I wonder when people will realize that Obama’s agenda is to cripple America and redistribute our wealth to third world countries like Bush.

“WHAT’S THAT? YOU MISSED THIS? $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 went to a UCLA research team to teach African men how to wash their genitals after having sex. NIH wanted to evaluate the feasibility of a post-coital genital hygiene program.’

I did miss that.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry...

So he wants us to use less energy here but for them to use more in Africa.

He’s making us live more like them while trying to help them live more like us?

Yes, but Congress is in his pocket.

I'm elated that Obama could escape from the pressures of Sequestration on his Excellent African adventure at the expense of $100,000,000 tax payer dollars taking along The Mooch, Sasha, Malia, mother-in-law Marian Robinson, and niece Leslie Robinson.
Also nice to know that American taxpayers will fund a $7,000,000,000 African energy initiative while Obama fights his War-on-Coal that will "necessarily skyrocket" energy costs to those same American taxpayer.
What a guy !!!

Well, I suppose he has to represent “somebody” because he certainly isn’t representing the “taxpayers of the United States”.

Yeah; while we pay exhorbitant electric bills HERE, while our Taxdollars go THERE, as the Regulatory/Executive Orders circumvent Congress to penalize coal-burning power plants, hand Tax Dollars to assholes that pocket it and go bankrupt with goofy 200mph carbureator schemes (solar, propeller farms, etc.), and eliminate mining and power plant jobs up the wazzoo.

Follow the money; it's all to hand Tax Dollars to favored supporters and friends......(INCLUDING Unions)

Dumb American sheep don't care or are to stupid to understand.The only choice to make it right is the reset button,but Obama is resetting America and the world much faster than our hope and wishful thinking will allow.This skinny,vapid,faggoty turd of a usurper is the greatest threat this country has ever faced,and will lead us to our demise with a whimper in due time.

Ohaha thinks ahead.

When he retires, he’ll need $7billion worth of electricity for a 69 cent light bulb for his Kenyan hut (when he washes his genitals).

Shutting down power generation in America while giving away tax money we borrow from the Chinese in random bus stops in Africa.

Amazing that Congress allows this illegal immigrant to just give away money. He is not a king, he is a freaking President. He CANNOT legally do that! Only Congress can do that by vote.

This whole Government is Illegal now. Criminals run the ship.

"Power Africa will build on Africa's enormous power potential, including new discoveries of vast reserves of oil and gas, and the potential to develop clean geothermal, hydro, wind and solar energy,"

The resources are already there, and they are profitable to produce. $7 billion is utterly unnecessary for anything but Obama's African legacy. SMH
