Fardson Kairanga And you are not alone among intelligent people that saw the danger of reelecting this man a president, but it has happened and we yes know we are screwed large, let us move forward. And here is the question that worries critical thinkers, you did not want Obama to be reelected but what option did you have? Do you honestly think that Mitt Romney would have been a better president? The answer is no. We are stuck in that nightmare of failing to get a candidate that has a vision, a change of path. They all stand up and talk and talk and talk I mean my God who knew Obama will become the president with a legacy of killing children in primary schools? Is that the change he promised all along? Remember the speech of "We will turn those tanks into tractors"? But so would Mitt Romney for we have failed to move from the revolving door and think out of the box. I supported Obama but here is where I broke off the trailer, he said all along that as soon as he goes to White house he will shut down the war in Iraq and the soldiers will immediately come home. And that was his very clear mantra, but a few days later when he started to see the numbers coming towards him to beat Hillary, he changed it to we will look into the situation and we will make the decisions accordingly. So basically he was a running mouth all long for he never expected to win, Obama expected Hillary to win and he was returning to Chicago. The moment he started to speak as a prospective president he started to fumble than making straight statements. That was the point I departed, and when these reports start to be printed by the Guardian of London that he is a killer, his supporters need to give their head a firkin shake.
Our failure to have an alternative is what is eating Uganda politics today to see Museveni dying in power. And let me say this today, I have gone after Dr Kiiza Besigye General Mugisha Muntu Colonel Samson Mande for they built the Movement, they happen to be part of those that killed so many Uganda's in very many circumstances. Under international law I need all of them to stand in Hague so that those that were their victims get a chance to testify what they know they did. Now when I pull out those from prospective leaders the list gets smaller. But here is the nightmare you have as a Ugandan today, you see for us we follow people by knowing who they deal with. Of late it has become very interesting to see the organizations and companies and individuals Norbert Mao deals with. For it is those that will back him up if he ever gets to power. Do all political mistakes in that country but never ever allow or let Norbert Mao to lead Uganda for he is a sellout. Mao is going to sell that state to foreign investors it will be mined and many of you will die as in Mali today. Now when you take Norbert Mao out, who actually do you have as an alternative to lead Uganda? And that is how we ended up with Obama 2. Embrace your selves especially when you are an African.
