Obama's fathers ancestral village witch doctor foresees Obama victory(creeps me out)  
Reuters ^ | Nov 6,2012 | Reuters

Transcript from Reuters website: This small village in the Kenyan countryside boasts a special connection to U.S. President Barack Obama. Kogelo is the ancestral village of his father - and the birthplace of the Obama surname. This is John Dima - a respected local witchdoctor who's trying to peer into the future to predict whether Obama will trounce Mitt Romney in his bid for the White House. As his wife offers instructions on the preparation of John's prophetic potions, the witchdoctor says he foresees victory for the President. (SOUNDBITE)(Luo) KOGELO WITCHDOCTOR, JOHN DIMA, SAYING: "His father was my friend; his grandfather was also my good friend. So I predict that Obama will win the presidency, that's all." Thousands celebrated here in 2008 when Obama was elected the first African-American president of the United States. Some here are hurt that he hasn't visited the town where his grandmother still lives since he took office. But most here are still rooting for Obama. One man says he doesn't need magic to predict an outcome, he's instead been keeping an eye on the polls. Obama only visited sub-Saharan African once in his four-year term - a brief stopover in Ghana between summits elsewhere. The region has gone virtually unnoticed as a topic in the U.S. presidential election campaign - sidelined by talk of a stuttering economy, healthcare reform and a dragging war in Afghanistan.

John Dima, that name sounds familiar.

Hey, I know! He sent me an EMAIL about $250 million he wanted to give me. All I had to do is send him my SS and bank account numbers.

Should be getting that any day now.

Now you know how I feel when people quote and follow Benny Hinn, and not David Jeremiah or Dr. John MacArthur.

A Washington Reskins loss beats the voodoo of an Kenyan witchdoctor.

It’s the “hometown” superstition advantage. /s

So Romney Wins

Didn’t you always suspect though that Principalities and Powers from the Dark Side were behind his Presidency all along?



Funded in part by a man who started his fortune by handing his family and neighbors over to the Nazis. Hopefully tonight will see the Return of the Republicans rather than the Revenge of the Progressives.

Hm.

The temperature up here in Massachusetts got down to 22 degrees this morning, and as I was taking a shower, my wife put her gloved hand on the shower door to say goodbye and cheerily said “Today is the first day for mittens!”

She has no idea “Mittens” is a nickname some have for Romney (even if it is a derogatory one) so I thought...”That might be a good omen for Obama’s defeat!”
