When Obama won the historic election in the US and everyone was excited and awed by the man, Dick Cheny was the only whohad balls to describe Obama as the bigest deception in human history. One year down the line, has this come to pas?Picture this;


1.Healhtcare reform not attracting as much support as it was one year ago
2.The latest elections for senator showed a huge shift in popularity in favour of republicans
3.His International, multiracial popularity has somewhat dissipated
4.The war in Afghanistan is getting messier and forcing him to adopt hawkish approach not different from his predecessor
5.From events in recent weeks, his adminstration appears to be preparing for a major confrontation with China on issues from Internet censorship, trade, Dalai Lama, arms sale to Taiwan, therefore removing the pacifist tag from him
6.Muslim Western relations appeared to improve following his Cairo speach but have since hot a low
7.No developments towards peace in the middle east, with Isreal seemingly defying Obama
8.Here at home, a sad realisation that the man may not change the political situation significantly

KIBAKI remains the greatest!
2002. We voted.
Remember Uhuru Park in 2003
And pray, do REMEMBER exactly what that felt like.
2007. We voted.
Remember Uhuru Park in 2008
And pray, do REMEMBER exactly what that felt like.
2012. ????????
A BIG question mark for what lies there.
We have no idea where our 'leaders' will have us.
Then tell me why...
You cross oceans...
When the greatest deception...
Touching your life and mine...
Is at home with you.
It pains me...
To REMEMBER...

Another thing...
It is hopeless...
To expect Obama...
Or any other person but your own President...
To turn around things...
In Kenya!

drastic calling him a deception...

Only 2-3 challenges out of the 8 you have mentioned are really of substance and matter to him. He will overcome some to varying degrees of success in the fullness of time. Nobody told him his presidency will be devoid of challenges.

Every time a thread like this starts, the words to Michael Joseph Jackson's hit "Man in The Mirror" jump into my mind.

If you wanna make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself
And make

Obama couldnt be a deception.

Most of the time the general public have some unrealistic expectations.

Obama is quite on course to deliver on the issues he campained on.

He is more diplomatic in dealing with other nations.

The economy in US has improved since he took over.

Heaalth care reform is on course albeit a few challenges.

All else not with standing, he is not to stand and do nothing when a situation calls for action, e.g increasing troops in Afghanstan or
telling China the plain truth about censorship.
Obama is on course.
And by the way NSE is up.
If the economy in the US was still in the thick, NSE would still be in acute diarrhoea

No great advance has been made in history without controversy. Leaders change things - Obama should learn from the greatest and do much more (no need to pay controversy too much attention).


Abraham Lincoln:
As president he is best remembered for leading the Union through the Civil War and freeing Confederate slaves with the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation; for delivering the Gettysburg Address

Theodore Roosevelt:
Built up the Navy, created independent Panama and building of Panama Canal, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905 for helping end the Russo-Japanese War, designated dozens of national forests and strengthened the executive branch. His policy pronouncement, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

George Washington:
He refused to be affiliated with any party. He proclaimed a policy of neutrality in the war between Britain and France. He declined to serve a third term (thereby setting a 144-year precedent) and in retiring deliverd his "Farewell Address."

Truth is, the weight of expectations on him puts him in a tough spot. He is unlikely to really hit the mark with people, because based on the expectations, he's fighting a losing battle.

@ gathinga. Obama became the president at probably the worst time anybody would have taken the office probably more worse for a black man. he is trying to achieve what he set out to but as usual he is being prevented from doing it by the Machiavellian nature of politics. so pray which of the points u mention is he not trying to achieve as he promised?
