What are the Obamas Doing in Africa?

President Barack Obama's trip to Africa has largely been ignored by the U.S. media, and for good reason: it seems to have no real purpose.

While attention to Africa is long overdue, the president is announcing no new strategy, concluding no significant agreements--merely announcing a new investment in African power generation, which African companies are arguably capable of funding and carrying out themselves.

Much of his trip to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania consists of sightseeing with his family--and an entourage of 1,000, at a cost to taxpayers of $60 to $100 million.

Consider the reason Obama gave reporters about why he is visiting Cape Town on Sunday:

His schedule on Sunday begins with a flight to Cape Town and then a helicopter ride to the museum on Robben Island.

Obama visited when he was a senator but this time is bringing his family. He said he's eager to teach them about Mandela's role in overcoming white racist rule, first as an activist and later as a president who forged a unity government with his former captors.

Focusing on jobs — “like a laser beam”.

Not.

Just another “IN YOUR FACE WHITE AMERICA” spending trip while giving the complicit MSM something to write about other than his failures, lies, malfeasance and Constitution busting.

Maybe he’ll address the wonderful transformation of Rhodesia into Zimbabwe, and how it’s become the breadbasket for all Africa.

And how Zimbabwe is now a model of interracial tranquility, with black and white peacefully coexisting together.

Oh. Wait...

You'd think he grew up literally in chains being whipped on a regular basis for not working hard enough in the fields instead of the life he had of a privileged white kid who happened to have a good tan.

Where did he get all this hate for whites? From the sperm donor who met him once? He's barely black anyway. And instead of seeing progress he seeks revenge. This is a very screwed up person.

The Obama's seem to have a weird fascination with islands. Every year they vacation in the Hawaii islands and even in Africa they go to Robben Island. More time in paradise and we pay the bills.

Maybe they are greasing the skids to allow for a repatriation of African-Americans to permanently return to their homeland, as I am sure they all so desire?
