Obama telefon Najib, Anwar batal ke Washington

Berita malam ini telah memetik kenyataan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Najib Razak, bahawa Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama telah membuat panggilan telefon kepada Najib di kediaman peribadinya di Langgak Duta.

Obama telah memuji Malaysia sebagai satu negara Islam contoh yang moden dan progresif di mana rakyat pelbagai ugama dan pelbagai kaum hidup aman, dan menjadi cemburuan negara pelbagai kaum yang lain yang dilanda perselisihan etnik yang meruncing. Sila baca posting oleh BarkingMagpie.

Obama juga menyatakan harapan US supaya Malaysia dapat memainkan peranan besar di dalam usaha untuk membuka laluan dialog di antara US dan Iran.

Nampak gaya lawatan Menteri Luar, Anifah Aman, ke US tempohari telah berjaya sehingga membuat Pentadbiran Obama menerima Pentadbiran Najib dan melihat semula secara dekat hubungan antara kedua negara.

Mungkin Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah pun diberitahu oleh konco-konco beliau di US bahawa Obama telah mula menerima Najib dan akan menelefon Najib pada 26 Jun 2009. Mungkin sebab itulah Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim mengambil keputusan untuk membatalkan lawatan beliau ke Washington. Jurublog telah menjangkakan sejak bulan Mei lalu bahawa berkemungkinan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim akan menggunakan helah untuk pergi ke US dan terpaksa menjalani kuarantin ketika pulang semula, dan selanjutnya mengelak dari hadir ke mahkamah pada bulan Julai ini.

Pada 26 Jun 2009, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah membuat satu kenyataan di dalam anwaribrahimblog.com bahawa beliau telah membatalkan rancangan beliau untuk ke Washington bagi menghadiri seminar bertajuk ”Business Opportunities in Muslim World”.

Tetapi, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim dengan perangai celakanya telah menyalahkan mahkamah Malaysia kerana mempercepatkan perbicaraan Sodomi II ke 1 Julai 2009 hingga memaksa Anwar membatalkan lawatan beliau ke Washington, US. Berikut adalah petikan kenyataan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim:

“The unprecedented actions taken by the Malaysian courts to expedite the beginning of Anwar Ibrahim’s trial have forced him to abandon his plans to travel to Washington DC this month. The non-cooperation of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which has impeded the preparation of the best defense that Mr. Ibrahim is lawfully entitled to, and the insistence of the Malaysian courts to begin his trial in early July despite the repeated requests by his lawyers for access to basic discovery items, requires Mr. Ibrahim be present in the Kuala Lumpur High Court to attend to his various applications including to quash the charges leveled against him.”

Walau pun Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah tahu sejak berbulan-bulan dahulu lagi akan tarikh perbicaraan pada 1 Julai 2009, Anwar masih lagi ingin mengaturkan lawatan ke luar negara, terutama ke US dan Australia, dua negara yang pailing banyak kes selsema babi. Tetapi, dengan bodoh sombongnya, Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim terus mempersalahkan mahkamah kerana terpaksa membatalkan urusan perjalanan ke US kerana kes mahkamahnya yang belum selesai. Kemudian, ditambah pula dengan kenyataan-kenyataan yang memburukkan imej Malaysia dan sistem perundangan Malaysia.

Apabila membaca kenyataan tipuhelah Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim yang tersebut, Jurublog telah dengan segera menghantar komen pedas di dalam anwaribrahimblog.com. Mungkin komen Jurublog tidak akan diluluskan oleh administrator upahan Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim. Celaka punya Brader Anwar Bin Ibrahim!

President-elect Barack Obama and the USA racial voting pattern

When Obama announced that he will be running for President of the USA, I told my friends that he may not be able to obtain the nomination from the Democrats. And even if he managed to obtain the nomination, it will be difficult for him to get enough votes to win the Presidency. My main reason: Obama lacked the vital support from the Jew lobbyists, who will be the main source of campaign funds. He may need enough money to stay in the running. In USA, the candidate who can spend enough money during the campaigning period will usually be the victor.

I was wrong.

Obama managed to collect substantial amount of campaign funds, through various unprecedented sources like the internet and others. His donors included students and ordinary folks who were so fed-up with the current Bush administration.

Obama won because of the financial turmoil, and people wanted change because they were angry with the current Republican President’s failure to tackle the economic woes.

If not for the financial turmoil, McCain would have been the winner.

I said that because I still believe that the White Americans will be hesitant to vote for a Black President. Unless they have a very good reason to do that.

However, based on the exit poll, on Nation-wide basis, only 43% White Americans voted for Barack Obama, whilst 55% voted for McCain. Barack Obama largely won because the Black American came out in droves to vote, and hence the very high voters' turnout. 95% of Black voters voted for Obama, with only 5% of them voted for MCain. The tilt towards Obama actually came from Latinos, Asians and other voters when 2/3 of this voter segment chose Obama.

Racial voting is still apparent in USA, with the Black American trying to make sure that their kind will be the next President. Nation-wide, White Americans were more liberal, resulting in the tilt towards Obama.

Obama didn't manage to penetrate the Southern states, where white supremacists still exist. In Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, Obama managed less than 15% of White votes, otherwise only 30% of Whites voted for him.

Obama will have a heavy task to win the hearts of the White Americans, as they hold the keys to the economic recovery process.

Good luck and all the best to him. We hope for the best. And we hope that he will last his tenure without any untoward incident.

One thing that I noticed: Typing "Obama" on the new version of Microsoft Word will no longer result in typo error "red squiggle". Perhaps Bill Gates and the gang have earlier embraced that Obama is no longer an alien name in America.

My analysis of the White Americans voting pattern for Presidential Election 2008, as follows:-

Obama-Biden vs Osama bin Laden

Senator Barack Obama has picked Senator Joseph Biden as his running mate.

Will Obama-Biden ticket be United States' formidable answer to Osama bin Laden?

I wonder.
