As you and several others respectively discuss Obama's visit to Africa, it is easy to forget that he is a human being. People are falling over themselves to write about him and even his family. How easy is it for him to visit all the countries which some people would have liked him to visit? If he had made time to visit all these countries, apart from the stress, he would probably have been accused of paying too much attention to African countries. Why the intense scrutiny? Do you think the man is superman? Obama has been turned into a brand, how fair is that?
Let me touch on the issue of the whistle blowers. Why do you think that these so called heroes have chosen to blow their whistles during Obama's tenure? After all, those acts revealed by those mentioned in your article, were already in place before Obama got into office. If these people have the true interests of the Americans or others potentially affected at heart, why have they chosen to release what is regarded as sensitive information anyway? It is interesting that they are all seeking refuge in countries which they deem not to be America's best friends. Why are are these people stoking up controversy if they are so peace loving? They are other ways they could have voiced their discontent of whatever activities they exposed, other than the way they have chosen to do it. Are they not simply seeking heroism on the cheap? As you list the things Obama should and should not do, remember he is a human being like the rest of us. Yes he is the President of the USA, not the President of the world. It is very clear that there are people who resent Obama's position in the White House and they hide under the cloak of undue opposition to project this. He should be left in peace!
