From another article:

""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," it said."

Obama to unveil $7 bn Africa power plan

I guess it's OK for them to use oil and gas, but not for us...

[Paladin2]

So are we going to ship coal to Africa?

[realcleanguy]

Meanwhile we have power outages here because the LW is closing down power plants.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

What severe budget constraints?

[CottShop]

Got no money for our poor, our elderly, our dissabled, our veterans, but by golly we got’s plenty of money for other nations- Will energy prices in Africa ‘necessarily skyrocket” therre too? Or did dear leader only mean that poor Americans woudl have to fsace crippling high energy prices?

[Irenic]

Isn’t that purse in the hands of our congress, not the pResident?

[TheGipperWasRight]

If this wasn’t such a disaster, it would be hilarious.

I thought oil and gas were bad climate change juju.

I like how he had to throw in the geothermal, hydro, wind, and solar. Like they’re really gonna do any of that.

If the power from “necklacing” could be harnessed, South Africa could probably generate enough electricity for the whole world.

Obama to unveil broad African electrical power initiative ($7 Billion)

This bastard geniunely believes he is Emperor of the world.

[cardinal4]

100 million for his family vacation, so what’s a few BILLION more of somebody else’s money for his homeland..?

[Hardraade]

Good move. I hear many African nations have electrified chairs for homosexuals.

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

[boycott]

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?

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

Does this mean they have finally figured out the latrine thing?

[Amagi]

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 !!!

[The Working Man]

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

[traditional1]

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)

[BenLurkin]

Good grief he is generous — with OUR money.

[dennisw]

On the 7 billion dollar boondoggle Obama friend GE will be selling generating equipment to Africa which is falling to the ChiComs anyways

[American in Israel]

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.
