>If I was to post every article I’ve recently read in my endless fascination with their elections, you’d think this blog were American…
So I’ve decided to put them in one post. Let’s see…
- There’s the Snopes.com page partially debunking 38 (or 50) lies Obama is alleged to have told…
- There’s the one where the West Wing reflects real life a little too closely…
- The one where the rednecks decide our collective destiny…
- & the one that makes an interesting suggestion why Obama is not making more gains although the mood favours the Democrats…
Sorry about the emphasis on America’s elections. I follow Ghana’s too… I do!
The Americans seem to take their elections a little more seriously than we do here though, with our kangaroo dances and bodyguards getting into petty catfights.
Ghanaian politics (and politicians) can be rather puerile at times, which gets depressing because reality out here is frankly more…well… real than elsewhere and probably deserves a little more seriousness than it is currently given.
Consider my fascination with the American polls a form of much-needed escape.

>The Snopes.com page seems to contain as many inaccuracies as the ones it attributes to Obama!The statements made about Raila Odinga and ethno-linguistic Swahili are at best highly contestable. Xenophobia and inaccuracy are not the best tools to contest a man’s (or woman’s) ideals.
