On Friday, the White House announced that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama would travel to South Africa next weeks to pay their respects to Nelson Mandela. Obama has already announced that the White House will fly the flags at half-staff though December 9 in Mandela’s honor.
When former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died, President Obama did not lower the White House flags, nor did he attend her funeral, instead sending ex-Secretaries of State George Shultz and James Baker III.

Dubya is actively involved in the welfare of SA. And he’s modest about it in comparison.
The Obamas and Clintons will upstage him.
As you probably know, GW did a lot to combat AIDS in Africa.
Who are the real fools? Is it the fool or the people who freely follow and give power to the fool?
My reaction to the snub when Thatcher died was disbelief.
You just don’t do that to what is arguably our best ally [Great Britain].
I wonder what the Brits think now that Obama is going to South Africa - they were probably really pissed about the Thatcher snub, they are probably MAJORLY pissed about this ...
Or is it the people that know it’s happening and sit by, doing nothing, those trying to share a piece of the pie before it’s all gone?
South Africa has officially ended apartheid, but societies are still segregated. This duality is not helped with many black tribalists freely expressing their bitter, jealous feelings for whites. Remember that one legged Olympic runner accused of shooting his fiancé through the bathroom door? That fellow and his family live in one of many gated communities. They feel the need to moat themselves off in order to stay alive through the night.

Yes.
The two douche bags will never upstage GW.
Obama has already announced that the White House will fly the flags at half-staff though December 9 in Mandela’s honor.
The American Flag is supposed to fly at half staff today fir PEARL HARBOR.
Come on Obama. Buy a friggin clue!
Obama has so little class.
Republicans for all their flaws are so much more adult when they are in the Whitehouse.
It will be a jolly good show. With all the king’s horses, and all the king’s men. A plot made for TV. Everyone will be glued to their sets.
Well, all except that one fella down in Georgia, who told them to bugger off.
Cue the Video of Clinton laughing it up at Ron Brown’s Funeral, until he noticed the Cameras.
Maybe he’s interviewing for a job.
Zer0 has to make sure that White Guilt is seared into the white consciousness like a hot brand. The deeper it is, the more it can be exploited.
I LOVE the picture of SMILING Moochelle with WINNIE MANDELA, the NECKLACER!!
Clown Prince nobama and his commie clown consort should go to prison instead of SA. ALL are criminals.
Maybe Obama has agreed to fetch drinks for the Clintons and that is his motive?
It is a really good series with a really good theme.
The Sandbaggers which preceded it back in the 70s despite it being a bit dated is better to me. I could see the head of SIS in that series intervening.

“As you probably know, GW did a lot to combat AIDS in Africa.”
Just like Obama GW used American tax money and deficit spending to send billions to Africa when he should have been addressing his mounting deficit. GW is another socialist globalist elitist.
I expect a BIG ovation if GW speaks. Have seen video of his effect on the people in SA.
