The breakneck pace of this trip is enough to make you dizzy. Or maybe I’m just getting a little seasick.
Look at how we’ve been spinning just since we arrived in South Africa:
President Barack Obama on Sunday will announce a new initiative to double access to electric power in sub-Saharan Africa, part of his effort to build on the legacy of equality and opportunity forged by his personal hero, Nelson Mandela.
It is my understanding that in order to “build on the legacy of the equality and opportunity” of Nelson’s he intends to spread the wealth around by giving them the power that he’s eliminating back at home by regulating coal fired electrical generation plants out of existence.

Something else Big Guy has in common with his personal hero; love of the grape,
and a penchant for hiding his writings. Or at least he hid them up to the point that he decided to “write” his first autobiography, Dreams From My Father, in order to launch his very successful political career. Which, when you think about it, was a much smarter career path than spending 18 years in the hoosegow.
Still, even when he did choose to write for public purposes, BO, in solidarity with his hero, still kept some things hidden by creating “composite” characters in order to protect the identities of his “girlfriends”.
Following the tour, Obama will deliver what the White House has billed as the signature speech of his weeklong trip at the University of Cape Town, an address that will be infused with memories of Mandela.
As well as a few self-referential examples of how he was inspired by his personal hero to do great things himself as a community organizer.
Nelson fights against apartheid, Bo rounds up votes for Democratic drain commissioner.

It is my understanding that in addition to our coal, Big Guy intends to ship to Africa all the tasty fatty, salty, sugary treats now banned from school vending programs by Lady M and Ag Secretary Vilsack.
Obama has visited Robben Island before as a U.S. senator. But since being elected as the first black American president, Obama has drawn inevitable comparisons to Mandela, making Sunday's visit particularly poignant.
How Mandela spent his youth. How Barry spent his youth.

Unlike being a citizen of the United States, which, as we all know, remains to this day a racist country. Not withstanding the fact that we have an African King and Queen:
For the sake of clarity, this is our African Queen.
Be sure to watch “Keeping Up With the Obamas” as we wrap up season 5! Running daily on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and Ms.NBC.
I always go to freerepublic homepage and click drudge and newsmax.
Not sure if it rakes in the $20’s you posted.
God bless capitalism if it does.
To have you pay the courtesy of actually visiting his website, which gives him a little quid for your pro quo.
So you’re saying basically he’s using Free Republic for free advertising.
Some drama queens around here don’t like capitalism.
Their only gift to society is making a mountain out of a molehill.
Some wankers around here like to coddle blogpimps.
Take a hike humaboner
Yesterday you were given such a shellacking you’re a fire hazard.
Is that what all that whining was?
I thought it was mostly you stamping your little footies and throwing a fit.
If whining was a art we would call you Picasso.
A queer and his wookie abroad and disgracing a disgraced nation!
Just like a thousand other news venues.
I suppose you’re mad at Drudge because he only posts headlines.
For somebody taking multi-million dollar vacations every other month, on other people's dimes, she sure doesn't appear very happy.
Being a beard must really suck.
