So not a good idea defending the distribution of 7 billion dollars of our money to parties unknown for an unworthy cause.
If you got the idea that I was defending the action, I wasn't. I was speculating because someone asked why he would do that, and the answers that some were providing were unsatisfactory to me.
I figured his action was a cause for his legacy in Africa, and a cause for economic competition. I also, figured that, if called on it, he would defend it as an investment with much more benefit to this nation than the cost. Of course, I can't read his mind, so it is pure speculation.
I don't support or reject the action until I get more information, but I am worried about the inroads China has been making in markets all over the planet while we have been preoccupied with war and economic turmoil.
Obama's legacy aside , tell us working stiffs how taking money from us and gifting it to an african crony improves our lives.
We've been trying to tell the left this. Our poor are rich compared to 3rd world countries and Obama wants to take from us working stiffs to give to other countries. Watch, he's going to come after us for a tax increase.

This is not unique to Obama. Most recent presidents played the same game. Don't be ignorant of the facts. Telling the left anything doesn't mean much when the right is just as much to blame.

An African-American president ignoring Africa is not good legacy.

Losing Africa to China is also not a good thing to include in his library.
and shame on you for doing so as people struggle here in the states

Obama has done nothing but raise the middle class piggy banks and now he is giving it away to other countries. How about Democrats advertising Welfare in Mexico, yea buddy, come to the U.S. and we will buy your food, a roof over your head, bla bla bla BUT you MUST VOTE DEMOCRAT.

Similar to what other presidents have done. It shouldn't be that surprising. You should keep that in mind but you must vote democrat.
Meanwhile he is following through on his promise to make our bills skyrocket in the old USofA. What a leader.
(CNN) -- U.S. President Barack Obama pledged $7 billion Sunday to help combat frequent power blackouts in sub-Saharan Africa.
Funds from the initiative, dubbed Power Africa, will be distributed over the next five years. Obama made the announcement during his trip to South Africa, the continent's biggest economy.
"Access to electricity is fundamental to opportunity in this age. It's the light that children study by, the energy that allows an idea to be transformed into a real business. It's the lifeline for families to meet their most basic needs, and it's the connection that's needed to plug Africa into the grid of the global economy," he said.
My guess is that they're thinking that nurturing overseas markets will return much more than $7 billion.
You're way out in left field aren't you?
We need their business and they need ours. War kind of disrupts that, you see?
How is that way out in left field? We are preparing to get casualties out, special forces casualties. That means what exactly to you? This isn't some training excercise. Your war monger hero is just charging FOREWARD it appears.
