped very low in engaging Mitt Romney and decisively holding The Mitt accountable for his past records of double-speak and numerous flip-flops on so many issues dear to America? They continued that President Barack Obama pummeled and Mike Tyson(ed) frightened chihuahua Mitt Romney in the two final debates and because of his "overreaching" that he is disqualifies to be reelected for a second term? To these rabid white folks, Icheoku asks, what exactly did Mitt Romney do in that first debate to earn him a win, but attack President Obama endlessly and albeit falsely? 

But hell no, in America, a white man can do no wrong whenever a black-man is at the receiving end. No, they are a specially privileged people, ordained by their God to mete it out to black people and other minorities of America as they seem and dim fit? To them the black-man is here to "serve them tea" following their liberation from indentured servitude of slavery and therefore must and should automatically know their place which is definitely not "their" White House. So if on November 7, you wake up to a President-elect Romney, please do not cry or mourn, just understand that the white people of America have taken back "their" White house. To these people it does not matter whether they sacrificed the best face of America to the world or a real breathing and thriving manifestation of the proverbial American dream; and traded him for a dumbo who does not understand the geography between Iran and Syria as well as so many other elementary things. Afterall the same people elected George Bush twice and were prepared to have and put up with him for eight agonizing long years, stammering through the English Language, his only lingua franca. So what the heck if they elect a Mitt Romney, a Mormon, who would not or has refused to release his tax records and has been very secretive about his other past records and activities, including his governorship in Massachusetts, a state which ironically he is not campaigning in because he knows the fate which awaits him there based on his stewardship as their then governor. To this people, it also does not matter that neither Mitt Romney nor his five boys ever served in the military and thus lacked the national security credentials? That Mitt Romney did not visit our troops during his bungled overseas candidate's tour nor mentioned them during his acceptance speech at the Tampa Republican convention?

All Icheoku is saying is that the rest of the world, which thinks that they have had it with America and their George Bush; and that America finally got it right with President Obama, would see a Mitt Romney's "imposition" as a direct affront to them and the heavens will once again come thundering down with their resentment. America's president is technically president of the world at large based on the enormous power and influence it wields over world affairs; little wonder a German parliamentarian once opined that the rest of the world should be allowed to partake in electing an American president or somewhat allowed a say in who becomes American president since he is always going to tell them what to do, short of ordering them around? Russia is anxiously waiting, China is prancingly waiting and so is the Middle East as well as other hot spots of the world to press their respective resentment buttons and restart where they stopped hating America with George Bush? Icheoku queries which American wants all these hassles and unneeded tension and an apprehensive world banded together in their common resentment of America again? Icheoku honestly does not think that all these foreseeable problems and many more are worth electing Mitt Romney without more, other than that he is a white man? Instead, America should keep "That One" who is  currently occupying "their" White House, who happens to be "tanned" or should Icheoku say a NIGGER, because the world is at peace with us because of him. Also he has earned a second term because of the many formidable things he has accomplished within his very short four years first term and would readily do more if reelected. 

Icheoku says however and in the sad unfortunate event America did not or failed to do right by reelecting President Obama for a second term, America will survive. President Barack Obama, whether or not he is retained in the White House will survive and so will his family  - he and his family will be just fine. His history shattering record of being the first black man and a minority to be ever elected America's president will indelibly occupy its enviable place in the annals of history and no two-horned white people can wish or decree it away. The real person and people that would be shafted would be the American people, especially the 99% as well as the  47%, whom Romney has publicly acknowledged he does not care about. So America, either you wake up and smell the coffee or slumber and awake to the nightmare and impending catastrophe that is a Mitt Romney's presidency. If you think George Bush was a disaster then you are looking at a Dick Cheney and Bush combined on steroids with a Romney's presidency, so don't midwife the apocalypse. 

A man who inherited the worst economic crisis since the great depression is now being chased out of the White House just because he did not fix the economy fast enough and overnight? The same man who plugged a 800,000 monthly job loss hole in the economy, created additional 5 million new jobs, killed Osama Bin Laden, saved the auto industry, repaired our relationships around and with the world, ended 'don't ask don't tell' discriminatory policy in the military, made healthcare available to millions of Americans including those with preexisting condition who can now get health coverage, removed world dictators without any American military dying in the process, carried out Wall Street financial reforms, ended Iraq war with Afghanistan's in the course to a meaningful conclusions, kept Americans safe these past four years and put an end to the unnecessary code this and code that warning alerts that increased tension in the land, invested in education and technological needs of Americans as well as numerous other laudable achievements, all within just four years? Simply put, those of us minorities of America who live through discrimination daily in America, understand what time it is; and that time is that a black-man is not and would never be good enough in the jaundiced eyes of these bred of Americans and his accomplishments not worthy of reckoning by these racist white folks. 

Yes, that is the real America, the America not known to the outside world where people are still judged not by the content of their character or their God given ability but mostly by the color of their skin. President Barack Obama is a victim of this skewered racial society which has failed or rather refused to see the many good things he has done this past four years. They also failed to acknowledge his goal-directed effort to improve every body's general well-being instead of the just few one percent; and he is being judged harshly, wrongly and with prejudice by these racist Americans. So if on November 7, you woke up and Obama is no longer the president, do not cry; just remember that his not being reelected was not because he did not do enough or earned the right to a second term; nope, it is because in America, racism is still very much alive and thriving till this day. Put in another way, it would be because the white people have simply taken back their White House and it does not matter to them that a pig is the new occupant provided that pig is white. Before you ask but what about 2008, Icheoku in response reasserts that Senator John McCain lost the election when he chose Sarah Palin, period.

Conversely, if America rose up to the occasion and vote rightly and correctly, by electing President Obama for a richly deserved second term, Icheoku with the rest of the anxious world would breath a sigh of relief that America rose above their mundane racism and did the right thing. Like Colin Powell said while endorsing Obama for a second term, Mitt Romney is not a palatable alternative; Mitt Romney is not a good trade nor a viable option for Obama as he (Mitt) stands for nothing and believes in nothing; moreso those Neo-Con vultures around him would hijack his presidency and among other things plunge America into another unnecessary war we could ill afford; as well as implement such other anti-society policies like gutting education and depriving millions of America their health coverage under Obamacare. Remember, unlike Obama who cares, Mitt Romney does not care a hoot about the less fortunate Americans and then ask yourself why help put a man who is so heartless, ruthless and completely indifferent to the plight of millions of Americans as Mitt Romney in the White house? America, Icheoku says we have a choice to make this November 6, we have a choice to vote to protect our interest, we have a choice to vote to prove we are in the majority - the 99 % that is. This November, ELECT President Barack Obama for a second term to enable him finish and complete the good works he has already begun. In President Barack Obama we, the 99 percent as well as the 47 percent trust; in President Barack Obama, our fate lies and together we must and shall ensure that a man with compassion, integrity and proven empathy retains the White house for our sake and the sake of America's enduring future. This is our cause, this is Icheoku's pledge and together we shall have the job done come election day, November 6, 2012; and in unison exclaim once again, YES WE DID! With this, Icheoku solemnly endorses President Barack Hussein Obama for a second term. Vote America, Vote Obama.

ICHEOKU ENDORSES OBAMA FOR A SECOND TERM

Has he done all that he said or promised he would do, no. Has he done everything he ought to do or possibly could do, nope, But under the circumstance he found America in 2009, he has done enough within his first term to earn and therefore merits a second term to finish what he has begun. Like children in the back seat of a vehicle on a journey often asks, "are we there yet?" Icheoku responds no; but says the destination is within the horizon and we shall get there soon. Americans should know that the country is travelling on a course that is predetermined, with a driver that is razor-sharply focused and the destination already within sight. We are moving forward and the compass confirms that we are on the right trajectory and shall get there soon and very soon. Therefore lets stay the course as there is no need changing the driver mid-journey or starting the journey denovo with a new road-map or changing the route so far into the travel especially when the one already navigating us out of our mess is doing a good job. Lets renew President Obama's contract with America for four more years and watch the bounty of his past four years come to fruition. On November 6, Vote FORWARD, VOTE OBAMA

IT IS ALL ABOUT TRUST, WHO DO YOU TRUST AMERICA?

"This campaign is about trust. There is no more serious issue in a presidential campaign than trust. The person who leads this country you've got to have some confidence that he or she means what he or she says; that they believe that they are going to do it. You want someone to look you in the eye and say, 'Here's what I stand for. Here's what I'll fight for. Here's what I care about. Here's who I'm going to look out for in the debates in Washington." - President Barack Obama making a very strong case touching on character or lack thereof against the 'all over the map' Mitt Romney and his incessant equivocations and prevarications from post to pillar on so many issues. Icheoku agrees with the president that Mitt Romney is trying so hard to hoodwink Americans and con his way into the White House and should be stopped. Just in case, should the tragedy of a Mitt Romney presidency happen, America shall live to regret their intemperate shortsightedness and a time for buyer's remorse would certainly follow. This November, vote for a steady and assured hand in the White House; the world is in need of a repairman and Mitt Romney is not one. Vote for FORWARD moving America, VOTE OBAMA.

IT IS THE FINAL DEBATE 2012, THE SCORE:- 2-1 FOR BO

Icheoku agrees with millions of Americans that President Obama gave The Mitt some tutorials on foreign affairs in today's final debate. Mitt Romney was so flabbergasted by the marshaling of foreign policy objective by the president that he practically agreed with President Barack Obama on literally every point. This found Mitt Romney changing all his previously held positions and once again living up to his sobriquet as Mister Flip-flopping in chief. Mitt Romney was so pummeled by the president that he started singing his known refrain of "me too" to whatever position the president held or was for. So Americans, you have seen today the men who wants to be your president and commander in chief - one who is already tested and has so far proved his mettle and one, a novitiate, trying rather too hard to lie his way into the White House. In this troubled times and in a world too shaky, we need a steady hand on the tiller as the later is too much of a risk for America to gamble her future with. So, choose today and choose wisely, who shall sensibly pilot our affairs the next four years including not starting another war we cannot afford or causing more troubles for America particularly with Russia and China. Congratulations BO, we are marching FORWARD and this November, VOTE OBAMA. 

OBAMA TO ROMNEY, WRONG ALL THE TIME.

QUOTE ON THE MARBLE.

"I know you have'nt been in a position to actually execute foreign policy, but every time you've offered an opinion, you've been wrong." - President Barack Hussein Obama counselling Mitt Romney.
