(Reuters) - President Barack Obama, who has pushed Sudan over an upcoming referendum and the crisis in Darfur, has written to leaders in the region stressing U.S. commitment to a peaceful vote, the White House said on Sunday.

"President Obama has made it clear that Sudan is one of the administration's top priorities; we have a vision of hope, peace and prosperity for the people of Sudan," said White House National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer.

Confirming Obama had written to a number of leaders about the referendum and the situation in Darfur, Hammer said this was part of an ongoing diplomatic push to emphasize the importance that Washington places on a peaceful Sudan.

The letters were sent recently, Hammer said.

Give me one well outfitted B-52 and a refueling tanker, and I can take care of all the problems in Sudan, especially Darfur.

Yeah, where has Obama been throughout this tragedy, this totally inhumane crisis? How about that UN? Yeah, both having the same thing in common — impotence!

The killings have stopped in Darfur because they ran out of Christians to kill in that sorry land. All we did in the US is talk and go to the UN. The only nation who did anything was France—then only because it destabilized there client state of Chad. America talks a good fight but rarely acts. Obama will write letters and give a talk but in the end the murderocracy of Sudan will continue—Even Osama ben Laden could have done a better job running this savage land.
