Who do Ghanians support: Obama or McCain?
Accra, GHANA - As we drove down the streets of Accra, we ran into all kinds of folks selling goods on the streets. Frankly, it looked just like the south side of Chicago!
I ran into one guy who was selling Obama wristbands, and I decided to ask him and others who they were backing in the States for president.
One guy was so funny, I told him I wanted an Obama, McCain and George W. Bush wristband, and he stitched them right on the spot!
I'll load that video later, but this guy sang a song to Obama in French. Translate it for me and tell me what he said!
Dr. Ro: How absolutely marvelous!!! :>) Thanks for the REALITY!!! You are good to your "peeps". :>) :>) :>)

You made me laugh this morning. That was a great rap and capture.
The guy should be one of the folks from Ivory Coast or Togo on the streets in Ghana so don't expect him to rap in English.
There is a real Obama Reggae Music in Ghana so ask for it and hit it on WVON.

Sorry, I do not speak French right now, but by the grace of GOD ALMIGHTY I will be able to speak all original languages soon. Everyone will hear the GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ALMIGHTY according to CHRIST Jesus, in their original 'tongue'. In fact, my middle name means 'One Who Is MERCIFUL' in FRENCH, and my third name means 'One Who is DUTIFUL' in LATIN. My first name means 'MOTHER' in some GHANIAN language and in Hebrew, 'GRAND-MOTHER' in Greek, and 'ENERGETIC' in English.
My LAST name is: Not-Mr.Scott's-Slave! Have fun!
To GOD ALMIGHTY Be The GLORRY!!!!!!!

Translation: YO Obama, you are in my heart because you are my producer. This is what I like: you are the brother. Continue to be courageous. Advance in business. Advance in your work and you will make sure America changes. If America change, remember Africa. Because we young Africans are suffering.
