Sorry to burst your bubble, but Bush has done more for Africa than Barry.
That devil actually managed to do something that has already possibly saved 1.1 million lives, and could save up to 20 million but Obama has been lowering the financial commitment to PEPFAR.
i dont consider charity to africa to be doing something for africa, in fact i think aid to africa needs to be ended
what has he done exactly?
edit:
another good thing obama did, getting rid of this bum ass arab that went around calling himself the king king of kings of africa

Only in your mind is saving the lives of one million people something not to be celebrated.
I'm sure those children who will live to see adulthood might feel different than you.
yep, that is correct, in my mind africans need to stop dependency on the west, being dependent is not something that should be celebrated

Yet you're in here applauding a Presidential photo-op with a man who barely controls a fraction of his country.

Tell us more about this president. Is he legit? Does he have power? What are his relations with warlords and clan leaders?
His powers are limited, still reliant on african union troops, the government's cash reserves were embezzled by the last transitional government as well..he's friendly with the clans and has reached out... a lot of the old warlords are MPs in parliament right now.
Legitimacy wont come till he has his own force to hold Mogadishu and then in turn control the country obviously... thats a pipe dream tho

What prevents him from securing his own force? Is he essentially a technocrat with no gunmen on payroll? Does he have control over the funds pouring into the govt?
