Barack Obama has come under fire for extending a formal invitation to a shamed African dictator who has ruthlessly plundered billions of dollars from his own country.
The U.S. President will today have a coveted private meeting with President Ali Bongo of Gabon in the Oval Office despite his appalling track record.
Bongos family has ruled the impoverished African nation with an iron fist for five decades and have used its oil riches to fund a life of outrageous luxury. Meanwhile one third of people in Gabon live on less than $2 a day and thousands starve to death each year or are forced to pick through garbage to find food.
Critics have pointed out that Gabon, with a population of 1.5 million, is the third-largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa.
They claim that the only reason Mr Obama has agreed to the meeting is that he wants to curry favour with an ally to secure Americas fuel supplies - regardless of who it is.

Another Muslim dictator!!
“........to secure Americas fuel supplies - regardless of who it is.”
Instead of our own! Damn this fool to hell.
So, how many billion$ will Obama give his black friend.
another day in the Obama Whitehut.
In the immortal words of Daffy Duck...deth-spicable
Mr. “Spread the wealth around” won’t even help his own family out of poverty. Cold, calculating bat-turd.
There’s got to be some other reason because it is not characteristic of Obama to give a hoot about American access to oil, especially from a little no-name place in Africa.
But the situation immediately begs to be contrasted with Sarah Palin’s Alaska, where the state actually rebated its oil profits to all Alaskans.
Has Ali Bongo’s supporters also murdered Christians, like Obama’s Kenyan uncle, Odinga? If so, yeah....Obama is probably getting some advice and pointers on how to proceed to phase II of his Marxist plan of destroying America.
Ah, one corrupt African who has bilked his country out of trillions invites another corrupt African who has bilked his country out of millions.
Somewhere there is a connection.......
And no, it’s not race...it’s culture.
“Professional Courtesy” from one dictator to another.
Or playing Marcus Garvey?
One of mac daddies people.
Millions for foreign oil, not one penny for domestic suppliers!
Here's Bongo bowing before President Obama:
And here's Bongo when he first met the U.S. First Lady:
Oh to have a fake fly on the wall there. Hint, hint
Obongo invites Bongo to White House.
Ali Bongo of Gabon...'s family has ruled the impoverished African nation with an iron fist for five decades and have used its oil riches to fund a life of outrageous luxury. Meanwhile one third of people in Gabon live on less than $2 a day and thousands starve to death each year or are forced to pick through garbage to find food... Gabon, with a population of 1.5 million, is the third-largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa... [Zero] wants to curry favour with an ally to secure America's fuel supplies -- regardless of who it is.So, what's the problem? Damned naysayers. They've got $2 a day to live on, and garbage to eat. Geez.
OK, this could be any of nearly every African nation. Some headline.
Two, piss-poor, Third World-like morally bankrupt, politically corrupt, economically incompetent dictators.
Hmm, preparation for a possible defeat in the election?
Hussein had a Bongo in the White House? Or did he just have a bong?
Appalling Track Record? Who's Bongo's or 0bamgo's?
Just resign!
