Obama's Inauguration Ceremony: in 12 days, 13 hours, 7 minutes, 29 seconds
The Financial Times have an interesting article titled ‘Why Democrats must choose Obama’ where they try to expand on the differences between Clinton and Obama and the ultimate choice which the Democrats are faced with.
Make no mistake, Mr Obama is a once-in-a-generation possibility. Admittedly, in many ways he is too good to be true
‘England for Obama’ is a new movement and we need your help! Our small team of contributors can’t keep up with the fast paced political landscape as much as they would like. We are currently looking for English Obama supports to contribute to this website!
Duties include writing articles, linking to articles and of course keeping up with any new press related to the race for nomination and reporting on them here.
You would also be responsible for helping to grow the ‘England for Obama’ campaign and hopefully help us to convince our cousins across the pond that their votes should go to Barack Obama!
If so, don’t hesitate, drop us a line now!
When Mr. Obama promises change, surprising numbers find the pledge credible. Despite his few years in the Senate, Mr. Obama exudes confidence and assesses the nation’s problems with a fresh eye.
Over the weekend Obama took Main in a clear victory.
After a staggering 48 hours the race currently stands at:
2,025 delegates are needed for nomination.
Tomorrow, multi-party voting begins in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC with Obama expecting to do well.
All of this was too much for Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle who was forced to stand down yesterday.
America. Please, please, please don’t mess up.
You have to vote Obama. Forget about Clinton. Vote for change, vote for difference. Vote for what can be a real revolution.
Please, please, please vote for change. England and the world want this and so do you.
Don’t mess up, lets end the war.
Don’t mess up, lets make a difference.
Don’t mess up, lets bring a wind of change to America and the world.
Don’t mess up, vote for Obama, vote for a new era, vote for what you know is best. Democrats, republicans and independents, vote for change, movement and prosperity.
“We are not as divided as our politics suggest.”
Obama closed the gap a little during Saturdays voting:
The Illinois senator won in Louisiana, Nebraska and Washington state and won caucuses in the US Virgin Islands.
Mr Obama is almost neck-and-neck with Hillary Clinton in the nationwide battle to be the party’s nominee.
Results are now:
This is of course excellent news but with Maine voting today and Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia on Tuesday the fight is still hot.
In an email to supporters Obama said:
To win, we need to bring as many people into the process as possible. We’re pushing towards 500,000 donors this year by March 4th, when Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont vote.
You can bring someone new into our campaign by promising to match their first donation. Make a matching donation now and double someone’s impact:

This race is still extremely close, and we need your support to remain competitive.
Thank you for making this possible.
Barack
The message is clear. He needs votes, he needs donations and most of all he needs the support of every Democrat yearning for change.
As English citizens we cannot donate. We also cannot or vote. But we can show support and we can follow Obamas lead and never give up.
The race is tight but Obama has the passion and drive to move forward. And with our help, he can win the nomination.
It seems that Obama has friends online:
Compare this to Clinton:
Face it, online popularity means nothing in politics. Ron Paul had and still does have a massive online backing. Unfortunately, it got him nowhere.
The simple fact of the matter is when it comes to choosing your next leader, when it comes to changing the world, you have to get up from your computer and vote.
The Telegraph reports that:
The Clinton camp is braced for Mr Obama to win a series of primary elections over the next three weeks, which they fear could hand the Illinois senator unstoppable momentum in the race for the White House.
With his momentum growing and with the help of supporters not only in the USA but from but around the globe Obama can surely win this nomination and become the next President of the United States in November.
TimesOnline published an interesting story last week while covering the ‘Super Tuesday’ voting.
It was noon in Britain: several thousand miles to the west Americans were waking up to Super Tuesday, an historic day in what is an historic contest for the Democratic presidential nomination, a contest that has excited the attention of the world,
From the embedded video its clear that around 50% of the people asked did have an idea of what was going on stateside. Sadly if they support Obama wasn’t one of the questions.
