Another endorsement for Barack Obama for President of the United States.
The Secretary General of the Movement for Democratic Change(MDC), Tendai Biti has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for United States President, saying “Once in a while, God donates individuals of such exceptional talent that you can only thank the Almighty that you breathe the same air with them. Barack Obama is that rare breed!”
Mr Biti, the MDC Chief Strategist and a Parliamentarian,in an Opinion article published on Metro wrote that the American election is no longer a domestic affair “For reasons that are as clear as pike stuff, this election is no longer a strict private American election. It is a world election”, wrote Biti.
The MDC Policy Co-ordinator General, Eddie Cross last month also publicly expressed his support for the first African American nominee for a major party “I support him because he has African roots but also because he embodies everything that the American dream stands for. That a poor, mixed race kid with a single mom can rise out of obscurity and claim the leadership of the most powerful country on earth.”
Mr.Cross,MDC-Bulawayo South., further wrote that “We have a common heritage with Obama – we represent the dreams and aspirations of our people, we represent the hope of a better, more just and equitable future. It is an opportunity and a responsibility and one that we dare not fail in.”
Biti and Cross join a list of other international politicians who have endorsed the Democratic Party ’s nominee. Last month the mayor of London,added his voice in endorsing Obama for president.
Mayor Boris Johnson a member of the center-right Conservative Party that is a traditional ally of U.S. Republicans, said then Obama “visibly incarnates change and hope, at a time when America desperately needs both.”
Following the disputed Presidential run-off election Obama called MDC President Morgan Tsvangirai and shared his deep concern for the way MDC supporters were being targeted by President Mugabe’s militia.
According to sources Obama also expressed his admiration for Tsvangirai’s efforts to ensure that the will of the Zimbabwean people is respected. The Democratic Party nominee demanded US and African act on the crisis in Zimbabwe.
What if Obama loses?
Obama serves no purpose to us let us work on our own domestic issues rather than worrying about these americans people are starving do you think the average joe in mbare sakubva mkoba cares whether obama or mccain wins
Shrek, I think Obama will still remain ”that rare breed” regardless of the election outcome.
Commander, is it not a hallmark of better statemanship to give credit where it is due despite our problems at home than using every opportunity to throw tantrums at Bush and Blair while the country is burning? Can those in leadership afford to lose sight of global perspectives simply because their domestic front is tight? Besides, isn’t Biti engaged full-throttle in finding solutions to our domestic problems? Do Biti’s remarks/compliments on Obama amount to an abdication of his local responsibilities?
Good luck America.
Commander…..You are a perfect idiot who can not see beyond his problems.
Am very ashamed. Where do short sighted people like you come from? ZANU PF(e) I am sure!
Commander you are so ignorant, American politics affect the whole world. You have been confused by your master mugabe just to concetrate on being brainwashed by local politics. Don’t expose your ignorance in this platform.
why endorse obama when geoge bush has been giving you so much support? What will bush’s slave mcgee make of this new development? What will the republicans think when in their hour of need the mdc decides to endorse their opponents? Hahahahahahahahaha mdc politics -always confused. You are run by a leader who does not believe in what if? He just goes ahead full steam ahead no matter what happens. He pulled out of the june elections because he did not ask himself what if.He failed to unite the two mdc parties in march just before the elections because he did not ask what if? He went full speed in the march elections without asking what if i fail to get 51% of the vote? He has a one track mind and that is the problem. If he had asked himself what if i fail to get 51% in the vote what would be my next startegy? what a fool.
Now he has signed a document that we now believe was doctored by two lawyers.How much was doctored if at all no one knows nor do we even know if it has any bearing on the current negotiations? But yet again morgan fails to tackle simple problems.How can you sign a legal document that was left in the hands of your fearce rival before checking it quickly? uyu manje munhu akapusa. I hope he does not behave like that when he signs other legal documents because the tsotsis will have him for breakfast. kusadzidza hama dzangu..education is king.
Do you think mugabe would ever sign a document that had come from tsavangirai without checking it first? No no no never-its called due dilligence. In zanu pf we have been there and done it. People like morgan we have for breakfast. chituta and only good at making tea.mr flip flop of a prime minister tea boy-milk and 1 sugar pliz tea boy.
mugabe – on top of the world
lewis hamilton – on top of the world
obama on top of the world.
morgan -tea boy
george bush -soon to be tea boy
mcgee –bush’s slave but morgan’s boss..hahahahahaha
Scarface you have lost the plot here.Wishing someone wins is not a crime.Its Biti’s wish not MDC its acceptable.Zanu Pf wished Sata would win in Zambia as he declared his love for Mugabe , yes he lost but that was the wish.So what wrong with Biti wishing.I also wished him if you visit “www.americaelections.com. Scarface i thought you have improved but sounds like Mondays you are confused after your weekend CIO routes to check graves incase those you murdered have woken up.You did it when Tonderai Ndira was buried at Warren Hill.2 weeks trying to exhume him! Zanu hooooooooooooohooooooo!!!
Scarface you are a waste of sperm really, I think we need to ignore you and never take you serious your low level of understanding of issues really show that you are a zanupf idiot. How will calling morgan tea boy build Zimbabwe, I think if you are taking this forum like a joke please leave us serious people who want to re-build Zimbabwe alone. Go to hell where you and all your Zanupf people will burn for all the killings you did in Zimbabwe (Gukurahundi etc).
Gents dont take this scarface thing serious he is retarded, I dont he has relatives back home. He once said how did i escape xenophobia in SA my god this lunatic. He thinks every Zimbabwean in SA is here illigally oh what a stupid thing. People are dying day in day out in Zim but we still have people like him commenting nonsese in here.
Obama ndizvo he is not a war morger like Mcain and Bob. This world now now need young blood not spend forces like Mac-bob
Powell is republican but he endosed Obama and he is a brother too. Same with Mcgees you fool.
For anyone to liken Obama and Bob is being senile!!!
MDC mentally deluded by colonialists. mdc forever confused. Biti endorses obama but i will not be surprised if next week i hear morgan endorses Mccain oven chips. Biti says morgan will not attend sadc meeting unless he has been given his passport……oh dear only for morgan to climb down and deny all that- he says he will attend with or without the passport..come on guys just take a moment to think outside the box..just a moment. Forget about scarface and his brother BOB etc and zanu pf…just think about your party and how they conduct themselves in public. Its just not acceptable.To me this shows signs of divisions in the party with a few figures joslting for positions because morgan’s ten years will be up next year. Unless you want to turn him into a dictator.your constitution says ten years and no more – so is he game up?
So Biti has endorsed Obama -remember i want Obama to win but o know those fools will do anything to scupper this dream. can you imagine a n**** at the white house? Either americans have suffered under Bush so much that any change will do or they have seriously changed their ways. They no longer worry about niggaz etc .Obama is no ordinary American but he is kenyan blood.I desparately want him to win and he has my full support. May be with his quiet diplomacy like mbeki he might talk to My boss mugabe like a brother and sort out our problems . He will become a true African hero straight away.As for bush who supported morgan the puppet and killed thousands in iraqi and afghanistan -good riddance and bye bye rest in peace or pieces.
you fools are all blinded- why is no one listening to the claims of the zambian opposition ? We know why -its because you all think he supported mugabe this and that. Is that true democracy? No one -not even the red blooded Americans have said hang on lets look at the claims before we swear in the president. Its full steam ahead because this guy was a mugabe sympathiser. No one has listened to his cries and yet this will come back to haunt zambia in the future. When morgan cries fowl its all hands on deck for the british and americans. Yet i have not seen the same dilligence applied in zambia..the oppositions’s cries have not been heard—democracy african style.
Thats just the way it goes- i hope this new guy does not turn out to be just another puppet.
respect to lewis Hamilton -what an achievement..Now we need Obama to do the ultimate impossible job.A negro finally becoming president of America. My heart is beating until the results are out..i can smell recounts just like in zimbabwe…it will not be easy but if he can sneak it like Hamilton did in the final 2 corners then we will all celebrate. The only thing that can surpass all that is a zimbabwe gnu deal…come on SADC lets finish the year in style. If obama can defeat these evil devils in their back yard -we sure can defeat these puppets here..oh happy days -oh happy days!!!!!
Scarface you should find a zanupf forum so that you can continue fooling yourselves, debating with you is a waste of time with your zanupf brainwashed mind. Look at things this way you idiot, if Morgan doesn’t attend the talks the Zim solution will still be far away and our families back home will be suffering. mugabe needs Tswangirai more at this stage, if it was like the olden days we know what he could have done by now. Your president is so useless and powerless now he cannot do anything now, he is at the mercy of SADC and AU. Gone are the days of funny accidents. MDC will work till we both have equal powers whether you like it or not, what Biti and Morgan say about the talks is not important to an extent of you judging them; the poeple spoke on March 29, yours is to accept the reality.
The little effect Biti’s ‘endorsement’ has on the US elections does not warrant the inherent risks of supporting Obama just for counter-racism reasons.
Mr Biti while he has every right to express himself as he wishes and align with whomever he sees fit in his capacity as an MDC heavyweight restraint and caution must be exercised to avoid coming out as a black buffoon in an intellectual’s skin.
Let Obama win and then voice these feelings that way you lose nothing unlike as it is if he fails win.
Stay out of American politics, this is an endorsement Obama doesn’t need. Imagine either one of the American political parties endorsing the MDC, the political aparachicks would cry interference. Instead you should concerntrate on proof reading all agrements with zanu pf to avoid the current embarassment where your president appendaged his signature on a fraudulent document. Otherwise well done for keeping zanu pf in check.
are the mdc supporters stupid or what? some are telling me its bitis,s decision to support obama and yet the headline clearly says mdc emdorses obama. is it a case of biti says one thing and morgan says the other? you will always be fools..i urge you zimbabweans to think of alternative opposition because this mdc circus will get you nowhere. These leaders of mdc can not and will never revive the economy of zimbabwe to the level we aspire to. Yes we are rock bottom now and any change will bring in basic needs but overall long term these guys are a circus.Please think before you jump-these mdc fools will set us back a million years in the long term.
How can you open your mouth to endorse obama-yet the republicans have been bankrolling your campaign.? How can you criticise zim army presence in congo when you dont know the game? I can see issues like forein policy getting out of control. In sadc we need to support each other as the west will only come in when thousands have died. Rwanda was a perfect example-where whey they? They sat back and watched whilst millions died. Now in congo they want to be messiars again but only after millions have been killed. Let zimbabwe help out -lets protect each other in sadc.Of course we will get some diamonds for payment-its not free a service.You africans get in there and help the congolese because the evil devils will come in with their aid baskets when everyone is dead.I support the deployment of troops -zimbabweans in congo to help stabilise the situation. If those rwandan rebels are allowed to win then the carnage will spill over.As long as Kabila pays for our operation then let it be.
We are no cowards and above all we need to shapern our skills on the battle front.We took care of renamo in moza and now lets help a friend in need.Mugabe ndizvo.
good pple my parents are members of zanu their brains work therefore they were given a lot of food by the gov 6ltrs of cooking oil ,200kg maize, beans,a fertilizer , maize seed and even a laptop how about that.
lk he needs it and lk it adds any weight to his campaign.and y so let y not earlier.were u nt sure as always.u had to wait for the last minute to issue this low key endorsement.if his projection during the campaigns is hw he is going to run the white house is going to be ,the unquestioned surpport u were getting from bush is going to b history.i so him bing asked if he will tok 2 the taliban without any conditions and he sed yes,so if he can tok to pple who have even cost american lives .it wil hypocrisy for him not to tok to pres mugabe 2 hear where he stands ,we r nt a threat to america.so mdc b aware yo leadership might b tested soon to hear yo born of contetion with zanu.not this say of we r fighting for the people,wen and wat.scarefacw is rite and 2 the point.the problem i find with conrtibutors of mdc is the way they r so vulgar they attack the man nt the ball.unonzwa scareface **** ramai vake zvinhu zvinonyadzisa so zvisinei netopiki.kuraiwo kani.read hw we analyse issues and learn.
Heading inoti MDC ENDORSES OBAMA
I don’t think clever politicians will say that coz of future relationship if you are lucky your candidate yawa supporter ika wina no problem it will be unfortunate akadyiwa coz you will have strained you relationship with the other candidate. I think it was going to be ideal for MDC to WISH GOOD LUCKY TO THE PARTICIPATING CANDIDATES and show the world that they respect people”s choice and are prepared to work with any one whether he /or she is rare breed or not.
john is a white farmer from the zimbabwe by the way
mugabe from this forum your parents are looting from our taxes, anywhere let them enjoy while it last we shall soon be all equal. Stop wasting your time about American politics your home country is rotten and americans are enjoying life despite fears of a recession. How do we go to Congo to fight and waste resources rather than build our country, we know those diamonds will be for the zanu cronies, this is the reason we want home affairs to stop all this corruption that zanu has been enjoying for a long time. You know where all you zanu pf members belong in jails. Now you are scared that Morgan is talking about the Matebeleland atrocities, life has never be so interesting in Zimbabwe especially when we seem to be equal with zanu fools.
What has happened to the original Scarface.This imposter is even more stupid than the original fool.
Never judge a politician b4 he has run his term. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.We can only say Obama is this or that after he has run his course lest you are found wishing he waqs never in Office like Bush or matibili.
morgan is now going on about gikurahundi hundred years behind his supporters requests. Its not that long ago that the ndebele supporters in the mdc asked mdc to tackle the issues of gukurahundi before any talks on the gvt of national unity. Did morgan listen to them –hell no. He steam rolled ahead like he was deaf. Hey look at him now-he wants to tackle those issues now-he has suddenly realised ZAPU is gathering pace and he might lose support and so he now wants to please the ndebeles by talking about gukurahundi while at the same time he is derailing the talks.This guy imbwa chaiyo and his heart is not with zimbwabweans. Besides any fool who supports sanctions against his brothers and sisters -mothers and fathers is a waste of sperm..just like baba.
Why did he not demand that the issues of gukurahundi be made an issue before signing that stupid document ? I think he thinks ndebeles are a bunch of fools. I wonder what these ndebeles think now when they look at things from a diferent angle-or if they think outside the box? Demanding these things now means he has lost the plot just like he lost the plot by signing a document before checking it first.Why does he want the people to suffer just so he can be president. We are not desparate for a ugly uneducated puppet to lead this great nation.**** you and your son baba.
Scarface. You have not finished evolving yet.Go back to your banana plantation where you belong.
