1. Obama went to Africa to get economic advice.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.11.09)
He wants to make sure he hasn't forgotten anything in his program to make America as economically successful as Africa. All joking aside, Obama really does have the mentality that made such a mess out of Africa, his attitudes & ideas sound like they came out of 1960's & 1970's African socialists that came to power after de-colonization & totally wrecked Africa. Of course, he dresses it all up with more sophisticated rhetoric, you can't fault him on vocabulary, just the rather Orwellian way he uses those words. No doubt about it, Obama is a Third-Worlder .......
2. D-A-R-F-U-R
Arie ,   BaGolan   (07.11.09)
Appears that the US President, whose "African blood flows within," always seems to forget how to spell or refer to Darfur and the GENOCIDE the islamonazis are subjecting its citizens to!
3. Actually, we know why Obama travels a lot.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.11.09)
His popularity is dropping by the day, his approval ratings keep hitting new lows, support for his policies diminishing. These trips are partly a distraction & partly to boast his popularity. With all the economic problems now facing America, why is he going to Africa? What will visiting the Pope do for the American economy? The trip to Russia was a total waste of time, not to mention ruining America's credibility with Poland & the Czech Republic . What was accomplished at the G-8 summit? In the meantime, unemployment is going higher, people are getting very worried about uncontroled gov't. spending, there is mounting criticism over the Cap & Trade disaster, etc. etc. etc. This guy is heading down the tubes, in a year, people will wince when they hear his name.
4. #3 Good assesment. But we are wise to his diversions. He'll
end up being a 1term ,   very unpopular pres.   (07.11.09)
5. barmy obama
martin ,   stsvenage uk   (07.11.09)
je needs to travel east back to the land of his fathers = kenya and stay there. if jews are illegal in judea and samaria. what is he doing in america? what;s that about calling the kettle black to excuse thepun?
6. Too bad that the 'Urine Of The Congo' has flooded his brain.
vit ,   usa   (07.11.09)
7. Obama's choice of Ghana is excellent
Nour ,   Palestine   (07.11.09)
Not only is it one of the earliest African nations to have independence (1957) but also Ghana's been demonstrating exemplary reforms especially in the electoral process and education. Compared to Nigeria, a failed state, Ghana is a paraidse. Obama should match his words with actions and target meaninful aid programs. Why not sponsor more African students in America?
8. I make baseballs, what's it to him?
Ypip ,   Canada   (07.11.09)
9. You damn right about that, Terry
Cameron ,   USA   (07.11.09)
Populist leaders always overreach, and make an end of themselves. Definitely just 1 term in office. 4 years of this self-righteous mess is as much as we can take.
10. blood of africa
alan ,   Texas   (07.12.09)
he also has islam within him. see what he does. don't just hear what he says.
11. Starve Africa - Feed Hamas
Rafael ,   Yerushalayim, Israel   (07.12.09)
Good governance? Is that what exists in the PA and in Gaza, where Obama & Associates pour billions of dollars?
12. Obama has a real mix of DNA
zionist forever   (07.12.09)
Afrucan blood Muslims blood Kenyan blood American blood He also belives he is a divinely sent prophet so I geuss he has a little holy blood inside him. Anybody else shared their DNA with Obama? This probably explains why he believes that he can fool all of the people all of the time. Also doe Obama ever get tired of giving taxpayer money to everybody but Americans? Palestinians to help buy weapons Africa US will give more tha the rest of the world combined. In 2012 the rest of the world has come out of recession America will be deeper in it than it was when he became president because the man will be trying to help everybody but Americans. I have no problem with the US giving some support to Africa but it should be proportinal and the rest of the world make bigger contributions. Also if African Obama cares so much about democracy and regime changes why not try and do something about Africa politically? Alot of these countries living on handouts have billions in mineral wealth thats not beiong used mainly becsuse of politics. Stop trying encouraging Iranians to overthrow the ayatollahs and make Mousavi president instead help Africa get their politics. It would save alot of money and make a real difference to the world getting rid of the ayatollahs or making Mousavi president wont change much.
13. Not Even A Citizen
Dan ,   USA   (07.12.09)
The first true words the Muslim, marxist would be dictator has said in public. If he were not black he would be investigated for not being a U.S. citizen, but since he is black officials are never going to investigate and any law suites will be thrown out of court. Future generations will learn he was not an American citizen.
14. B. Hussein couldn't care less about his African "brothers"
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (07.12.09)
On his one trip to Africa/Kenya prior to becoming president B. Hussein met his half brothers/sisters and other relatives living in shacks in abject poverty. He was very cold and formal with them and hasn't been in touch with them ever since. His African aunt is about to be deported from the US on immigration issues and B. Hussein the lawyer hasn't lifted a finger for her either. Now B. Hussein wants to tell us that he cares more about unrelated Black Africans when he totally disconnected himself from his flesh and blood African family? BTW B. Hussein doesn't care much for his white side of the family either, his grandmother story is particularly painful to listen to with B. Hussein's ungratefulness to her. Only his ghastly muscular/masculine bare armed wife's mother is welcomed in their household.
15. Instead of Ghana B. Hussein should have gone to Islamic Iran
Ruon ,   F(r)a(n)kenstine   (07.12.09)
to support the protesters there against the vicious Jihadi regime. Iranians need his support much more than the Africans to throw off the yoke of this barbaric system originating in primitive Arabia
16. Obrotha shook hands with Gadaffi Duck!
two toons ,   too funny   (07.12.09)
(made ya look!)
17. yet he is doing nothing in Congo Rowanda
ghostq   (07.12.09)
and Darfur. he is no african he is an idiot.
18. It's the economy stupid
Ilan ,   Ariel   (07.12.09)
With 25% unemployment approaching in the US he might be better directed to worry about US domestic policy. In any case he has no real plans to modernized governments in Africa. Dialogue is after all just talk.
19. NEWSFLASH !!!
Peter ,   Las Vegas USA   (07.12.09)
Obama is as much African-American as he is white, so why do all the media call him African-American??? Or has everyone forgotten that his mother is white???
20. the reason he loves africa
ben ,   ramle, israel   (07.12.09)
is because his brother still lives in kenya and some of his immediate family as well as his GRANDMOTHER WHO CLEARLY STATED DURING THE ELECTIONS THAT SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS BORN IN KENYAN HOSPITAL no one has ever seen obamas original hawaian birth certificate isnt that funny. want more proof see yourself at obamacrimes.com theres more proof.
21. of course he does, he was born there
Bernie ,   formerly of Seattle   (07.12.09)
He is sitting in the White House unconstitutionally. He has no right to make any laws and none of his decisions are binding! He is just one more Illegal Alien living off US taxpayers sweat!
22. #2 Israel doesn't recognize Ukrainian Holodorm of 7 millions
observer   (07.12.09)
or even the Armenian holocaust of one million. But by recognizing Darfur, it appears that Israel has started to climb the stairs from its lowest step up. What bothers is that the army is now staging fake infiltration of Darfurians in its own custody so that the Egyptians, according to the agreement, handle those fake recent infiltration with shooting refugees who have been denied asylum by Israel. That is the favorable kind of genocide, Israel recognizes.
23. still irrelevant #22 spews nonsense to no end
better observer   (07.13.09)
ignoring Darfur is the biggest moral failure of our times and this moron supports the genocide murderous Arabs commit at this moment that can be stopped if the world gets its act together Arguing about past genocides doesn't do any good to the Black Africans who can be saved in Darfur this moron's purpose is exactly the opposite, this is why all the useless distracting and deceiving posts this moron couldn't care less for the millions currently killed if Israel and Jews in general can be put in a bad light while it has nothing to do with the ongoing massacres of millions that Muslims are engaged in
24. deceit and exploitation
nana yaa ,   Accra, Ghana   (08.17.10)
let us not b e deceived by the lying tongues of the west,as African people. we already know how long they have deceived, miseducated and exploited us leaving us nothing. yet they claim to have come to civilize us, which is a big lye.the visit of Obama in Ghana is i see as a spy on Ghana's natural resources, like the discovered oil. this is because of the withdrawal of Nigeria's partnership from America. some of us know this as a way that America want to maneuver her way and final put sanctions on mother Ghana again after 1965 just like they have done to Zimbabwe.
