Leadership: President Obama had some unsolicited advice for Africans on Sunday: Be wary of foreign powers — including the United States. So this is what our $100 million presidential junket is buying us?
In the most mind-boggling statement yet on his latest trip abroad, America's chief spokesman and the leader of the free world warned the African continent against assuming "folks come here and they're automatically benefiting Africans. And that includes the United States. Ask questions in terms of what we do."
It was as patronizing to Africans, who know all about Western aid rackets and do-gooder carpetbaggers, as it was insulting to Americans.
What kind of president goes overseas to warn the locals about the people who elected him? Yet, that was pretty much the message he delivered in Capetown, South Africa, in the same week the nation that has done more to help more people in more countries all over the world celebrates its 237th birthday.
Somehow, in the president's thinking, Americans are prone to dishonesty and out to cheat Africans even as global rankings show the U.S. is held in the highest regard for honesty and transparency.
Only a leader with deep misgivings about America's role in the world — evidenced in everything from his own apology tours to the first lady's admission that she wasn't proud of America until her husband won the presidential nomination — would say such a thing , anywhere.

From the average American Prez that is profoundly insulting, but from this inveterate charlatan, uh....
It's just exquisitely insulting. It's like he WANTS us to hate him more than we already do.
We will grovel before him, who grovels before others.
We are being made worse than whale Shiite.
I loathe these people: him an his enablers.
As I see it, 0bama knows he’s a hustler and revels in being one. He’s put on the greatest Hustle of the century. And like most hustlers at the end of the hustle he despises and loathes the ones he put the hustle over. Why?
If they were too stupid or naive to figure out what he was doing then there is no need to have any respect for them. He’s fleeced them and that’s all he’ll ever care about.
Unfortunately for him, the thrill of the search for the perfect scam or hustle is never far from his psyche. And like all hustlers eventually he WILL get busted and his former victims might be the ones calling loudest for his head.
I did say might be on purpose, such people often will NEVER admit to being hustled because it lowers their self-esteem and worth in their own eyes. And our schools have made it a priority to create as many of these types as possible.
Why doesn't he go to Deetroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, etc., and say the same thing? The same people he's lecturing are right here in the USA, sucking the life out of working Americans' earnings to buy their votes, and appease THEM.
BUMP!
great post...so true!
This stuff can't be made up... I'm speechless.
He has this to say about America and the Democrat Party and RINO Republicans go out of their way to kiss his sorry ass.
THAT IS OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT.
I wouldn’t give ten cents for Obama and the whole of Congress that goes out of its way to pass his lunatic bills.
A low rent attempt to denegrate the good things George W. Bush is doing in Africa.
I believe you’re right.
Obama tries to deflect anything bad that happens to George Bush but Obama is a hateful person that doesn’t miss any opportunity to “get even” with any person he feels has slighted him.
Bush has not slighted Obama but Obama knows Bush was a much better leader.
Just more evidence of his petty and vindictive nature.
The has been the longest 5 years of my life. It’s simply exhausting to be living under this nightmare.
