LAGOS, Nigeria ? The performers pounded on animal-skin drums, the singer howled praise for Barack Obama, and the audience of fist-bumping supporters of the U.S. presidential candidate joined in the chorus: ?We can do it! Yes we can!?
The shindig, held by a group calling itself ?Africans for Obama 08,? drew hundreds of people from the Nigerian business elite. Each paid more than $2,000 to munch on grilled snails, sip from flutes of Veuve Cliquot and Moet & Chandon and join in a lively, if poorly executed, series of the ?fist bumps? popularized by Obama and his wife, Michelle.
Typical strees in Nigera

How is a a <s>terrorist jab</s> fist bump poorly executed? When you miss? When you break a knuckle?
Russell Brand calls George Bush a 'retard' at MTV award
If his aim was to be noticed by America, Russell Brand more than achieved his goal last night as he ranted that President Bush was a ?retarded cowboy? while hosting the MTV awards.
The British comedian, who is a virtual unknown in America, left the cr?me of the music world stunned as he championed Barack Obama, ran down George Bush and made lewd jokes about the Christian pop band Jonas Brothers.
Ignoring the renowned patriotism of Americans, Brand told the Hollywood audience they must vote for Barrack Obama ?on behalf of the world?, before insinuating that America had lower standards than Britain when it came to picking leaders

Gordon Brown has triggered a potential row with John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, after apparently backing Barack Obama - breaking convention not to get involved in foreign elections.
