Sorry Hungry , I didn't mean to insult your leader that can do no wrong.
He has done a real bang up job so far. Geithner is the only tax "cheat" left.Obama thought it would be best to have a wolf watch the hen house.Another great descision.







Six months in, and he's done five times MORE for America, than Bush did in eight years.

But to be fair, Bush sure did a lot more TO America. That recovery will take a long, long time.

Maybe once Obungler fixes Africa he will come back here and fix his own mess. His whole administration is nothing but tax crooks but most of them resigned.







If MOST of them are "tax crooks", (sic - should be "cheats"), then how could they have resigned? Can they still be in his administration, if they resigned?

Are you getting your "Fox News Talking Points" mixed up?

Too funny. Telling African leaders to end tyranny and corruption is like telling the sun to quit shining. Ain't gonna happen.

They will never stop until they are made to stop by their own people,
The people will never make them stop until they became "EDUCATED" Take the internet in there by satelite and pass out those free notebooks that the rich guy made available. Pass out books and other stuff for free and sit back and watch for about 5 years whe those kids grow up, Then it will hit the fan.

Obama who is racially mixed doesn't understand the problem of Africa, and is acting like an hypocrite, because what the USA did in Iraq and Afghanistan is tyranny. he must call on the USA imperial system to end tyranny first.

If the USA was not tyrannical why would it do whatever it likes in the world with impunity? Trying to blame the oppressed Africans for tyranny is something only an enemy of Africa can say.

Africans are still dominated by the countries that brutally enslaved Africa and those countries are the one destabilizing Africa and imposing puppets that become dictators with impunity.

What Obama should do is help Africa decolonize because it never decolonized, decolonization mean Africa must stop speaking the oppressor languages, should free it economy from being totally controlled by the enemy of Africa. Obama by not attending the UN conference on racism showed Africa that he doesn't care about racism the African people are heavily victims of.

We tell Obama we know you have the traditional interest of the USA at heart and you cannot fool us.
