I suppose you are forgetting that Mandela was fighting against apartheid, do you remember how stupid and ignorant our country was years ago, when we had racial segregation? well he was fighting against something even worse....Do you see what you are insinuating about Obama? Insinuating that something good must be bad...makes NO sense, and no WEREN'T all taught that communism was evil because I grew up in a time way after the Cold War and WW2, so I got to make my own mind up instead of being feed what people wanted me to think.

so it doesnt matter to you at all about the white people who are now being prosecuted in south africa? just what did mandella acomplish? why has south africa declined so much since communist rule by the ANC? you both sound like politically correct sheople? and obamas and mandellas politics are very similar,i still do not receed from that. look at south africa now! s.africa is in a pitiful state plus the white population in s.africa lives in constant fear of racially motivated crimes of the most horendous sort. thank you mr.mandella!

do you still believe that communism is evil? are you still in the cold war era where the world was divided into two sides? one was saying the other was evil. it was one of the worst part of our history. it is better to move on and learn to respect other's views and way of life. not all the things that we were taught are right. now that we can think for ourselves, we know better. and thanks heaven that we have forum, online venues for discussions such as this to enlighten our minds and hearts about other people.

is that a joke? in that case lets get onto the case of mother teresa. if it's not where exactly are you getting this from? mandela fought for equality in south africa, peacefully, and succeeded after years of jail, obama is just another, vaguely liberal, us president. you don't know what communism ended up being or you wouldn't post something like this.

ok ddzdvd. i'm going to go through this:
the first thing you need to know is that i'm not from the us or a citizen of some obscure police state
communism isn't actually evil - it's a nice idea (fairness basically) and occurs when the majority of a population think they're being oppressed. it doesn't take into account how nasty people can be when they have a position of near absolute power. in other words it's naive, and to be honest on the stupid side. but not evil.
mandela had ideas about fairness, obviously racial ones in particular and in the end it was achieved. it wasn't communism.
your president is pretty average. ok he's part black but apart from that he diesn't seem that much different from the other sort of liberal ones you've had. but i guess comparing him to world-wide figures of admiration won't adversely affect his popularity
