document.write("Obama is keen to impose his vision and values as president elect of the USA. Opening the door to negotiations with somebody hell bent on keeping his power(not government) who disrespected the principles of democracy(the very substance of Obama's win) is simply out of the question. It would discredit all that Obama has sought to achieve till now.<br /><br />Mugapie is an embaressment to all leaders who respect the principle of democracy. When you have the same government for two terms of office it starts becomming more dictatorial than democratic. Mugapie has had 30 years to shape Zimbabwe and he has wasted this. Now he has even cost Zimbabwe more than whatever he initially brought to the table. <br /><br />Sometimes one must have the class to know when to walk away. Mugapie is not yet that mature inspite of being the age that he is.. Thinker");
document.write("<h5>Dream on</h5>");
document.write("Does this sleazeball opportunist honestly think that he can get Obama in his back pocket as he did with mbeki? I think not. I like to think that the world has moved on & mugape's dictatorial style of government no longer has a place and that Obama will dismiss mugape's advances with the contempt that he deserves, but unfortunately, like all parasites, he is notoriously hard to get rid of.... Bob");
document.write("<h5>Strange</h5>");
document.write("I find this strange that the black people of Africa think that because the US president to be is black, that they are suddenly big brothers, and that he would bend over backwards to help Africa. He may yet, but the black people of Africa believe that they are owed all the time. Its the same as being in a foreign country, meeting a black person, and expecting him to understand Zulu or some indigenous SA language. . Fred");
document.write("<h5>BOB</h5>");
document.write("What does Sifilis Bob actually think he will achieve with this ? Just because Obama has African roots does he think that he (Obama) will be willing to deal with puke like him ?. Muerte");
document.write("<h5>Mugabe</h5>");
document.write("Sorry old Bob. you missdeed the train. Barak is not interested in people of your kin. mass killer.tirant. by your own edmition worth then Hitler.and you are so sick in your mind he will not understand you. maybe take a life time vacation in the DRC. Kabila owes you that much.or just go with no forewording address. DISAPEAR PLEASE.. Daniel");
document.write("<h5>USA/ZIM???</h5>");
document.write("Preposterous!!! Mugabes government?!! What a laugh!! Obama ain't got time for this old sleaze ball (Mugabe). Mugabe is nothing trying to be something.. citizen");

document.write("The audacity of Mugabe knows no limits!. jaycee");
document.write("<h5>Who is Bob?</h5>");
document.write("Who is Bob? The elected party is MDC and Tsangerai. Despot Bob the world does not recognise you except for the hasbeen you never were. Get lost you live in a failed state - your failure. Obama only deals with the democratically minded not crack pot mass killers like you who began his rule walking over 20 000 corpses you had killed!<br />. judgie");
