I've spent a lot of hours in the last 10 days or so with different guides, drivers, etc. here in Zambia. Virtually everyone says that all Africans are very disappointed with Obama. Not only has he done nothing, but they say his "let the government take care of you" message is confusing and contrary to what the US has taught in the past.

They all love GWB. He's been here several times post-president, following up on his programs. One guide said he's been here helping build houses. No camera crews, no media....they believe he sincerely cares about them.

So he’s retiring to the homestead... Just joking. The sooner the better though.

I am hoping his Post-Presidency actually happens. Meaning that he leaves office.

>>> .... unlike the initiatives of his predecessors, which are largely humanitarian, Obama is carving out a niche for himself as “the proponent for and advocate for a new kind of economic relationship in the developing world.”

This is what is worrisome. The effectiveness of humanitarian aids in the past is debatable. But Obama seemed less thought out and more ambitious (empty slogan with much more demanding money), a dangerous combination. What the heck is ‘a new kind of economic relationship’?

Anybody still remember US Senator Obama’s one and only co-sponsored bill, Global Poverty Act?

Earlier this year, he launched his “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative aimed at boosting opportunities for boys and young men of color

George Obama would probably find this ironic, if he had internet in his tin shack...

“...talking to Obama about the Tea Party and its anti-government rhetoric: “I called it the politics of resentment, and he said, ‘Bob, I think you’re right, there’s something subterranean about the way these people process things’.”

The Tea Party practices the politics of resentment and subterranean thinking? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

The best thing OBozo could have done to help the black community would have been to encourage them to reject the negative aspects of black culture and promote self sufficiency and achievement. He decided to do the opposite.

“Key to the success of ensuring that such programs endure beyond Obama’s presidency is involving corporate America in public-private partnerships.”

Eleanor Clift: Historian

One thing for certain is that, when phony historians like Eleanor Clift tell/retell the history of events or of a period to time, you’ll won’t be getting the truth.

Sorry but I put very little value on comments from people who won’t reveal where they got the information. Any one can say anything if they don’t give critical information as to why their statements are true!!!

“Gee, for a minute there I thought he was going to describe how he plans to decorate his jail cell.”

I have no expectations that the disaster that is Barack Obama will ever be held accountable for his incompetence and malicious assaults on our country.

Obama has done more to enslave blacks than anyone in the South ever did.

There were two children: one born in Indonesia (1957), who had worked the streets of Jakarta as a small child and was adopted by Lolo Soetoro BEFORE he met the Dunhams in Hawaii; and SADO’s son by BHO, who was born in Mombasa, Kenya, according to witnesses.

BHO2 was adopted by Lolo Soetoro about the time he married SADO. He suffered injuries from a fall from a tree in the Soetoro family’s Jakarta garden that resulted in his walking with a permanent limp. He died sometime before 1976 in Hawaii.

The older child assumed the younger dead child’s identity, Soebarkhah (Barry Soetoro), and attended Punahou from 1976-1980. Our tax dollars paid for it.
