Obama gives pep talk and a hand to African nations

So the st. Paul republican paper did not have anything to say about the historic trip to Ghana- Africa by the first African American president. Politics and sheer racism as usual for the local dying paper. Thats why you will continue to sell for 25cents until you go out of business. God punishes injustices and racism. The core of the Bible is not abortion and stem cell but justice and the care of the hungry

Why is that historic? A leader of a country(who is a member of the human race) visits another country where there are also members of the human race. I thinks it's been done before.

Oh sorry Bernard I didn't realize you were living in the 90's. You see nowadays we view people by the content of their character not the color of their skin. The more people think like you "he's black, she's white", etc. the more you promote racism.

Historic trip? Bwahahaha! publicity stunt is more like it.

A lot of what he does is just to inflate his own ego.

This worthless POS piece of garbage better get out his own personal check book. f ** u Oboma

Strange how neither Obama nor the press could mention this:

"Over the past five years,[George Bush's] Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar) has saved close to two million lives by providing antiretroviral drugs to HIV-positive Africans. It has helped ensure 240,000 babies are born without the virus by giving their mothers drugs to prevent them passing it on at birth.

The programme supports nearly 10 million people affected by Aids, such as children living with HIV-positive parents, with food, housing and education.

Yet the initiative has gone largely unnoticed outside its core focus, sub-Saharan Africa."

Even Republicans should applaud President Obama's efforts to promote personal / national responsibility abroad.

Maybe he is copying GW the Moron Bush, you remember going to Iraq, even the draft dodger D-ick Cheney showed up a few times.

Those were NOT publicity stunts, no sir, they were supporting the troops and by golly they even wore a flag pin, a big one.

I would applaud if more Black Americans would listen to his words about blaming all their present ills on colonization and the policies of the West. Taking responsibility for the present day actions of their own society without laying all blame on Whitey would be a good first step. Raising their ideas of entertainment above the drum beat and primal screams could even be helpful.But then, who listens to Obama when he's not preaching socialism,

Ahh! the talking points again, "socialism".

You do enjoy your social security check every month.., right?

While he practices fiscal irresponsibility at the national level.

Africa???????

Send them 1 million rifles and an endless supply of ammo.

There aren't too many "drum beats" in Brooklyn Park, North Minneapolis, Washington DC, etc.

As far as "primal screams" are concerned, even a Clarence Thomas or a Colin Powell needs a primal scream once in a while just to say sane in a nation in which dudes like you are so prevalent.

Sometimes a man has to make a mess in order to clean up a mess.

It's all George Bush's fault.

Oh really? Something tells me that your father and grandfather probably weren't too crazy about Blacks. And I'm guessing that the reasons for that had nothing to do with anyone trying to force you to listen to The Platters or Louis Armstrong when you were growing up.
