Dont hold out any hope for Obama getting a better deal from G20 group of Raskols.They will not listen to him some m,ay sneer at him when he turn his head while adressing them.Personally I feel that Africa is going to be further neglected.The only hope is to form a solid block in the oil cartel from each African nation and for each African nation to exercise good governance and that willn ever happen fisherperry@ymail.com

Just a quote from Frederick Douglass, which I think is relevant to this article. "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." I'm wondering how the previous commentor believes that Barack Obama will have the final say over the politics of any African nation, let alone the entire continent. Why should the people of African would allow him to do so? I believe Africa has the brain power to get the job done. The question is does it have the will?

This is the same Summers, who, when he was a President of Harvard University, said women didn't have what it takes to be economists ? How did he become a President of Harvard of all universities ? Apparently they, Summers and Voulker, are more practioners of agenda politics than economics of true open and free markets.

I wonder why all the time Africa keeps on asking for Aid when it has lots of resources why not use the resources and forget about the rich nation.All the rich nations are doing is using there own resources to make huge sums of money and Africa can do the same with good governance. Make Africa a united country as the Africa Union leaders proposes last time.Can not always be asking for aid.Saying 100 billion is a drop in the ocean why not make it.
