So he was inspired by decades of conflict, and decided to recognize South Sudan? Something's missing here. This move requires a lick of common sense and/or a shred of decency, and if he doesn't lack one, he lacks the other.He just wants to take credit for someone else's work.

If he wants to recognize a thriving nation in that part of the world, why doesn't he start with Somaliland? The region, which used to be British Somaliland, has been a self-sustaining autonomous region since 1991.
The Somaliland government has established a number of colleges and universities (including one of the only womens' colleges in the Middle East) and has made great strides in improving and supporting the local economy.
The Somaliland Defense Forces have been a strong ally in the fight against Somali Pirates, most of whom come from neighboring Puntland (a large number of captured pirates have confessed to being police officers from Puntland), and have established and protected a number of camps for refugees fleeing the violence in Southern Somalia and Puntland.

President Barack Obama says the United States intends to formally recognize Southern Sudan as a sovereign, independent state in July. No comment by Gibbs as to whether by "July," they mean "yesterday."

First policy move of any sort that I can remember agreeing with Obama on.
I’m pretty happy about this.
Long Live Christian Africa!

Election officials said Monday that more than 98 percent of ballots in the Jan. 9 vote were for independence. That means South Sudan will become the world's newest country in July.
It's Zero's alibi for what he's doing in Egypt and elsewhere. Thanks Eleutheria5.

George Clooney went over there , caught Malaria, and wrote a private citizens report to Obummer.
Result: Southern Sudan is recognized as another US aid receptacle( Congressional Black Caucus Kick Back plan)and immigrant source for the USA.

It’s a entertainment cause dear to Hollywood hearts. Obama, being EVER so fashionable, is of course fully supportive of the development. I mean, he (Obama) actuallly met George Clooney over this at the White House.

But this purple-lipped douchebag won’t recognize Alaska, Idaho. or any other state that Sarah Palin has had anything to do with. I guess the 57 states that he visited on his campaign was enough. Now all he does is golf in DC, fly to Hawaii on vacation, and shut down Georgetown when he wants a burger.
To: ButThreeLeftsDo
Hey, he toured the 57 states! What’s wrong with you? :)

Doesn’t this effectively DOUBLE the UN “Human Rights” committee membership of the worst human rights violating country in the region? BIG victory for Hussein’s foreign policy!

I agree. Whatever motives may be behind this is immaterial. This is a very good move.
For those interested in understanding this issue better watch the movie, “God Grew Tired of Us”. It’s an amazing movie. The movie doesn’t put too sharp a point on it, but you clearly understand that, in a nutshell, the (Darfur)Sudan conflict is all about the brutal northern Sudan Muslims trying to exterminate the southern Christian Sudanese through cleansing.

Actually nobody ever said a thing - no hollyweirds no politicians nobody - except Christian Church orgs - when the Southern Sudanese were being massacred and tortured by the tens of thousands by the Muslims in the North.
