. The Hollow man only offers Africa a Slogan - a bumper sticker saying. Hey, but it was enough to put him in the White House, so he has great confidence in the power of these stickers. Obama leaves Africa with this great wisdom - "YES, YOU CAN." "ACCRA, Ghana – America's president and Africa's son, Barack Obama dashed with pride onto the continent of his ancestors Saturday, challenging its people to shed corruption and conflict in favor of peace. Campaigning to all of Africa, he said "Yes you can." "I say this knowing full well the tragic past that has sometimes haunted this part of the world," Obama told a riveted Ghanaian Parliament. "I have the blood of Africa within me." In the faces of those who lined the streets and in many of Obama's own words, this trip was personal. Beyond his message, the story was his presence — the first black U.S. president coming to poor, proud, predominantly black sub-Sahara Africa for his first time in office. The emotional touchstone of his visit: a tour of Cape Coast Castle, the cannon-lined fortress where slaves were kept in squalid dungeons, then shipped in chains to America through a "Door of No Return" that opens to the sea. Obama absorbed the experience with his wife, Michelle, and their girls, Sasha and Malia. "I'll never forget the image of my two young daughters, the descendants of Africans and African-Americans, walking through those doors of no return but then walking back (through) those doors," he said later at a grand departure ceremony. "It was a remarkable reminder that, while the future is unknowable, the winds always blow in the direction of human progress." Ghanaians lined up on the tarmac lingered for a time even after Air Force One disappeared into the nighttime sky." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090711/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama;_ylt=A0wNdOij8lhKl9wAADys0NUE . |

Does Obama realize that it was the African Tribes, that sold their own into slavery. The Tribal leaders, wanted to enrich themselves, so they made money selling their own to the slave traders. We bought the slave, so we weren't much better, but we weren't the only country buying slaves. I can't put the whole blame on African Tribes, without the demand there would be no slavery, but the Africans were willing to comply with the demand. |

. Obama really leads with Slogans. 'This is our moment' 'Yes, we can.' And on down the line. The media goes ga-ga over whatever he offers up and he offers up cheap campaign slogans and there are no fresh ideas behind his stuff. How has he done on serious policy? How about that Stimulus? How about the Omnibus Porkulus? . |
