President Obama Visits Ghana
Obamas visit to Africa is a significant historical event. He is half African, president of US and the most powerful man in the world. His achievements in Africa would not be as revolutionary as what he symbolises. He will make history. He has achieved more that any serious man could dream. He is on the top of the world but Africa wouldn’t.
Most Africans are delusional about how the relationship of Africa and Europe is and should be. Africans thinks shell or total or Anglo should voluntarily pay tax on moral ground, Europe should share their wealth with them and… [Read Full Text]
Why is it that every time a country or continent needs help its the AMERICAN govt. that feels the need to intervene and make things worse. VIETNAM, IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN and now AFRICA. American's went into IRAQ for the oil, Afghanistan for the OPIUM and now Africa for more resources. THE US says "Africa needs militiary assistance" but there are other things that are needed first. Issue's like better medical care and more ways of financing people's needs and better infrastructure, helping out small scale businesses, educating the youth, opening more schools and hospitals, end the GENOCIDE in DARFUR.

Although the world wants Africa to be free and prosperous, why should America stop supporting it's own farmers/ranchers? Also, it seems pretty ironic that Obama is talking out against corruption, when he was elected because of one of the biggest voter frauds in American history (ACORN).
Nobama,
It is sad that people still believe that they have had something stolen from them, I understand your concerns and if the election would have been closer I would sympathetic toward you, but it was a landslide and Obama won get over it. If ACORN did something illegal then they should be punished, but Obama won lets celebrate that.
You are VERY misinformed! What voter fraud..I don't remember that happening ...9 years ago with Bush and Gore yes! Obama and McCain..NO..Barack Obama won the race fair and square.
