5 Evil People Whose Past May Surprise You
9 years ago
· Obama: We
should follow the example of a New York City nurse named Menchu Sanchez. When
Hurricane Sandy plunged her hospital into darkness, her thoughts were not with
how her own home was faring – they were with the twenty precious newborns in
her care and the rescue plan she devised that kept them all safe.
· My Translations:
Our hearts no doubt go out to the families of the victims of
these mindless killings but sad as the killings are, we must not lose sight of
the many children still in urgent need of the polio vaccines the slain health
workers were administering at their point of death. Their unfinished task must
continue.
How Security
Operatives Must React To Boko Haram Insurgence.
Obama: We
should follow the example of a police officer named Brian Murphy. When a gunman
opened fire on a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, and Brian was the first to arrive,
he did not consider his own safety. He fought back until help arrived, and
ordered his fellow officers to protect the safety of the Americans worshiping
inside – even as he lay bleeding from twelve bullet wounds.
· My Translations:
The safety of the target victims must be uppermost on the mind of
security operatives.
·
On Political
Alignments and Realignments.
· Obama: “Fifty-one
years ago, John F. Kennedy declared to this Chamber that "the Constitution
makes us not rivals for power but partners for progress…”
· My Translations:
Yes, whether All Progressive Congress or other guise that alignments
and realignments may manifest in the forthcoming election, the sole objective mustn’t
be rivalry but partnership for the optimum welfare of the masses.
On Our Next Elections In 2015.
· Obama: We
should follow the example of a North Miami woman named Desiline Victor. When
she arrived at her polling place, she was told the wait to vote might be six
hours. And as time ticked by, her concern was not with her tired body or aching
feet, but whether folks like her would get to have their say. Hour after hour,
a throng of people stayed in line in support of her because, Desiline is 102
years old. And they erupted in cheers when she finally put on a sticker that
read "I Voted."
· My Translations:
Regardless of our pervasive political apathy, we must even
against all odds vote and ensure that our votes count.
On
Electoral Reforms
Obama: We
must all do our part to make sure our God-given rights are protected here at
home. That includes our most fundamental right as citizens: the right to vote.
When any Americans – no matter where they live or what their party – are denied
that right simply because they can't wait for five, six, seven hours just to
cast their ballot, we are betraying our ideals. That's why, tonight, I'm
announcing a non-partisan commission to improve the voting experience in
America. And I'm asking two long-time experts in the field, who've recently
served as the top attorneys for my campaign
· My Translations:
Nigeria needs to put in place a non-partisan commission to
improve her voting experience.
