POLITICAL ROUND-UP: ‘WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA?’ / BUSH HOPES AFRICA VISIT HELPS BLACK VOTE / OBAMA’S WAX FIGURE REVEALED

( Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? Trailer )

Check out the trailer for the upcoming documentary Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? from Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me).

With no military experience, knowledge or expertise, he sets off to do what the CIA, FBI and countless bounty hunters have failed to do: find the world’s most wanted man.

The film is set to be released in April.

BUSH HOPES AFRICA VISIT HELPS BLACK VOTE

Advisers to President Bush hope his trip to Africa this month will lessen opposition to the administration among blacks and possibly assist GOP candidates with the black vote this fall.

According to a senior White House official, “The president really cares about Africa,” and Bush hopes to stress that by underscoring his commitment to spending millions to fight AIDS/HIV and other diseases as part of his ongoing programs to help the nations of Africa.

GOP strategists hope that black voters won’t be motivated to vote against Republican candidates when they see that Bush, as well as his party, have Africa’s best interests at heart.

President and Mrs. Bush will spend a week in Africa starting Feb. 15 visiting Benin, Ghana, Liberia, Rwanda and Tanzania. He will meet with the leaders of those countries to discuss how the U.S. can support the continuation of democratic reforms, respect for human rights and economic opportunities throughout the continent.

The new Barack Obama wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. on Monday.

“Barack Obama has certainly earned his place among the political icons represented at Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. ” said Janine DiGioacchino, General Manager, Madame Tussauds New York and Washington D.C. “Madame Tussauds is proud to add the Obama figure to the Spirit of Washington D.C. gallery where he will join other figures that have shaped the history of our nation.”

Obama’s figure stands behind the famed Resolute Desk in Madame Tussauds’ precise replica of the Oval Office.

    Bush must really think we are stupid….why not help the African Americans here if you want to impress us so much….(not saying Africa is not in the struggle, Africa suffered the whole time you were in Office and now is when you wanna help???)…what about all the people suffering in New Orleans????? Dont they need help….what about the college students who eat noodles every night living check to check, already in debt from student loans??? dont they need help??? What about our soldiers comming home not being able to pay for college and the ones who lost their limbs or their lives???? Dont they/their families need help????? Or what about the babies getting shipped off to die just to find oil or weapons but kill innocent civilians in the process??? Help them!!!!!!!!!!

    Thats is why I cant stand this man, always using God’sname for personal gain….wanna impress Black folk after seven years of bullcrap…

    Its really not a race issue…its a money issue….there are more working class and middle class in this country then the rich!!!! The rich dont get taxed for what the lower classes do! Half of our check be gone, yet they still have plenty to throw around like leaving 12 million dollars to their dogs in their will and shit!

    College is too expensive…they know not all minorities and poor people have access to this kind of funds….so they create loans to keep us down….

    The only way you can get a scholarship is if you are a genius or have a 4.0 or you are really talented in sports…..and half of these people dont make it to becomming a professional athlete….but the ones who do become forty million dollar slaves!

    Then if you cant get a scholarship or dont want to take out loans you can join the army and be used as a puppet to fight for punks like Bush who wont fight for themselves or for this country for their dishonest causes!

    We get taxed to death, but we might not have social security when we are older???

    Fuck him!

    OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    @ Ron Paul Supporter
    I understand your message but to vote for Ron Paul I don’t know about that….But I am with you all the presidental candidates are supported by big cooperation benefiting from a war that is far away from America. Out of sight, Our of Mind…

  3. This post is a really good post. Too bad we can’t read cause the words are cut off!

  6. Aries

    I don’t understand what some people are talking about. Bush doesn’t need black votes or support. He’s already the president, lol. He doesn’t need anything from black people nor does he want anything from black people. He never has. Him being in Africa, like many people have already said, has nothing to do with making black people want to vote for Republicans. He’s just saying that to say that. He has to perpetuate this “golly gee” image to make stupid people think that he’s stupid. He’s killing 4 birds with one stone. He’s showing his support for McCain, he’s causing confusion in the democratic electoral process, he’s making American whites aware that they should take back control of America, and he gets to check up on his puppet African leaders to make sure that they’re not interfering with American and Israeli agendas (i.e. diamond mines, gold mines, oil reserves, and perpetuation of confusion and caucasian worship through “democracy”). That’s why it says “democratic reforms and economic opportunities”, lol.

    As much as our people; and American people in general, say that they’re not dumb, they continue to do, say, and think things to the contrary. The biggest mockery of people in this “War on Terror” is that this boogie man, Osama Bin Laden, has not been apprehended. The reason why they cannot apprehend him and why they most probably will not apprehend him is because not only is he an agent for the American government, he is still useful to perpetuate the “threat” of another attack. He’s a face to this “war”. They need an archvillian to represent ultimate evil while the U.S. and the European coalition represent “freedom, justice, and equality”. Normal caucasian mind-control propaganda tactics. If the U.S. government stages his capture, they will lose a major amount of credibility in maintaining any sustained presence of troops in Iraq. Those troops must stay there to insure anarchy in that region and destroy the infrastructure of the country so that “democracy” can be implemented and the original culture destroyed.

    The Obama statue is mockery of our people and their infatuation with idols. This man has established himself, thus far in this contrived political process, as a figure that can seduce the American public into thinking that he can or will “change” things. He’s extremely vanilla and the support that he’s received from most black females and caucasians shows that whatever he plans to do, it will not be productive to the black community. Those two entities tend to only support non-threatening black male figures; black males that will put their spirit into this backwards society and the perpetuation of their own subservience. I’m eager to see how this thing will play out in all honesty. When this dude is forced to roll up his sleeves and back up his bland, obtuse rhetoric and actually expound on, much less implement, his nonsense. That’s when things will get interesting.

  8. say whaaat?

    #16: LMAO@ the wax figure can get it! whoo! haha…the wax figure does resemble Obama, especially that sexy smile lol….But I agree with #6…something isn’t quite right with the eyes…but its damn close!

    Umm, George, if you dont go sit your ass down somewhere! Not all black people are stupid and naive like you think we are. How dare he insult our intelligence like that?! Maybe, just maybe if he took a tour through U.S. ghettos, and tried to make a difference there, then I would possibly maybe care enough to think about listening to what a republican has to say…until then OBAMA 08!

  9. THINK A BOUT IT

    last time BUSH went to africa he was over there getting his cookies off watching elelphants HUMP’N. shit the GOP would’nt even show up at the black sponsored debates they don’t give a damn about blacks. why not go over there to stop the war in kenya, congo etc. OH SHIT I FORGOT AIN’T MUCH OIL OVER THERE.SOME BUT NOT ENOUGH.

  11. jones

    @25 I apologize to you sista for my crude words,but she watched the same news coverage that I did with regards to Hurricane Katrina,Haiti,Sierra Leone,Kenya on the brink of civil war,Sri Lanka and the list goes on and on.This is the same woman who took Colin Powell’s place as a pawn,because he needed somebody to keep the lie going to the American Public,The UN-Security Council,The World.Bush,Powell,and Rice have blood on their hands,and now is the big payoff for being loyal,she has been down with Bush WAAAYYY before he go into politics,sounds like a Kizzy to me.

  12. Osama is in the basement at the White House. Ask me how I know, they won’t even trace the address from the envelopes that the keep receiving these “tapes” from. This is America, why can’t they seem to find this man?

  13. Lisa

    If Bush wants to get the black vote, how about do something in favor of African-Americans, you knwo the ppl who will vote in the election.

  14. missj

    Shouldn’t this dude be reaching out to the Black people who will be actually voting in the election- Blacks in the States?? Africa is a long way away from the issues he should be dealing with. Plus why did he avoid all the war and violence stricken countries like KENYA, Congo, Chad???

  15. MNM From Amsterdam City, Europa

    Obama is HOT!!!

  16. Emma V's Great-Grandaughter

    I can care less about George Bush going to Africa thoes people probably don’t won’t him there anyway.

    Like the wax figuer.

    I I hope they do find Osama.

  17. I do think that Osama is hiding in a cave with the door halfway open and halfway closed.

  18. @15-I find that NOT to be a mistake. Hey he has done all of us wrong his entire career as (dare I say “president”)

    George will NOT be missed! Can’t wait until he’s outta the White House- he wasted his time going to Africa,they aren’t thinking about his dumb ass either,sorry but he makes me mad. He should have been swallowed! LOL!

    Wow,now the wax firgure is on point! He looks better the real Obama. I think he has hair is a little more salt and peppered in real life,nonethelss it looks good.

  19. The part about Bush, Africa and Black voters is a joke, right?

  20. yes

    ok!!!@74, he must think we all just got off the boat, u know he aint that smart, i never been there how is that supposed to get my empathy? he could go to australia or dakota for all i care

  21. Ms. T.

    I loved Super Size Me, after seeing that movie, i swore off of fast food, so I can’t wait to see this guy’s new documentary…it would be crazy if he actually found him.

    Bush always cares about black people, when an election is at stake. I remember when he visited black churches during the 2000 elections and the shameful things is some Negros actually fell for the okie doke.

    And Obama’s wax figures is hot….man would I love to be an intern in his white house, no offense to Michelle, lol.

  22. CandyKisses

    Lol Bush is lame…What makes him think that goin to Africa is gonna make us vote Republican?! Republicans do nothin, but put the States in recession erytime they’re in office! I’ve met plenty of ppl 4rm Africa and they’re NOT too fond of blacks in the States anyway! Y sould i care Bush?! Ur done! Obama already won in my eyes…
