The lady reporter needs to be clued in...about how Obama is The One...eveything he does is unique and important.
C’mon, get with the script.
Didn’t you also notice that she said the greeting was a typical African greeting to anyone “whether you are from Africa or not”....hmmmm, wonder what that meant?
LOL! I’ve been to Africa and been greeted by dancing and drumming. I guess that makes me an African idol like mr obama..
More liberal Americans need to visit Africa. The people there are more realistic and less race conscious (and more spiritual) than privileged liberal Americans.
The poor guy was left with nothing to say because Ghanans greeted GWB just as warmly as they greeted Obama. And Bush joined them in their dancing for a few moments— a class act.
That was funny. He sat up like he’d had an electric shock when he realized she was off the reservation. I predict she no longer strings for them after this insult to the great leader.
And the camera cut away from him! LOL
Didn’t they go absolutely bonkers for GW as well? I seem to remember something like that.
Did he ever flinch when she answered his question!
“Didn’t you also notice that she said the greeting was a typical African greeting to anyone “whether you are from Africa or not”....
Great observation.
Uh...didn't watch the video, did ya? ;o)
Boo hoo, I thought it was a black thing. No you nitwit reporter, it is an African thing.
Loved it about W doing the dance. LOL.
A pie in the face moment for our CNN anchor.
Yes, they loved GW. Many Africans realize that GW contributed MUCH more (American tax dollars) to AIDS and African health efforts than any American in history. I think Bush even impressed a reluctant Bono.
The Africans I met (subsharan eastern coast) would be much more atuned, philosophically, to Reagan and Bush than zerO.
Then the American army came and the same people cheered in exactly the same way they'd done every time before ~ and probably as in every century!
I think they were protecting a gazillion bottles of wine in the caves under the town.
There's no reason to believe the folks in Ghana are less capable of cheering than are others!
Nope, sure didn’t. I have a million tabs open and am busy trending Tony Snow.
SO I guess I remember right then.
That reporter had to eat crow, ha ha ha.
I remember President Bush’s Africa trip and he was greeted, IMO, with more excitement and warmth than Obama.
He tried, he *really* tried to make it look like -7bama was special. Too bad it looks now like they liked Bush better than him, what with all the drumming and dancing they did when he came.
Aw, nice try ya concubine, ya.
Try telling that to the black voting block in this Country. You’d be run out of town!!
Yes, which is what the Ghana reporter was telling the CNN anchor. He just wasn’t ready for her answer...because well, ya know, everything about Bambi is ‘unprecedented’!
