I had no doubt that Senator Barrack Obama was going to deliver a message that will win the hearts, souls, and minds of millions across the globe, and I was not disappointed one bit with the soul-inspiring and mind-feeding words that fell from the lips of the man I believe, is going to be the next President of the United States of America.

Keeping my mind and eyes open with a cup of coffee was worth it and at the end of it all, when Michelle Obama walked onto the stage with her two daughters to hug her husband and say to him (that is what I reckon she said to her husband) “I will be the woman who will be behind your very successful tenure as President of the United States”, tears rolled down my cheek.

I am no softy; and those who know me know that. I am human, and Barrack and his wife succeeded in touching another side of me.

The speech of Senator Obama was one hell of a masterpiece.

The President-in-waiting, or is it, Commander-in-chief, did what he was expected to do with artistry; he started off in a very humble manner, thanking Democrats for making him their Leader, and accepting graciously to lead them to victory.

Senator Obama went on to thank those he needed to thank, especially his lovely wife, Michelle, for all the support.

The Leader of the Democratic Party then went into enumerating the problems facing America, went after Senator John McCain and what he and his Republican Party have done to destroy America, what John McCain represents, and how he (Barrack) was more than ready to face McCain any day anywhere for them to square it off for Americans to know whom to give their mandate to, to become the C-in-C, who will give Americans the chance to give life to their dreams.

Of course, Senator Obama, rolled out his Better America agenda, in a manner that made me very proud of NDC Leader and Presidential Candidate, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, for the way he rolled out his Better Ghana agenda when the NDC launched its campaign at the National Theatre.

Speaking on the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's continuously reverberating “I Have A Dream” speech, Barrack Obama delivered a speech that must be making Martin Luther smile from the land of the unknown.

45 years ago, Barrack Obama was only two years; he has however lived the dream of Dr. King and has proven that dreams can come true.

For me, what really hit home hard, was the bit about America having had enough of the maladministration of cowboy George W. Bush, and that, eight years of the Republicans and their anti-people policies is enough.

Speaking to millions of Americans, Senator Obama said the election was about the future of America and not him; and that if the people of the United States want four more years of the negative change the Bush/Chiney Administration, they are free to go that way.

The Illinois Senator was however quick to stand firm and say that America deserves better than the Bush/Chiney era, and that the Obama/Biden ticket shall give to America what she deserves, and allow Americans to breathe life into their dreams.

Relating happenings in America to happenings in Ghana as regards America having had enough of the maladministration of George Bush and how Bush has not only eaten up the reserves that Bill Clinton bequeathed to him, but how he has also destroyed the American economy and killed the image of America, I hold on strongly to my conviction that President Kufuor and his NPP have destroyed Ghana just as Bush has destroyed America, and an Akufo-Addo government shall move us forward into more misery and poverty.

According to the Hon. Alban Sumani Bagbin, it is only when the elephant is fatally wounded that it begins to behave like a kangaroo, and I agree with him 100%.

Of course, we also know that the kangaroo has a 4-6 year lifespan, and so having been around for close to eight years, the NPP kangaroos have overstayed their welcome.

Positive Change Chapter 1&2 have translated into extreme negative change for the majority of Ghanaians, and there is no way the majority of Ghanaians are going to allow Akufo-Addo to move us forward into the plethora of suffering and hardship that President Kufuor has hung around the neck of the nation.

Nana Akufo-Addo would have us believe that President Kufuor has done a marvellous job of managing the affairs of State and that he (Akufo-Addo), will continue with the “good” works of President Kufuor and move us forward.

I agree that Ghana must move forward but Kwame Nkrumah's Ghana will not be allowed to move forward in the wrong direction. Crime, drugs, despair, extreme immorality, debauchery, massive corruption, outright thievery, a loss of a sense of direction, the killing of the nation's conscience, 50% of students failing the BECE, destruction of the local fishing industry, etc, are the unique selling points of the NPP and we must not allow Akufo-Addo to move us forward in the same destructive direction.

Indeed, Ghana started moving forward from the days of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and that forward march was truncated by the Danquah/Busia political tradition, when they collaborated with the imperialist forces to overthrow the CPP government.  Continued    Source: Koku Anyidoho
