President Barack Obama toasted the founding dictator of post-colonial Tanzania on Monday, who collectivized the nations low-tech agricultural sector, established a one-party state and left that African nations economy in ruins.
[Y]ou might say an American child is my child. We might say a Tanzanian child is my child, Obama said after quoting the Tanzanian saying my neighbors child is my child.
In this way, both of our nations will be looking after all of our children and well be living out the vision of President [Julius] Nyerere, Obama continued.
The core values that he proclaimed for Tanzania also describe what both our countries seek wisdom, unity, and peace Hekima, Umoja, na Amani, Obama said at a state dinner, held at 9.00 p.m. local time.
So what Id like to do is to propose a toast to our gracious Tanzanian hosts, to our Tanzanian friends and to wisdom, unity and peace that we all seek in the world. Cheers, he told the invitees at the dinner, which took place in the Tanzanian capital, Dar es Salaam.
Nyerere led a one-party state that nationalized key industries and created ujamaa, a rural, collective village-based movement of African socialism and self reliance, according to a 2011 report by the Congressional Research Service.
That ujamaa policy was very fashionable among U.S. and European progressives in the 1980s, when Obama was attending Colombia University and Harvard University.
But it wrecked the nations economy, just as similar socialist planning wrecked the partly-developed economies of numerous African countries after European powers gave up their territorial claims in the continent.
From the 1950s to the 1970s, socialist-themed policies crippled the economies of Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, Somalia, Ethiopia and several other African countries.
In Tanazania, Nyerere was succeeded by the president of Zanzibar, Ali Mwinyi, who oversaw political reforms and a gradual transition to a market economy, in part due to economic collapse brought on by ujamaa and centralized economic management, says the CRS report.
In this way, both of our nations will be looking after all of our children and well be living out the vision of President [Julius] Nyerere
I guess every once in a while, he slips up and lets the truth out.
Nyerere? Really? Another filthy, cunning, mass-murdering savage.
How insane is this guy, exactly?
“It takes a village.”. *snort*
Our Dear Leader Obamuslim is doing everything he can to destroy traditional American values. How can thi many people still be fooled by this Muslim in the White House.
Obama’s only actual children appear to be those weird daughters that nobody ever sees. But he seems to think he is the Universal Father.
Talk about delusions of grandeur. Well, Stalin always insisted that he be referred to as the “Little Father,” that is, a diminutive that would have been sort of like “Daddy” or “Papa.” So Bambi is not the only left-wing loony to do this.
I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together.
And you may ask yourself
Where is my beautiful country?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway to Socialism go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!...WHAT HAVE I DONE?
Was this followed by a toast to Edie Amin, PolPot, Ceausescu, Mao, Stalin, Cesar “buy this cool T-Shirt” Chavez, Fidel Castro, Kim Jong, Al Gore, Satan, Vlad the Impaler, and Josef Mengele?
FUBO! Communist bastard!
And for the intellectual level of the Obama supporters: There is water at the bottom of the ocean.
So true.
“..How insane is this guy, exactly?....”
Extremely. He suffers from the chronic, no-cure, mental disease known as liberalism. In the later stages of the disease, they lose all ability of rational thought. They become self-loathing, hate the innocent and those not diseased, and in some cases, extremely violent has we have witnessed over and over in the news media. He is in the later stages of the disease...it’s either that or he’s partaken in too much dope and man juice.
Primitive.
I think a village in Tanzania found its’ idiot!
I don’t believe he has fathered any children, unless they were but monkeys that is.
STAY THERE!!!!!
Is 0bama going to visit Rhodesia to tout the economic miracle happening there?
Is he writing his own speeches on this trip?
