Nicaraguan leader calls Obama's campaign 'revolutionary'


The Associated Press
Published: February 14, 2008


MANAGUA, Nicaragua: President Daniel Ortega, who led the 1979
revolution in Nicaragua, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a
"revolutionary" phenomenon in the United States.

"It's not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the
U.S. ... but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary
change," the Sandinista leader said Wednesday night as he accepted an
honorary doctorate from an engineering university.

Ortega led a Soviet-backed government that battled U.S.-supported
Contra rebels before he lost power in a 1990 election. He returned to
office last year via the ballot box.

In statements broadcast on Sandinista Radio La Primerisima, Ortega
said he has "faith in God and in the North American people, and above
all in the youth, that the moment of great change in the U.S. will
come and it will act differently, with justice and equality toward all
nations."

Obama, a senator from Illinois, is locked in a tight race with Sen.
Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

Ortega also called Obama a spokesman for the millions of Central
American and Mexican citizens who migrate to the U.S. in search of
work, though polls indicate most Latino voters so far have favored
Clinton over Obama.

Also Wednesday, Ortega gave approval to various army officials to
receive training at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security
Cooperation, operated by the U.S. Defense Department in Fort Benning,
Georgia -- even as he said he would continue to lobby for the school's
closure.

The president claims that members of the now-defunct National Guard
who were trained at the school, formerly known as the School of the
Americas, were involved in torture. Human rights groups say graduates
went on to commit abuses throughout Latin America.

The U.S. military has acknowledged that some graduates committed
crimes after attending the School of the Americas, but that no cause-
and-effect relationship has ever been established.

Ortega did not explain why he approved the training, but said he would
try to ensure officials did not turn into "torturers and killers."

When socialists endorse Obama you think that proves there socialists but
when racists endorse Ron Paul you clam it is a media smear campaign. Double
standards anyone?
