Obama seeks Hanuman's blessings in race to White House

[Guest guest]

For some reason when the Press Trust of India says ³It¹s a fact² I am not

convinced. If it¹s true, then yes this might bode well for those monkeys

being exported from Nepal and other countries for experimentation in US

Labs. However, I am sure that many folks at Elephant Polo games are also

wearing a Good-Luck Ganesh around their neck too, so, having a charm does

not make a person charming.

 

But here is a statement that perhaps shows that Animals will be better off

with an Obama whitehouse then a Bush/McCain one:

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8U74PLG0 & show_article=1. Obama

also apparently sponsored a bill while in the Senate that would prevent

horse slaughter in Illinois. But the Bill never passed, so not sure what

inferences can be made there, even if he indeed ³sponsored² the bill or was

also a participant it¹s death. Dekalb's Cavel International Horse

Slaughtering Plant may still be open for business ­ even rebuilding after a

fire; but perhaps Merrit can report and confirm.

 

It will be a great day when Animal Rights becomes a mainstream political

issue that politicians would debate openly in America and other democracies

around the world. So yes, go ahead and push ur candidates to answer

questions in public about their stance ­ then let us all know how it goes...

 

Cheers,

Jigs

Obama seeks Hanuman's blessings in race to White House

 

 

 

 

Can this news below bring any hope of anything good happening to the

thousands of monkeys in US labs?

It's unusual. But, it's a fact. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic

party's presidential nominee, is seeking the blessings of Lord Hanuman in

his battle for the White House.

carries a ''tiny monkey god'' apparently representing

''Hanuman'' with him for good luck.

 

A recent photo posted on Time's White House Photo of the Day collection

shows the first ever Black-American nominee in the race to the White House

carries with him a bracelet belonging to an American soldier deployed in

Iraq, a gambler's lucky chit, a tiny monkey god, tiny Madonna and child.

 

That ''tiny monkey god,'' of course, appears to be a statue of the Hindu

monkey god, Hanuman, says the posting but editors and the photographer has

not identified it as such.

 

Obama, whose father was a Kenyan and mother a white woman from Kansas, spent

initial days of his life in Indonesia where Hinduism is a popular religion.

McCain carries a lucky nickel, and a lucky rubber band, which he wears

around his wrist.
