"We will be able to look back and tell our children that this is the moment when we began to slow
the rise of the oceans and the moment when we began to speed up the rise of homosexualism!"

During his recent trip to Africa, President Obama was the focus of some no-nonsense instruction about homosexuality both from citizens as well as top African religious and government leaders. At a joint press conference June 27 with Senegal's president, Macky Sall (shown), Obama declared: “My basic view is that regardless of race, regardless of religion, regardless of gender, regardless of sexual orientation, when it comes to the law, people should be treated equally, and that's a principle that I think applies universally.”
Responding to Obama's comments Senegal's President Sall quickly made it clear that he and his nation do not see eye-to-eye with America's chief executive. “We are not ready to decriminalize homosexuality,” Sall emphasized, with his people and even the nation's major newspapers expressing their overwhelming support.
In fact, many of Senegal's citizens thought their president should have been more emphatic. “He should have said, ‘This can never exist in Senegal; this can never happen here,’” Tidiane Gueye, a resident of Senegal's capital city of Dakar, told the New York Times. “Senegal is 95 percent Muslim,” Gueye added. “As a Muslim country, we will not permit laws that allow gays to marry.”
Another Senegalese, retired military officer Bouramon Ndour, applauded Sall, saying that “he did extremely well,” in standing up to Obama. Speaking of homosexuality, Ndour said that “nobody here can accept that ... we are absolutely staunch on it. Look, this is a Muslim country. Over our dead bodies!”
Kenya's leaders were just as adamant, with Deputy President William Ruto, speaking at a Catholic church on June 30, saying that for those, like Obama, who embrace homosexuality, “that is their business. We believe in God.” He added that “the nation of Kenya is a God-fearing nation.”
Similarly Nairobi's archbishop, Cardinal John Njue, said that Obama might as well “forget and forget and forget” about the the legalization of homosexuality in Africa. “I think we need to act according to our own traditions and our faiths,” he said. Speaking of America, Njue said that “those people who have already ruined their society ... let them not become our teachers to tell us where to go.”
Sheikh Saliou Mbacke, a Muslim leader in Senegal, said that faith leaders throughout Africa have a duty to speak out against homosexuality, especially if there is pressure to make the African people change their views. “The subject of homosexuality must not be used as a tool to blackmail and coerce society to defy God’s command, which is more important than any world power,” he said. “We will oppose any manner of arm-twisting that threatens us to embrace it in our societies.”
In Tanzania, Anglican Bishop Michael Hafidh said most African leaders would have preferred that Obama keep his opinions on homosexuality to himself and to focus on economic issues facing the continent. Homosexuality “is not an important issue for us now,” he said. “We don’t recognize or even think of it, let alone its legalization. I think since we have a lot of resources, our discussions with the rest of the world should be more about investments and trade.”
A total of 38 countries throughout Africa, where the majority religious faiths are Islam and Christianity, have laws against homosexual conduct.
Wonder if one of his newly minted homosexual ambassadors is slated for Senegal?
He is an embarrassment and a complete ninny hammer.
When does Africa start sending missionaries to us?
Cant add anything to that. And an utter disaster at Statesmanship, along wit our supposed State Department. The Dominican Republic is highly offended. Just how many more countries does he want to insult by attempting to foist their agenda against. Total, unmitigated disaster.
GREAT HEADLINE!!!!!
I think everything Obama does is basically for one purpose: the commandeering of a free nation by a Socialist/ Marxist totalitarian govenmnent. Obama is a true believer in collectivism and hates individual freedom. History shows that those like him who love the dictatorial rule of man will support ANYTHING to accomplish those goals. The only thing that matters is the objective. It doesn't matter how you get there - lie, cheat, steal, kill.
Obama sees "gay rights" is just another means of getting there. Once he's there, he very well could turn around and outlaw, incarcerate, or kill them because their purpose has been served.
Except he very well may be gay himself. There are many indications and much evidence to suggest that.
They did tell it like it is. They didn’t set this guy straight.
This is one bent individual.
His early years showed him to be engaged in homosexual relationships. He never met or dated a girl until his handlers selected Moochell for him.
They are already here. The Daughters of Divine Love are missionaries from Africa and have been operating in the United States for many years. They started their order in Nigeria. www.daughtersofdivinelovedev.org
Wow, that is funny and so true.

Lets not forget Obama’s good friend and Lover(?) Reggie Love. It was reported that Reggie went to Africa to be with Obama. We have one sicko President.

The problem with pushing a gay agenda is that some 90% of global population sees homosexuality as evil, following every mainstream religion.
In short none ever understand gay pride outside US, Canada and EU.
It is viewed as pure Sodom&Gomorrah and satanic cult from Poland and Russia to Arab Gulf, Africa, Oceania, Far East and Latin America.
That is exactly why US considered an Evil Empire nowadays.
Social experimentation is only for the rich; rich individuals and rich countries. No one else can afford it.
If someone is oriented to have sex with kids, ok per Obama.
If someone is oriented to have sex with animals, ok per Obama.
If someone is oriented to have sex with dead people, ok per Obama.
If someone is oriented to have sex with a sibling, ok per Obama.
He must think Africans are as stupid as liberals in America.
One thing I’m in agreement with the Islamic faith. Actually, most Americans agree with the President of Senegal regarding abominable homosexual behavior.
How could they “set him straight”? He was born the way he is, no?
Africans aren’t “real” Africans.
