President Obama & Mr. Nelson Mandela (Two Inexperienced Presidents Takes Office)

October 22, 2008,


Mr. Nelson Mandela, the inexperienced president takes office, and the rest of the story!

Some Americans believe that Senator Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be President. However, the first Black President of South Africa was Nelson Mandela and he won without any help from Senator John McCain. But because of worldwide pressure placed on the White South African government to eliminate apartheid, and as a result history will never forget this inexperienced president’s achievements.

So, let us compare America’s Republican Party with South Africa’s Apartheid Party and see which one had the most Blacks in their party. So how many Black Delegates were in the Apartheid Party’s Convention in South Africa, and how many was at the Republican Party’s Presidential Convention in 2008?

Then consider President F.W. De Klerk views, analysis, and response to Mandela becoming president with NO previous experience. Except for the experience he received in prison and from working as a community organizer that took him from a prison cell to the highest office in the land.

If this had happened in America what would America’s news Media response be in comparison to President Nelson Mandela, and our 2008, presidential election with Senator Barack Obama run for the Oval Office?

Moreover, what was the response to the South African People concerning Mandela’s inexperience? How did they feel? What did they say? How did they treat him? And when it came to race, hate and patriotism did the people act with wisdom in their endeavor to elevate their country’s image around the world?

And are we displaying our humanity to man in our 2008 presidential election as the people of South Africa under apartheid or is it about the same? Moreover was Mandela a president only for Black People? Or was he the president of all the people?

Was he a good president or a bad president? Was he a liberal, conservative, Christian, Muslim, Jew, or other? And can America learn from the people of South African?

In addition are South Africa and the world better off because this inexperienced President served his nation? And how does America compare to apartheid when it comes to fairness, equality, hate and fear in America?

Are there similarities between apartheid and the Republican Party as they treat and respond to those who disagree with them? And are republicans the most fearful and hateful people ever to exist under the name of Christianity? If so, they should stop lecturing the nations of the world on hate, fear, love and terrorism.

It seems that the job of republicans, evangelicals, and others is to tell God what or whatnot to do, and that they alone are fair and balanced. Therefore they seem to have made themselves a god beside God and ordained themselves to rule by any means necessary. Even if it includes hate, fear, false patriotism, and military might. How sad?
