Uganda: Citizens Form Obama Support Group
The Monitor (Kampala)
16 February 2008
Ugandans have formed a group to mobilise support for Kenyan born-senator, Barack Obama for the US presidency.
The Obama Solidarity Group (OSP) launched its campaign at Makerere University on January 18, according to one of the members.
"Our group has been formed to see that our candidate gets support from not only Americans but other parts of the world including Uganda because he is a symbol of Africa in a western democracy," Mr Silver Mulindwa, a third year student at the university, said.
"We have campaigned among the Americans working in Uganda and they have shown support for the candidate. "Obama, a senator for Illinois is campaigning against US former First Lady Hillary Clinton on the Democrats ticket to become America's first black President.
While Obama's rate card rose, Ms Clinton suffered an even more personal rejection on Thursday when Mr. David Wilhelm, who managed her husband's 1992 campaign for the White House endorsed her opponent.
The defection came as Obama began to peel away sections of Clinton's supporting coalition among working-class households, women, Catholics and older voters, to win primaries in Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC by overwhelming margins.
Clinton's strategist, Mark Penn, tried to downplay the importance of momentum to Obama, who now has a string of eight consecutive wins. "Winning Democratic primaries is not a qualification for who can win the general election," he told a conference call with reporters.
Mr. Mulindwa said they have distributed 4,000 copies of flyers, 1,000 badges, 800 car stickers and hundreds of posters to the American citizens, diplomats, academicians, scholars and businesses in Kampala.
"This is voluntary work," Mr Mulindwa said when asked about the campaign financiers. "We receive modest donations from the American friends and other well wishers."
He said, at Makerere University alone, there are two groups that have been formed to campaign for Obama.
The dean of students, Mr John Ekudu said yesterday, he was not aware of the OSG but promised to establish the information.
"I don't know about them (OSG) yet but that is interesting," Mr Ekudu said. "But how will the students participate in the elections, will they travel to US?" he asked. But Mr Mulindwa said the solidarity members do not have to travel to US to show their support.
The university spokesman, Mr Gilbert Kadilo, said he is not aware of regulations that bar students from forming partisan groups. "I don't think there is any regulation to bar students from forming partisan groups or serve certain interests, the disclaimer is that as long as they don't interfere with educational activities at the university," Mr Kadilo said.
Obama's father, Barack Obama Snr, won a scholarship to study in Hawaii, where he met Barack's mother, a student from Kansas city in US. The pair separated when their son was only two years old.
Mr Obama Snr continued to Harvard for a Masters, and then returned to Kenya to become a government economist before his death in a car accident in 1982.
Barack Obama's father married three times, and the Senator is understood to have his grandmother, three uncles, three aunts and several distant cousins still living in Kenya, the UK Telegraph reported.

How in the h311 just 7 years removed from 9/11 can we be on the verge of electing a foreign born, muslim marxist, terrorist associating empty suit to be the leader of this once great country?
Wow! Spread this far and wide!

They know they’ll get billions in handouts.
Obama has already authored the stealth ‘World Povery Act’
that will stick the U.S for 845 BILLION- and that’s in addition the the billions we’re already funneling into third world h*ll holes who hate us.
Whacha wanna bet a sizable chunk of that will go to ‘Mother Africa’?
With the help of ACORN they can actually vote for their candidate.
This is at least two articles that claim Obmama is Kenyan born. You would think his team would come out and say it isn’t so!
More to the point, why doesn't the RNC find out if this is true and get this bum disqualified!
And here Obama’s step-mother (?) states she met Ann:
Her father had three wives so Mrs Obama never resented her husband’s polygamy, she said. “He was a good man. When he wanted to marry Ann he wrote back to ask us. In Kenya, a man can have several wives so I agreed with it. Later, when I met Ann she was like a sister to me.
If we were actually on the verge of electing an enemy combatant, voter fraud wouldn’t be needed.
We need to suspend the November elections to purge the fraudulent registrations. The county offices are reporting they are overwhelmed with them.
Yes indeed.
They did try. Once these out of Kenya stories started coming out, that is what prompted the release of the COLB. Since lurker found this one, I wanted to ensure we had to posted here.
I am going to pass it on to my email list
After last night’s long post, you wouldn’t think I missed any articles, but here’s one. Thanks for pointing it out, Gemsbok.
(Someone who saw the post asked to be added to the ping list!)
Ping.

Just have to add this even though it’s posted in the sidebar; incredible. I’ll add it to the long thread for posterity. My parenthesis:
Presidential candidate’s ad buy interfering with game

NEW YORK — Barack Obama might (does) have the power to move the World Series by a few minutes.
To accommodate a half-hour Obama time buy on Fox on Oct. 29, Major League Baseball has agreed to move the start time of World Series Game 6 by about 15 minutes. That would move the start of the game from 8:20 p.m. ET or so to 8:35 p.m.

Actually, Andy Martin, author of Obama: The Man Behind the Mask, is in Hawaii as we speak following up on some history of Obama and the Dunhams.
And I believe Fred Nerks found Stanley Ann’s death certificate too.
