To: Never on my watch

Joseph Kony is a Uganda leader of LRA, a rebel leader who kidnaps and uses children as troops. There is a worldwide movement of awareness on April 20th. In the last day the video and movement has gone wild. My question was, is this Obamas chance to become Mandela, because I see election year hero all over it. That is why I posted a thread.

Kony 2012 is a brilliant viral campaign to bring one of the world’s most hideous war criminals to justice and save a lot of children’s lives. I don’t see this as a Obama mandela making moment as it has bipartisan support. James Inohof is a big behind this. As far as republicans go, they need to embrace it and encourage the gubmint to stay engaged.

my two cents.

...is this Obama's chance to become Mandela,

{higgster scratches his head}

Nelson Mandela served 27 years in prison for being a radical leader of a repressed political movement seeking God given human rights for the opressed, yet then found it in himself to join hands with the opposition to become a conciliating unifier of his diverse nation.

I am at a loss to understand how anyone could compare Obama to this?

This was popping up all over Twitter today, forwarded by a lot of celebrities to their followers...I found this article that OPPOSES the "KONY 2012" campaign...
"Kony 2012: Why I'm Opposed To The Campaign" (via Sabotage Times)

April 20th is Hitler's birthday, anniversary of Columbine, Waco, etc. Wonder why that particular day was chosen by this campaign? {tin foil hat on}

Obama would not make a decent pimple on Mandela’s ass.......
Why worry about this today with an election coming up? Been going on for many years. Wasn’t it important last year the year before??
