Dunia haina dogo.Kuna wambeya wanaodai eti huyo "nzi" alikuwa ni skadi lililotumwa na Dick Cheney kwa Obama.Kuna wengine wanadai huyo wala hakuwa "nzi" bali roboti lilotengenezwa na majasusi wa Kimarekani kupeleka ujumbe kwa Kim Jong Ill na mikwara yake ya nyuklia.Wapo wanaomhusisha "nzi" huyo na uchaguzi wa Irani.....

A COMEDIAN who had a walk-on part in the Rutles film spoof of the Beatles is poised to deliver a 60-seat super-majority to the Democrats in the Senate as President Barack Obama consolidates his grip on the levers of power.
Al Franken, 57, a satirist turned Democrat politician, is expected to be proclaimed the winner of the protracted race for the US Senate in Minnesota, in time to give Obama a free hand to appoint a Supreme Court replacement for retiring Justice David Souter without fear of Republican blocking tactics.
If Franken wins, Obama will hold an unassailable majority after Senator Arlen Specter’s sudden defection from the Republicans to the Democrats last week. A 60-seat majority would deprive the Republicans of the ability to scupper appointments and legislation by filibustering...continue

1 When presidents get invited to the annual Gridiron Dinner for a night of political skits among the Washington press corps, they always go. Not this one, who became the first sitting President politely to decline.2 We have had lots of canine companions on the rugs of the Oval Office, but Obama's is the first first whose name, Bo, is also his master's initials. Better still, Portuguese water dogs come with fine Democrat credentials – Senator Ted Kennedy has litters of them
3 Americans have become accustomed to knowing that the so-called "enemy combatants" were being held at a safe distance – at Guantanamo Bay. But BO comes into office and instantly declares he will close it within a year.
4 Never mind the Bush policy of hostility to Iran, BO has been making tentative overtures, asking Tehran to cooperate on Afghanistan and edging towards face-to-face talks on its nuclear programme without preconditions.
5 In his first formal press conference, BO took a question from a correspondent of The Huffington Post, the political blog site. In this White House, old journalism must compete with new journalism.
6 As soon as the first cherry buds were bursting in Washington, Michelle Obama, accompanied by local school children, was breaking sod for the First Family's organic vegetable patch.
7 America is no longer shrugging its shoulders at the drug cartel violence shaking Mexico. BO and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged that the US is fueling the problem, supplying guns and consuming the drugs.
8 The Beast. The new first limousine – a Cadillac with more armour than your average tank and bullet-proof windows – has already prowled the streets of London, Strasbourg, Prague and Istanbul. And Pennsylvania Avenue on Inauguration Day.
9 Rush Limbaugh is the conservative blowhard on the radio who millions of Americans long ago learned to love or hate. But now his visibility, ratings and influence have soared. Some even tag him the unofficial head of the Republican opposition.

According to tomorrow's New Statesman, Barack Obama was unimpressed by his encounter with David Cameron earlier this year and commented: "What a lightweight!"
According to James Macintyre's report, Cameron's attempt to stress his pro-American and Eurosceptic credentials did not meet with Obama's approval. According to Macintyre's diplomatic sources, the Democratic candidate was "distinctly unimpressed" and labelled Cameron a lightweight.
Macintyre notes that 48 hours earlier Obama had delivered a speech in Berlin stressing "the importance of Europe's role in our security and our future".
Following the meeting with Cameron, Obama apparently asked officials for more information on Tory Euroscepticism. Macintyre also speculates that Cameron's support for the Iraq war – which Obama opposed – did not help the relationship either.
The report is sure to dismay Cameron and damage his attempts to portray himself as a world-class statesman – not to mention relations between Obama's incoming administration and a possible future Tory government.
When Cameron met the then-presidential candidate in July, the two held an hour of discussions, and Obama also met shadow cabinet members William Hague and George Osborne.
Photographs showed the pair looking relaxed and comfortable with each other, and Cameron gave Obama gifts including a box of CDs by some of the Conservative leader's favourite British musicians, among them the Smiths, Radiohead, Gorillaz and Lily Allen, and a copy of Hague's recent biography of the anti-slavery campaigner, William Wilberforce.
A senior Labour source told the Statesman: "Obama will want to work with a united Europe, not the 27 divided nations envisaged by a David Cameron, William Hague and [the Eurosceptic backbencher] Bill Cash vision of Europe. Tory isolationism is the last thing Obama's new foreign policy team will want from London."

US president-elect Barack Obama has named longtime lawyer Eric Holder to be attorney general, which if confirmed would make him the first African-American ever to hold the post, US media said. Skip related content
Holder, who served as deputy attorney general under former president Bill Clinton, has accepted Obama's invitation to head the Justice Department, Newsweek magazine said, citing legal sources close to the presidential transition.
Obama's transition team did not immediately comment on the report, which was later confirmed by NBC news.
"Obama offered Holder the job and he accepted," Newsweek said, adding that "the announcement is not likely until after Obama announces his choices to lead the Treasury and State departments."
Holder would face Senate confirmation hearings in order to officially take on the post, which would put him at the head of the Justice Department as the US government's chief law enforcement officer.
Holder was co-chief along with Caroline Kennedy of Obama's vice-presidential selection process and, like Obama, is a fellow alumnus of Columbia University in New York.
"He was on the short list from the beginning and obvious choice," Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff told CNN.
"Also, a symbolic choice. This will be the first, he will be the first African-American to head the Justice Department, and that's a pretty big deal in its own right."
Holder 57, is a partner in the Washington law firm of Covington and Burling. He has served as a superior court judge in the nation's capital and was named the capital's US attorney by former president Clinton before taking the post of deputy attorney general under Janet Reno in 1997.
Isikoff, who broke the story, said that the Obama team likely chose Holder because of his experience in the Justice Department and viewed him as a stark contrast to those who served under President George W. Bush.
Holder "lives and breathes the culture of the Justice Department. He served for years in the public integrity section of the Justice Department, and prosecuting political corruption, Republicans and Democrats," said Isikoff.
"One of the big criticisms of the Bush team both in the first term and the second term is that ... they weren't a part of the Justice Department, and they didn't quite understand the very unique culture at Justice. Eric Holder does."
The current US attorney general is Michael Mukasey. During his eight years in office, Bush has previously named Alberto Gonzalez and John Ashcroft to the post.
Gonzalez resigned in 2007 amid controversy over his role in and tstimony he gave to lawmakers about the firings of US prosecutors.
Ashcroft, who oversaw a series of anti-terror regulations in the aftermath of the Spetember 11, 2001 attacks, resigned after Bush's first term ended.
According to reports, Obama's vetting team wanted to make sure that controversy over Holder's role in the presidential pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich at the end of the Clinton administration would not prevent his confirmation.
When the Clinton White House asked Holder for his view on the potential pardon of commodities trader Rich in January 2001, Holder gave it a "neutral leaning towards favorable."
Clinton pardoned Rich. Critics said the move showed that Rich had bought his freedom, because Rich's wife had donated amply to Clinton's campaign.
Holder later came under fire for not raising enough questions about whether or not Rich should have been pardoned, but was not implicated of any wrongdoing.
"After reviewing the evidence in the case, and checking with staffers on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Obama aides and Holder both decided the issue was highly unlikely to prove an obstacle to his confirmation," Newsweek said, citing one source close to the process.
Holder has said he met Obama at a dinner party in 2004 and was energized by the Illinois senator's campaign to become America's first black president.
"I think we share a world view," Holder told American Lawyer magazine in a June profile.
Obama "is not defined by his race. He's proud of it, cognizant of the pernicious effect that race has had in our history but not defined by it."
Holder was born in New York City. His father was an immigrant from Barbados who came to the United States when he was a teenager.
Holder majored in American history at Columbia College before earning his law degree from Columbia Law School in 1976.
He currently lives in Washington with his wife Sharon, who works as an obstetrician, and their three children.

Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham,RIGHT,and grandfather, Stanley Dunham.CLICK HERE for more about her death.
Nyumbani kwa Obama kijijini Kogelo,Kenya.Kwa mujibu wa ripota wa CNN aliyeko kijiji cha Kogelo huko Kenya,ambacho kinahusiana kwa karibu sana na asili ya Barack Obama,kuna kundi la viumbe-hai wanaoombea mgombea wa urais huyo asishinde kesho ili viumbe hao wasalimike.Hao ni ng'ombe ambao wanaandaliwa kwa ajili ya sherehe kubwa pindi Obama atapotangazwa mshindi.Ni dhahiri kwamba asiposhinda,ng'ombe hao nao watasalimika.Who would you have felt more sorry for?
Wakati ng'ombe hao wakisubiri hatima yao,sangoma mmoja kijijini hapo ametabiri kuwa Obama atashinda uchaguzi huo wa kesho.Of course,sangoma huyo-John Radima-sio pundit wa major TV networks au pollster kutoka Gallup,lakini ameweza kukamata attention ya vyombo vya habari vya kimataifa.
Kwa upande wa grandmother wa Obama,yeye anasema hawezi ku-take things for granted hadi hapo mshindi atapotangazwa,na anafuatilia kwa karibu maendeleo ya mjukuu wake kwenye runinga inayotumia solar power kwa vile hakuna umeme katika makazi yake.Sarah Onyango Obama,wenye miaka 86,anasema kwamba katika soka huwezi kutabiri ushindi mpaka goli lipatikane.Wakati bibi Sarah (pichani chini) akisubiria kwa hamu matokeo ya kesho,upanuzi wa uwanja wa ndege wa Kisumu umewafanya baadhi ya watu kutania kwamba huenda ni maandalizi ya ujio wa Air Force One ikiwa na Obama.
