SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT BECAUSE I AM BARACK (BLESSED) This is the day my life changed and I went from a dove to a crow. Damn man this word crow keeps appearing today eCROW...i mean eko.... Now...this is an email trail from back in 2008 when I met my fraternity brother Robert Hillman. Robert was Obamas next door neighbor in 2008...and what you will read below will stick in you like a crow...damn thou! Quick clarification though, word on the street is that I wrote a part of Obamas Yes We Can speech and that it appeared in the speech word for word. But in reality, there is a bit more of a nuance, for the speech that my words made it into was not the Yes We Can speech, it was actually the Obama South Carolina victory speech. And my words were used not word for word, but more as a theme. Check it out below, compare what I wrote to what Obama spoke in his South Carolina speech. ----- Original Message ---- From: Pitts, Michael To: Theodorefikre@yahoo Sent: Friday, January 25, 2008 11:54:46 PM Subject: Re: Speech Idea Your speech ideas have made it to Baracks sister and Valerie Jarrett (one of his advisors). My good friends who are on campus with him as we speak loved your ideas. Good stuff, Team!!!!

Brother Fikre sent this to me last night and I passed it on to my guy in BOs camp and within minutes Baracks sister and close adviser had read it and thought it was outstanding. Not sure if it will make it in tonights Victory speech but the Ques are making themselves heard. Once again good stuff Bro. Fikre.
