JAH!?


Barack Obama had become the President of the United States for nearly 2 months, a country used to be the greatest nation in the world, prior the war of anti terrorism, prior the 911 incident, prior the 'Financial Tsunami' and even more so, prior the stupid jerk George W Bush become president.

Few decades ago, during the heat of Rastafarian Movement, everyone believed that Haile Selassie I (Ethiopia's regent from 1916 to 1930 and Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974). is a true divine, Messiah of the black people. But what happened eventually? On 28 August 1975, the state media officially reported publicly that the "ex-monarch" Haile Selassie I had died on 27 August of "respiratory failure" following complications from a prostate operation. Nothing fansinating had happened.
I recall a few months ago, I had written about the believe of Rastafarian, where they believe their Messiah should be a black person, leading them. Now, Barack Obama had became the President of this former great nation, do they think that he is Jah?

Obviously, Obama is only half black, his father is Barack Obama, Sr, a Luo from Kenya, whom met his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, an American of European descent while studying in Hawaii, not the same as Haile Selssie I, who is the heir to a dynasty that traced its origins to the 13th century, and from there by tradition back to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Well bloodline may not be an important issue though?! It is not the matter where you are from, it is no longer necessay to have 'blue blood' to save the world. The only thing to think about is whether Barack can do what saviour does, saving our soul? saving our lives? .....I think I only wish him to save the world economy.
So, can Obama save us, we are yet to see. Jah bless America!
