Global Election


Former President Jimmy Carter made comments to reporters in my home country, Nigeria, that are being construed as an endorsement of Barack Obama. See NY Times entry that cites Nigerian daily, This Day, and another posting from the Jerusalem Post.

There is little doubt in my mind that Africans on the content and in the diaspora will erupt in celebration if Senator Obama wins this thing. By the way, President Carter should have asked Samantha Powers if he had any allusions his comments would not be reported globally.
