Zuma snubs Michelle Obama during First Lady's South Africa visit
Telegraph ^ | 6-21-11 | Aislinn Laing

South Africa President Jacob Zuma has snubbed the visiting Michelle Obama by sending his prisons minister to meet the first lady at the airport and failing to see her during her three-day stay.

Mr Zuma was out of the country for the first day of Mrs Obama's second solo trip abroad on Tuesday and although he returned on Monday night, aides said he was "not available" to meet her.

Instead, he arranged for Corrective Services Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to greet her on her arrival in Pretoria on Monday night, and one of his three wives, Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma, to meet her briefly on Tuesday.

Every stinking one of his reasons applied to Syria


Everything Obama and McCain said that the thought Kadaffy ‘might’ do sometime in the future, Syria is ‘in process’ of doing right now. Syria is currently massacring civilians by the thousands.

No consistency whatsoever and no respect for law or sovereignty. This is what has Africa and the ME so jittery. Nobody knows what could happen next or who could be the next target.

As far as Libya, they said it was to protect civilians. However anyone with more than two brain cells can see that it is not a defensive campaign. It is an offensive war of assassination and conquest. All that ‘humanitarian’ nonsense was just pure BS.

Whoa....that’s a serious thing to send the Prison Minister to greet any uh...dignitary(?), first lady, uh...exactly why should she get the roll-out red carpet treatment?

One it is a clear, very clear message to the United States, not just the 0bama regime.

Now, please consider the security risks of the 0bama’s continuing their grand world adventures...our poor Secret Service folks have got to be on such a heightened level ...I can not even imagine.

They, yes, I do mean the 0bama’s have pushed things way too far.

I do pray everyday for their safety. It is said, “God watches over children and fools.”

This may be far simpler than it appears.

Jacob Zuma is a Zulu. Michelle Obama’s ancestors were slaves from West Africa. Zulus are a warrior people with no respect for slave peoples. Or just about anyone else. They only grudgingly accept Boers as almost peers, after the Boers slaughtered a lot of Zulu in brutal fights.

When Zuma looks at her picture, he sees a West African.

I don’t ever recall Laura Bush being snubbed from anything...

Obamas?

They’ve done a lot of classless snubbing and now it is coming back at them...

The names of these people resemble Star Wars characters. This is no coincidence.
