"Meanwhile, in his spare time...
...Obama seems to have brought peace to the Niger Delta. No joke.
Reuters:
Rebels who have stepped up attacks on Nigeria's oil industry in the last month said on Sunday they were considering a ceasefire appeal by U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has launched five attacks on oil facilities in the Niger Delta since it resumed a campaign of violence in April, forcing Royal Dutch Shell to shut more than 164,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd).
"The MEND command is seriously considering a temporary ceasefire appeal by Senator Barack Obama. Obama is someone we respect and hold in high esteem," the militant group said in an e-mailed statement."
This is pretty amazing. If this doesn't show that Obama is the one who should be president, I don't know what else will. While Hillary is pulling all of her shit and dodging the issues like she supposedly dodged bullets (lol,) Obama has been working on this and it looks like he might have succeeded. If he can succeed in doing this, I think he can succeed at bringing
us some form of peace, as well.
