Lanny J Davis, a lawyer who used to work for Bill Clinton, has resigned from his job advising Mr Gbagbo, claiming that the president had stopped taking his calls, and refused one from the US president.
Mr Davis said he had repeatedly tried to set up a phone conversation between Mr Gbagbo and Mr Obama which would have given the Ivorian "options for a peaceful resolution, that would avoid further bloodshed and be in the best interests of his country".
"Unfortunately, the decision was made in Abidjan not to allow President Obama's call to be put through to Mr Gbagbo, despite my repeated objections to that decision," he wrote in his resignation letter, which was seen by CNN.

I keep reading the Ivory Coast guy’s name as Gasbago, which I submit is the perfect moniker for a politician.
Basically he’s saying: SHOW ME THE MONEY!
Sounds like the Ivory Coast Pres, now views O-Bozo’s calls the same as a Telemarketer’s phone call.
For someone of O’s ego, that’s gotta sting...
Heck, who’d accept a call from our Moron-in-Chief?
This situation speaks for itself. Maybe it will save a little bit of American taxpayer money....wishful thinking probably.
Too bad the American people can’t just “stop taking calls” from The Messiah, and his Proleteriat Congress......
Maybe they should have his stand in, Bill Clinton, make the call...
Having Obama bow to him seems like a reasonable request in light of Obama bowing to everyone else.
Me - I've got a few paragraphs I'd like to lay on him.
Good for Gbagbo. I wouldn’t accept a call from that bastard either.
This according to Lanny Davis, who is a Democrat. Democrats never tell the truth except when they say they are going to invest your money.
While I understand your feelings, I sure would! I'd tell him to STAY OUT OF MY POCKET and to LEAVE MY HEALTH CARE ALONE! and then hang up.
Maybe the guy just isn’t that into COMMUNISM Lanny.
Ivory Coast president refuses phone call from Barack Obama
I don’t have the willpower to be as reserved. Anything I would say to that craven lickspittle would likely get me federal prison time. ;>)
